Health model
Ruso emphasized that dedication, effort, and practical work remain the only path to restoring a health care model that has long been recognized as a benchmark. He envisions a health system that keeps patient care at the core, with efficient service delivery, strong prevention programs, and a transparent administrative process that earns public trust. This approach aligns with a broader view of safeguarding community well being while prioritizing fiscal responsibility and accountability in municipal health initiatives [CITE: Public health policy notes].
In presenting this vision, the candidate pressed for a comprehensive plan that integrates medical expertise with local governance.
