But he noted that most Filipinos suffering from cardiovascular disorders still have to travel to Metro Manila to obtain specialized services at the PHC, one of the major medical facilities built during the presidency of his father. The Quezon City hospital has been in operation since 1975.
The PHC may request any government department, including government-owned and or -controlled corporations, state universities and colleges and local government units to “render full assistance and cooperation” for its operation, he added.Inaugurated on February 14, 1975, during the term of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr., the PHC is mandated to provide comprehensive cardiovascular care “that is accessible to all.
