The study, published in the Belitung Nursing Journal, highlights the experiences of Local Chief Executives (LCEs) in Central Visayas.

The research, conducted in partnership with Silliman University, Cebu Normal University, and funded by the Department of Health (DOH)-Central Visayas, focuses on how the MLGP enhances leadership competencies of LCEs. Flores shared insights on how nurses and governance experts have played a key role in transforming local health leadership, especially in underserved communities. This is part of ZFF’s ongoing effort to improve healthcare delivery through strong local leadership.
