Fresnedi thanks Tugade for ambulance donation
Department of Transportation (DoTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade is set to donate an ambulance to Muntinlupa to be used for Covid-19 response efforts after being assigned in the city as an overseer by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID).
Tugade said he will personally donate one ambulance to the City Health Office, in addition to five ambulances to be turned over by the Department of Health (DoH), during an online meeting with Mayor Jaime Fresnedi and other Muntinlupa executives on August 18.
Fresnedi extended his thanks to the transportation secretary and said that the ambulance will be used for the transportation of Covid-19 patients and other emergency response activities.
City officials have updated Sec. Tugade on local initiatives for testing, tracing, and treatment such as the construction of the city’s molecular laboratory, testing efforts, construction of additional isolation facilities and contact tracing.
Muntinlupa has also partnered with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) for the construction of an additional isolation facility in Pacwood Site, Brgy. Tunasan with 128-bed capacity.
