Pampanga Governor Honors Surgeons at 52nd Midyear Convention for Advancing Public Health

Governor Lilia 'Nanay' Pineda honoured surgeons and healthcare workers for their role in improving public health at the 52nd Philippine College of Surgeons Midyear Convention. The event took place at the SMX Convention Center in Clark Freeport, where leaders and medical professionals gathered to discuss advancements in surgical care.

The convention focused on 'Precision Care in Surgery by Cultivating Leadership and Competence'. Pineda emphasised the importance of compassionate medical service in protecting patients' dignity and preventing suffering.

During her speech, Pineda thanked healthcare workers for their dedication and sacrifices in providing quality medical care. She noted that precision care extends beyond treating illnesses—it also involves early diagnosis, disease prevention, and accessible treatment.

The governor highlighted the Alagang Nanay Preventive Health Care Program, which aims to improve community health through early intervention and affordable care. She also mentioned the opening of the Pampanga Provincial Hospital-Clark, the first government hospital inside a freeport, as part of efforts to expand healthcare access. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, now Pampanga’s 2nd District Congresswoman, attended the event alongside Board Member Kaye Naguit and medical practitioners. Pineda stressed that their collective work strengthens public health and ensures better patient welfare across the province.

The convention recognised the vital contributions of surgeons and healthcare professionals in enhancing medical services. Pineda’s remarks underscored the need for both technical skill and compassion in healthcare delivery. The event reinforced the province’s commitment to improving health outcomes through leadership and innovation.
