CEBU, Philippines - Indigent residents in the different barangays of Consolacion who are confined in hospitals will be given immediate attention and don't have to worry about bills.
The municipal government of Consolacion in coordination with PhilHealth turned over cards to indigent residents in the town.
Consolacion Mayor Teresa Alegado visited barangays Tugbungan, Nangka, Pitogo, Poblacion Occidental, and Lamac and distributed PhilHealth Cards.
Mayor Alegado was assisted by barangay officials when she visited the different barangays.
More than 800 indigent residents in five barangays received PhilHealth Cards.
"Usa gyud sa gihatagan sa pagtagad sa atong programa mao ang pagseguro nga naa sa hustong panglawas ang atong mga kabus nga kaigsoonan sa barangay ug dili sila maproblema kon madala sa tambalanan," Alegado said.
The mayor is expected to visit other barangays this week to distribute the health cards.
