Senator Christopher Lawrence “Bong” Go, in an ambush interview over the weekend after assisting flood victims in Davao City, reiterated his support for the continued operation of the Malasakit Centers initiative, a program he initiated five years ago.
The initiative, which aims to streamline medical and financial assistance to Filipinos, has since helped hundreds of thousands of indigent patients across Davao Region, and 7 million Filipinos throughout the country, according to the Department of Health . “Sa ngayon po, it’s raw data, pero mahigit 500,000 patients na po ang natulungan sa buong Davao Region ng Malasakit Center,” he said.
This latest expansion will bring the total number of Malasakit Centers to six in the region, further broadening its impact and reach. “Sa ngayon po, ang ating Malasakit Center sa SPMC [Southern Philippines Medical Center] sa Davao City, ang kine-cater po niyan, hindi lang taga-Davao City. Buong Mindanao, pwedeng lumapit diyan,” the senator elaborated.
These centers have significantly impacted the Davao Region, with the Malasakit Center in SPMC alone having served approximately 212,000 patients from 2019 to mid-2023.
