PNP and Chinese General Hospital Renew Medical Support Pact for Injured Officers

The Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center (CGHMC) have renewed their commitment to support police personnel through a newly signed memorandum of agreement (MOA). The pact ensures continued medical assistance for officers wounded while performing their duties.

The agreement was signed on Wednesday at the CGHMC facility in Sta. Cruz, Manila. Maj. Gen. Constancio Chinayog Jr., Director for Personnel Records and Management, emphasized that this partnership aligns with the PNP’s vision of "Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat at Nararamdaman," which aims to enhance public service delivery.

"Every day, our men and women in uniform face risk and uncertainty in protecting our communities. They deserve timely, quality, and compassionate medical care that acknowledges their sacrifice and strengthens their capacity to serve," Chinayog stated.

PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Randulf Tuaño expressed gratitude to the Philippine Chinese Charitable Association, Inc., the owner of CGHMC, for its sustained dedication to the welfare of the police force. He noted that the collaboration boosts the morale, resilience, and readiness of officers who put their lives on the line to uphold peace and public safety.

"When our police officers are assured that their health and recovery needs are well taken care of, they can serve the public with greater confidence and dedication," Tuaño added.

Under the terms of the agreement, police personnel stationed in Metro Manila who suffer injuries during official duties will receive immediate medical care and treatment at the CGHMC. This includes access to surgeries, major operations, and the use of hospital facilities free of charge, contingent upon verification of their "line of duty" status.

The hospital will cover medical expenses up to PHP1 million. Any costs exceeding this amount will be the responsibility of the injured officer. This renewed partnership exemplifies a shared commitment to protect and support law enforcement frontliners in their vital role.
