MANILA, Philippines — The local government of Pasig City signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on Wednesday with Department of Health-Metro Manila Center for Health Development (DOH-MMCHD) to provide additional funds to the city’s hospitals.

Pasig Mayor Vico Sotto said the budget will provide P4 million for Pasig City General Hospital and Pasig City Children’s Hospital to help more indigent patients.

“Para naman sa medical assistance (na aminado akong kulang pa sa ngayon) kakapirma ko lang ng MOA para sa karagdagang pondo mula sa DOH para sa ating mga indigent na pasyente,” Sotto said in a tweet.
