BACOLOD CITY – The provincial government of Negros Occidental has partnered with Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital (CLMMRH) to strengthen health services and bring telemedicine to communities across the province.
Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson and CLMMRH officials signed a memorandum of agreement Tuesday to launch telemedicine access for residents, particularly in remote areas.
The ceremonial signing was held at the Governor’s Office at the Provincial Capitol and was attended by Department of Health-Negros Island Region (DOH-NIR) Director Dr. Razel Nikka Hao, CLMMRH Chief of Hospital Dr. Joan Cerrada, and Provincial Health Officer Dr. Ma. Girlie Pinongan.
Telemedicine is the practice of delivering healthcare remotely through electronic telecommunications such as phone calls, SMS, chat, or audio-video conferencing between a patient and a physician.
The initiative supports the Department of Health’s Universal Health Care (UHC) 8-Point Action Agenda by providing accessible medical consultations without requiring patients to travel.
CLMMRH serves as the Apex Hospital for the Negros Occidental Province-wide Health System, a role formalized through an agreement signed last year.
