THE Department of Health (DoH), led by Secretary Teodoro 'Ted' Herbosa, turned over P185 million in assistance to the province of Ilocos Sur, Saturday, July 8, 2023. 'The budget is a great help to the people of Ilocos Sur because it will give them speedy access to health care services that will go to Vigan City Primary Care Facility and Ilocos Sur Provincial Hospital,' Herbosa said. 'We continuously support the local executives to continuously support the health care needs of their constituents. It is very important that we provide this because this is one of the aspects included in the human development index. We can do this with the support of all the local government units. Let's help each other to attain the 'Healthy Philippines.' All lives are important for the new Philippines,' Herbosa added.
