The Philippines.- The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has donated patient transport vehicles (PTVs) worth PHP16.2m (US$290,580) to eight local government units (LGUs) in Luzon.

The beneficiary LGUs are Rosario and Cuenca in Batangas; San Mateo in Isabela; Pola in Oriental Mindoro; and the municipalities of Dumaran, Brooke’s Point, Magsaysay, and Coron in Palawan. Each vehicle is equipped with a GPS navigation system, ambulance stretcher, oxygen supply, wheelchair and first aid kit.

PAGCOR chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said the PTVs are designed to improve the ability of local health units to rapidly address medical emergencies, especially in regions with restricted access to hospitals and specialised medical services.

In March, the agency donated a PTV to the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA). The donation was part of a PHP300m (US$5.04m) pledge to the PNPA announced at the academy’s 45th Alumni Homecoming at Camp Gen. Mariano Castañeda in Silang, Cavite a week ago.
