This concern was tackled in the recent special meeting of Provincial Health Promotion Board chaired by former Board Member Dr. Godofredo Galicia, Jr. Galicia said the provincial government under Gov. Joet Garcia is now going full blast in preparing for the implementation of Universal Health Care Law.
