Isa na rito ay ang pagtatatag ng mga Malasakit Centers para matugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating mga kababayang sa kanilang pagpapa-ospital. Nais kong ipagpatuloy ang magandang gawaing ito sa Senado at sisiguruhin ko na makapagpapatayo pa ng mas maraming Malasakit Centers sa buong bansa," Go said.
