Las Pinas Mayor-elect April Aguilar said more than 600 residents availed of the free medical and social services during the kick-off of the program held at the CAA Elementary School covered court.
Aguilar said the program that aims to deliver accessible healthcare and assistance directly to communities offers free medical consultations, laboratory diagnostics, eye check-ups with distribution of eyeglasses, BMI and sugar testing, and the issuance of free maintenance medicines by the Department of Health.
The Lab For All Caravan is a national initiative of First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos. It is seen as an important step in strengthening the government’s commitment to inclusive health and social welfare delivery.
The mayor-elect, who was present during the launching of “Lab for All Caravan” to monitor the smooth implementation of the services, highlighted the city’s full support in collaborating with national agencies to address the needs of Las Piñeros, especially those with limited access to healthcare.
Aguilar said more Las Piñas barangays are scheduled to benefit from the ongoing series of medical missions.
