GENERAL SANTOS CITY (5 September 2014) – The time of processing the City Health ID will now be drastically cut short, as the City Health Office (CHO) has started its systems’ automation.
With the assistance from the Information and Communications Technology Division (ICTD) of the City Mayor’s Office, the CHO launched its City Health Information System Monday (September 1).
This information system of the CHO will automate and hasten the release of City Health ID, reducing the process from days into less than an hour.
The City Health ID is one of the most time consuming requirements to get a Mayor’s Permit—a necessary item before an individual can get work or employment in the city.
But even with the computerized process the other requirements for the said ID still remain, such as medical laboratory tests and a half-day seminar regarding basic health and sanitation.
City Mayor Ronnel Rivera, who was present during the launching, was one who first tried the automated system. It just took less than 10 minutes before the ID was fully processed.
“I am happy that gradually, we are heading to that goal of making our LGU offices fully automated and computerized. In this way, we can serve our constituents in a much faster, efficient, and convenient rate,” Mayor Rivera stated.
Dr. Benjamin Pagarigan of the CHO said that the launching of the information system is an initiative they have taken, in line with the thrust of Mayor Rivera to fully automate the offices of City Hall.
Pagarigan also added that the system will also simplify the profiling and data-banking of every individual who acquire services from the CHO and the public hospital as well. (Gensan CPIO/ Ian John M. Lagare)
