LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines — Cordova town in Mactan Island got a boost for their healthcare services after the Department of Health in Central Visayas (DOH-7) donated a new well-equipped ambulance to the town.
Dr. Efren Dico Jr., Cordova Municipal Health officer, described the ambulance as a “Type 1 ambulance with complete equipment like an automated external defibrillator (AED), ventilation and airway equipment, immobilization devices, dressing and bandages set, obstetrical delivery set, oxygen tank, communication equipment (cellular phone), and fire extinguisher.”
“So far, mao pa na ang first nga ambulance nato nga kompleto sa gamit nga mo qualify for licensing as ambulance. What we need is a trained ambulance driver,” Dico said.
