An ordinance was recently passed by the 19th City Council headed by Vice Mayor and Presiding Officer Joy Belmonte establishing a male-focused clinic that will serve as diagnostic, treatment and referral facility of patient with sexual related diseases. SP 2249, S-2013, “An Ordinance Establishing Klinika Bernardo as a Comprehensive Sexual Health Care Clinic under the Quezon City Health Department” was created to address High Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) cases in Quezon City.
Although it is a male-focused clinic, this will cater also to female patients but will mainly accommodate patients who are stricken with sexually transmitted to sexually related diseases.
The clinic is already operational and is located at the back of Ramon Magsaysay High School, Edsa across Nepa Q-mart, Cubao, QC and operates beyond regular office hours and days to accommodate varying available schedules of the male sectors especially the young working male population. |
