The Cavite Service Caravan held at the Tanza Convention Center on July 23, 2026, delivered comprehensive healthcare services to residents while also strengthening the municipality's emergency response capabilities through the turnover of 20 ambulances and 10 rescue boats.
Free Medical and Dental Services for the Community
The healthcare component of the Cavite Service Caravan provided residents with a comprehensive range of medical services at no cost . Patients received free medical consultations, dental and oral health care, laboratory services including ECG and fasting blood sugar tests, pharmacy assistance, and fluoride varnish application for children . These services were spearheaded by the Office of the Provincial Governor and the Office of the Provincial Health Officer, with emergency medical support provided by the Office of the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer .
The event, led by Governor Abeng Remulla and attended by Vice Governor Ram Revilla Bautista, Tanza Mayor SM Matro, and 7th District Representative Ping Remulla, builds on the provincial government's existing commitment to expanding healthcare access . Governor Remulla has anchored his administration on three priority thrusts: Health, Education, and Infrastructure . The caravan format brings these frontline services directly to communities, particularly benefiting residents with limited access to government offices.
20 Ambulances and Rescue Boats Strengthen Emergency Response
A significant highlight of the caravan was the turnover of 20 ambulances and 10 rescue boats to the Municipality of Tanza . The ambulances will enhance the municipality's capacity to respond to medical emergencies and transport patients to healthcare facilities, while the rescue boats will strengthen Tanza's disaster preparedness, particularly during the rainy season and potential flooding.
This investment reflects the provincial government's multi-sectoral approach to public safety, recognizing that effective emergency response requires coordination between health services and disaster management . The ambulances also support the broader goal of improving healthcare delivery across Cavite, ensuring residents receive timely assistance when they need it most.
