Prov’l Gov’t opens Public Pharmacies
 
 
The need of Misamisnons in availing cheaper but quality drugs and medicines has been answered. This comes with the implementation of Misamis Occidental Governor Loreto Leo Ocampos’ Health Sector Reform Agenda (HSRA).  

Probably one of the outstanding achievements of the Ocampos Administration, the HSRA will address the basic health concerns of Misamisnons, particularly the less-privileged ones. The said health program focuses on four (4) main components: (1) Social Insurance; (2) Drug Management; (3) Hospital Reforms; and (4) Public Health.
 
The HSRA is an answer to the pressing need of Misamisnons to cheaper and affordable, but quality drugs and medicines. The Provincial Government through the help of the Provincial Health Office has installed PUBLIC PHARMACIES to three government hospitals. These pharmacies are at the Calamba District Hospital (CDH) in Calamba Town; the Doña Maria D. Tan Memorial Hospital in Tangub City; and the Misamis Occidental Provincial Hospital (MOPH) in Oroquieta City.
 
These Public Pharmacies are able to sell drugs and medicines “so much cheaper” than what the other drug stores and counters sell. “This key development was realized through the Parallel Drug Importation,” a Provincial Health official said.
