🚑 LGU Matanog: A Proud Beneficiary of the PCSO Medical Transport Vehicle Donation Program
The Local Government Unit of Matanog is honored and grateful to announce that our municipality has been identified as one of the recipients of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Medical Transport Vehicle Donation Program (MTVDP).
This milestone places LGU Matanog among the 89% (1,540) of the 1,700 target beneficiaries nationwide who have benefited from this crucial medical support initiative. The program serves as a testament to PCSO’s unwavering dedication to strengthening local health systems and ensuring that even the most remote communities have access to timely and reliable emergency transport services.
In a recent turnover ceremony, a total of 158 medical transport vehicles were officially handed over to various municipalities across Mindanao, covering the provinces of Davao, Sarangani, Cotabato, Basilan, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Sur, and Maguindanao del Norte. Of these, 12 units were proudly awarded to the Province of Maguindanao del Norte, including one for the Municipality of Matanog.
Each Medical Transport Vehicle is fully equipped with essential medical tools and emergency response equipment to support efficient patient care and transport, including:
🚑 Portable stretcher
💨 Portable oxygen
♿ Wheelchair
🩺 Wall-mounted BP apparatus
💊 Medicine cabinet
🆘 Emergency medical equipment
The Medical Transport Vehicle will play a vital role in enhancing the municipality’s capacity to respond to medical emergencies. It will significantly aid in transporting patients from rural and remote areas to referring hospitals, especially in critical situations where every minute counts. This ensures that our residents receive prompt medical attention, helping save lives and improve health outcomes.
This initiative demonstrates PCSO’s steadfast commitment to public health and welfare, extending life-saving assistance beyond financial aid and into the realm of essential logistics and emergency response.
The Municipality of Matanog, under the leadership of Mayor Zohria S. Bansil-Guro, extends its deepest appreciation to the PCSO for their continued support and trust.
This donation marks another step toward achieving a healthier, safer, and more resilient community — where accessible healthcare services are a reality for every IMatanogn.
