Climaco, who is currently
the RPOC chairperson, said representatives from the provincial governments of
Basilan and Zamboanga Sibugay have already received their PPE. She said other cities
and provinces in the region will also get their share of the PPE from the IATF-MEID.
The PPE provisions for Zamboanga City were also distributed to the local members of the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines led by Dr. Maritess Maxino. Among the recipients were Zamboanga Puericulture Hospital, Zamboanga Peninsula Hospital and Ospital de Zamboanga.
The PPE were provided to the local government through the Office of the Civil Defense and the Department of Health.
Climaco thanked President Duterte and the ITAF-MEID and also the OCD and DOH for the PPE which the RPOC requested in an effort to ensure the safety of medical frontliners and healthcare workers as the country continues desperately battling the pandemic. (Zamboanga Post)
