Department Head checks up a young patient at the lobby of the newly refurbished Primary Health
Facility.
Healthcare facilities are essential pillars of every community, ensuring that residents
conveniently get the medical care and attention they deserve.
Dr. Alfredo P. Manugas VI, the Municipal Health Officer and Health Department Head, knows
just this. Serving at the San Fernando, Cebu Primary Healthcare Facility (SFCPHF) for roughly
15 years, he has imbibed the importance of modernizing facilities to provide better services to
his patients and safe workplace for his fellow health workers.
“This facility is close to my heart. Considering the length of my stay, this has become my second
home,” he said.
Dr. Manugas said that the collaboration of SM Foundation, local government unit of San
Fernando, Cebu and its mayor, Mytha Ann Canoy could not have come at a much better time,
especially at the heels of a global medical scare.
