He promised to provide special medical procedures and medicines needed by patients, with support from PhilHealth and the local government. 

“We look at Imus, Cavite as one of our most advanced local government units in terms of UHC implementation and to take a more proactive role in implementing the department’s initiatives as we envision UHC,” Herbosa said.
