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:
“It is always singular, but encouraging, to meet with common sense in very old books, as the Heetopades of Veeshnoo Sarma; a playful wisdom which has eyes behind as well as before, and oversees itself. It asserts their health and independence of the experience of later times. This pledge of sanity cannot be spared in a book, that it sometimes pleasantly reflect upon itself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But from the good health of the mind comes that which is dear to all and the object of prayer—happiness.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
