The proposed Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to be entered into by and between the Maria Reyna-Xavier University Hospital and the city government of Cagayan de Oro was favorably approved and endorsed by the City Council committee on health, sanitation and health insurance to the committee on laws and rules for appropriate action.
The MOA cites the commitment of the city government, through the City Health Office, to provide all relevant health programs as mandated by the Department of Health (DOH) by providing health care services in the rural areas of the city.
Under the MOA, MR-XUH shall provide resident physicians from the Department of Internal Medicine, Pediatrics and OB-Gyn every first Tuesday of the month. It shall, likewise, provide tele-health care assistance for the evaluation of their patients if there is no resident physician on-duty in Barangay Indahag.
For its part, the city shall allow the resident physicians to use the city-owned health facility in Barangay Indahag in providing free medical and health services to the people in the area. (clo)
