THE DAVAO City Health Office (CHO) will be having its own building with 75% of the construction cost to be covered by the Department of Health (DoH). The city council gave authority last week to Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio to sign a memorandum of agreement with the national agency for several key projects, including the P60-million CHO building. CHO is currently renting space at a building across the city hall. The other projects include purchase of 16 ambulances, each costing about P2.5 million, and the repair of three health centers with a total budget of P3 million. — Carmelito Q. Francisco
