Taguig offers health services to EMBO residents; Makati blames ‘inaction’ on closure of centers

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 3) — Taguig City will provide free consultation and other health services to Enlisted Men’s Barrios (EMBO) residents as its dispute with Makati continues in 2024, this time involving the latter’s medical facilities.

\”Dahil biglaang isinara ng Makati ang mga health centers sa EMBO barangays habang ayaw nitong i-turn over sa Taguig ang mga pasilidad na ito, pansamantalang magbibigay ng teleconsultations ang Taguig para sa mga residente ng EMBO barangays na pinagkaitan ng Makati ng mahahalagang serbisyong pangkalusugan,\” the Taguig City government said.
[Translation: Since Makati suddenly closed the health centers in EMBO barangays while it did not want to turn over these facilities to Taguig, Taguig will temporarily provide teleconsultations for residents of EMBO barangays who were deprived of essential health services by Makati.]
Taguig added that the EMBO residents could also avail of personal consultation in their 31 health centers and three super health centers, which offer services like birthing facilities, dental services, and x-ray services, among others.
