In line with the construction of the City Hall Annex at Paulba, Ligao City, the City Health Office (CHO) Extension is being constructed at Barangay Nasisi, Ligao City to make health services available to the residents in the Mayon unit barangays. The construction is expected to be finished this April 2014 according to Nasisi Barangay Captain Jurlan Buello. The on-going construction is located beside the Nasisi Barangay Hall.
The budget for the CHO Extension is supposedly allotted to the expansion of the CHO Main Office at Sta. Cruz, Ligao City. However, due to the lack of space, the local government decided to put up a CHO Extension at Barangay Nasisi instead, which in turn will benefit the residents in the Mayon unit.
Brgy. Captain Buello also said that health services at CHO Extension are similar to those offered at CHO Main. The facility will also serve as a Lying-in Clinic as it will offer childbirth services. One resident doctor and a nurse will be assigned every day at the clinic. Brgy. Captain Buello also said the project will benefit the residents in the Mayon unit as they will no longer have to visit the CHO Main for medical check-ups and other services, thereby saving travel time and expenses.
The construction of the CHO Extension was funded by the Department of Health while the Department of Public Works and Highways is the implementing agency with the allotted budget of two million pesos (P 2M). This project is another initiative of Mayor Patty Gonzalez-Alsua and Congressman Fernando V. Gonzalez.
