DOH commends Zamboanga’s Covid-19 response

CHIEF COVID fighter Mayor Beng Climaco again thanked medical frontliners and all those who are in the forefront of the battle against the deadly coronavirus disease, saying, all credits to the local government’s outstanding pandemic response go to them.

Climaco’s statement came after the Department of Health (DOH) commended the local government for its critical role in addressing the Covid-19 pandemic and the implementation of various health programs in Zamboanga. 

In a letter to Climaco, the DOH said it recognizes Zamboanga City as an “outstanding local government unit that has greatly contributed to the regional response against the Covid-19 pandemic, and at the same time pushed for the unhampered implementation of other critical health programs.” 

The mayor renewed her strong commitment to the national health programs and vowed to continue supporting the DOH in the implementation of critical programs for the welfare of the people. 

In addition to its pandemic response, the local government championed DOH health programs and advocacies, including the recently concluded measles-rubella supplemental immunization activity, and the BIDA Solusyon sa Covid-19 which aims to encourage the Filipinos to take an active role in the fight against the coronavirus. 

The campaign promotes the active role of individuals in the fight against Covid-19 by practicing BIDA or B - Bawal walang mask; I - I-sanitize ang mga kamay, iwas-hawak sa mga bagay; D - Dumitansya ng isang metro and A - Alamin ang totoong impormasyong. 

The City Government is expected to be honored this month by the DOH in recognition for its outstanding Covid-19 response. Zamboanga now has now a little over 180 active Covid-19 cases from more than 700 in previous months due to the aggressive campaign by the local Covid-19 task force headed by Climaco.
