BACOLOD CITY – Senator Risa Hontiveros launched her mobile health clinic project with Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson at the Negros Occidental Capitol grounds in Bacolod City Monday afternoon, September 27.
The mobile clinic aims to provide free health services, including X-rays, ultrasounds, ECGs, and blood chemistry.
The mobile clinic will provide non-COVID-19 health services, she said.
Hontiveros and Lacson also inked a partnership agreement to provide medical assistance for indigent patients at the Teresita L. Jalandoni Provincial Hospital in Silay City.
Lacson said the launching of the Mobile Health Clinic is completely necessary.

Lacson thanked Hontiveros for choosing Negros Occidental to be the first provincial partner of her project.
