Pinangunahan po ng Manila Health Department ang ating regular na flag-raising ceremony ngayong araw. Bagama’t maulan, tuloy pa rin ang ating pagtataas ng watawat na ginanap sa Bulwagang Bayan.

Patuloy po tayong magsisikap sa pagsasaayos ng ating mga pasilidad sa pitong district hospitals at mga health center ng lungsod. Sisikapin din po natin na matiyak na may sapat na suplay ng gamot sa ating mga health center at ospital.

Lubos din po ang ating pasasalamat sa mga doktor, nurse, health worker, volunteer, at non-medical personnel na katuwang natin sa pagpapanatiling ligtas at malusog ang ating mga Batang Maynila.
