ALILEM, Ilocos Sur -- Luzon Hydro donated some P600,000 worth of medical equipment and supplies to host barangays in this town to for immediate clinical response.
    “Luzon Hydro is providing these much needed supplies to best equip barangay health care workers, so they in turn can provide quality medical service to their community,” said Noreen Marie Vicencio, vice president for corporate services.
    Four sets of donations were distributed to four barangays to be used by the health clinics. 
    These included weighing scale, medicine cabinet, consultation and examination tables, wheelchair, basic surgical equipment, and refrigerator among others. 
    Barangays Kiat, Daddaay, Apaya, and Apang were identified as areas where procurement and delivery of medical supplies and services remained a challenge, even with ease of travel restrictions and lockdowns.
    Vicencio said Luzon Hydro aims to bolster Alilem’s recovery efforts through health and community initiatives. 
    “The donated equipment and supplies are vital components in our sustained battle against this pandemic,” said Dionisio Ciriaco, barangay chairman of Kiat. “With these, we can now address the immediate medical needs of our community.”
    Alilem, Ilocos Sur is home to Luzon Hydro’s 74.8MW clean and renewable energy (Cleanergy).
