Governor Eugene Balitang Inaugurates Barangay Health Center

by Vency D. Bulayungan

Folks here are grateful as they joined local officials in the inauguration of the newly constructed barangay health center.

Governor Eugene Balitang said that the Pieza Barangay Health station is a milestone in the lives of the people here as this has been the clamor of the residents to meet their health needs.

"It has been our desire to bring services like this to the grassroots and since health is one of our priority agenda, we always see to it that we strengthen the preventive side thru our public health advocacies," Balitang said.

"With the establishment of the said health facility, people will not be hard up in going to the town center to seek for early treatment of their ailments and pregnant women who are about to give birth will be taken cared of and this will save the lives of both mother and child," Balitang added.

The health center is funded under the European Communities-Department of Health (EC-DOH) and the construction started during the administration of former governor Teddy Baguilat Jr, now the congressman of the province.
