Health
The Municipality of Sogod has one government-owned hospital and three private hospitals that cater the community. Recently, the three hospitals (excluding the newly constructed Pudpud Surgical Hospital) has upgraded its equipment and rehabilitated its facilities and buildings. Doctors in the municipality are taking shifts and regular visits in these hospitals to require the needs of the people. Nurses and midwives are also doing their job to assure the patient's health. However, the municipality is a recipient of the N.A.R.S project, a program that gives jobs to those nursing students who are unemployed, supplies nurses to Sogod District Hospital. Nursing students from the schools in Sogod are practicing their profession in the hospitals that were assigned.

Famous quotes containing the word health:
“The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“You will hardly know who I am or what I mean,
But I shall be good health to you nevertheless,
And filter and fibre your blood.
Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged,
Missing me one place search another,
I stop somewhere waiting for you.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“Pardon me, you are not engaged to any one. When you do become engaged to some one, I, or your father, should his health permit him, will inform you of the fact. An engagement should come on a young girl as a surprise, pleasant or unpleasant, as the case may be. It is hardly a matter that she could be allowed to arrange for herself.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
