Inside the newly opened primary care facilities are dental rooms with dental chair and equipment, consultation rooms, laboratory rooms, physician's rooms, pantries, storage rooms, and pharmacies with readily available medicines.

Seven more primary health care units are set to be established in Barangay Tabun, Cutud, Barangay Pulungbulu, Anunas, Capaya, Amsic, and Balibago are also set to be launched this year, which will bring up the total of primary care facilities into 15.
