ANGELES CITY — Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr. officially opened two primary care facilities in Barangay Pulung Maragul and Malabanias as part of the city government's efforts to provide quality health care services for all Angeleños on Tuesday, March 11.
The construction of the primary health care units will provide Angeles City with the ideal number of primary care facilities for its population.
The city government allotted P55 million for the construction of additional nine primary care facilities in the city.
