Through the collective efforts of the Provincial Health Office, its dedicated healthcare workers and other stakeholders, the Province of Davao Occidental is now one of the recognized Universal Health Care Integration Sites (UHC IS) in the country.
The Department of Health (DOH) released Memorandum No. 2024-0189 last May 9, 2024 stating that the Province of Davao Occidental has fulfilled requirements and joins the other 90 UHC IS in the country. These UHC IS shall be provided with continuous technical assistance for the integration of their local health systems in the implementation of the Universal Health Care Act.
This is another milestone in the healthcare system in the province, which would concretize the UCH’s mandate in ensuring that every Filipino is healthy, protected from health hazards and risks, and has access to affordable, quality and readily available health service that is suitable to their needs.
