Indian nationals Kaushik Shah, Vishal Takkar and Dr. Arindam Banerjee of Hemant Surgical Industries, Ltd. paid a courtesy visit with Mabalacat City officials on November 16 to express support for Mayor Cris Garbo’s plan on improving the city’s health programs.

Shah, Takkar and Banerjee presented their proposal to put up a hemodialysis center in the city which complements the goal of the mayor.

Being the focal person for health in the League of Cities of the Philippines and a graduate of medicine himself, Garbo aims to provide a top-quality facility that would cater to the medical needs of Mabalaquenians.

“One of the flagship projects in my second term is to create a high-standard dialysis center that can accommodate more Mabalaquenians who need the treatment,” the mayor said.

Aside from the hemodialysis center, Garbo said he will put up a wellness center and is exploring the possibility of having a research laboratory for other diseases.

Garbo extended his gratitude to the Indian nationals for choosing Mabalacat City as one of their chosen locations given their vast global experience in health care.

“Being visited by a reputable foreign investor like Hemant Surgical Industries is an indicator that the international private sector acknowledges our sincere efforts in the local government of pursuing to provide our fellow Mabalaquenians the best services and the proper treatment they deserve,” Garbo pointed out.

Mabalacat City is known to be strategically located because of its accessibility with numerous entry points from the North Luzon Expressway, the South Luzon Expressway, and MacArthur Highway as well as its proximity to the Clark Freeport Zone. (Mabalacat City News)
