To bolster the optimum use of existing health resources, facilities and health care provider networks, as well as creating a more coordinated patient referral and transfer system, the Bureau of Fire Protection National Capital Region (BFPNCR) collaborated with the Department of Health (DOH) for a unified, fast and efficient emergency response in times of pandemic and other health crisis to provide health-related services, especially in poor and remote areas. BFPNCR Director C. Supt. Nahum B. Tarroza (photo above) cited the urgency of the tie-up with DOH National Capital Region to improve the command’s emergency response capabilities and capacities.
