Health Secretary Teodoro J. Herbosa commended Pampanga Governor Dennis โDeltaโ Pineda and Vice Governor Lilia โNanayโ Pineda for their โexemplaryโ healthcare programs during the inauguration of the first-ever Bagong Urgent Care and Ambulatory Service (BUCAS) center in Sto. Tomas, Pampanga on Wednesday.





The secretary of health expressed his admiration for the dedication of Governor Delta and Vice Governor Nanay to prioritize health initiatives, stating, โParati na lang akong nandito sa Pampanga, baka mainggit na yung ibang probinsya. This gives you the idea that the governor and vice governor are focused on health. And I wish all chief executives in the Philippines are like these mother and son.โ
Under their leadership, the province has seen remarkable progress in its healthcare system, including the establishment of state-of-the-art healthcare facilities and the implementation of preventive healthcare programs. Secretary Herbosa highlighted the significance of these efforts, noting that they were inspired by the โLab for all programโ initiated by First Lady Louis Araneta-Marcos.
Secretary Herbosa also acknowledged Vice Governor Nanayโs valuable contribution to crafting projects and programs for the benefit of Filipinos, emphasizing her unique perspective as both a chief executive and a politician.
โShe advised meโฆ She looks at healthcare in the lens of a chief executive and a politician and I love that kasi wala ako lens na ganon,โ he added.
The provincial government of Pampanga, under Governor Deltaโs initiative, has continuously supported the healthcare needs of indigent Kapampangan through the provision of medical financial assistance.
Additionally, the โAlagang Nanay Preventive Healthcare Programโ has conducted regular medical missions, providing free medical services such as provision of medicines, check-ups, surgeries, and eye assessment to more than 20,000 Kapampangan as of January 2024.
