A SEA ambulance that can quickly take patients to mainland Cebu during medical emergencies was launched Monday, Feb, 21, 2022 in Bantayan town, Cebu, the municipality announced on its Facebook page. The Department of Health Central Visayas (DOH 7) provided the Municipality of Bantayan with the P3 million sea ambulance last Feb. 9, during which the two parties signed the memorandum of agreement for the Deed of Donation. It was also the occasion for the vessel’s blessing. The sea ambulance is among five that the DOH 7 plans to give to various local government units in the region, the DOH said earlier this month.
