The Caloocan City Medical Center (CCMC) and the Caloocan City North Medical Center (CCNMC) will give free health services to women in observance of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.
Services will be offered daily from Monday to Friday, including free breast and pregnancy ultrasound, and removal of lumps or cysts.
“Ngayong buwan ng Oktubre, libreng serbisyong pangkalusugan ang hatid ng CCMC at CCNMC para sa mga kababaihan. Batid po natin na iba’t-iba ang pangangailangan ng ating mga mamamayan, depende sa edad, kasarian, at iba pang mga konsiderasyon kaya naman po sinisikap natin na kumpleto at angkop ang mga health services na natatanggap ng ating mga kababayan (This October, CCMC and CCNMC are offering free health services for women. We know that the needs of our citizens are different, depending on age, gender, and other considerations, which is why we strive to provide our citizens with complete and appropriate health services," Mayor Along Malapitan said.
“Sa lahat po ng kababaihan sa lungsod, samantalahin po natin ang mga libreng serbisyong ito upang matutukan po ninyo ang inyong kalusugan. Mas mainam na pong malaman kaagad kung may mga pagbabago sa inyong katawan upang maagapan na kaagad at mabigyan ng tamang lunas o gamot (To all the women in the city, let's take advantage of these free services so you can focus on your health. It is better to know immediately if there are changes in your body so that you can take action and be given the right cure or medicine),” he added.
The program is the city government’s initiative to cater to the specific needs of the Batang Kankaloos.
