One of the primary programs of the Municipality
is to improve the delivery of health services to all of
its constituents. The administration allocated
additional budget for medicines, equipment and health
workers. Through this, we were able to reach
more indigents and deliver quality and efficient health
service.
Free medicines are made
always available for the needy and sick people of
Gerona. Educating people on first aid skills and herbal
and medicinal plants are also conducted to empower
people.
Qualified staffs are always ready to help the needy, and
offer whatever assistance they can render. Office hours
are from 8am to 5pm, aside from roving health workers.
