According to the city’s Public Information Office, the local government provided free health services, including a one-stop-shop community-based medical program that served nearly 1,200 residents.

The Caloocan City Medical Center (CCMC) and Caloocan City-North Medical Center (CCNMC) also conducted a week-long medical mission, serving around 3,500 individuals with services such as family planning, OB-GYN consultations, STD screenings, dental checkups, ultrasounds, mammograms, electrocardiograms (ECG), and complete blood count (CBC) tests.

Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan expressed his gratitude to the doctors, health workers, and officials of CCMC and CCNMC for their dedication to providing accessible healthcare.

“Nagpapasalamat tayo nang lubos sa CCMC, CCNMC, at sa lahat ng mga health worker sa ating lungsod na naging malaking dahilan kung bakit matagumpay ang inisyatibang ito at sa pagtulong sa atin na patuloy na ipakitang deserve ng mga Batang Kankaloo ang libre at de-kalidad na serbisyo medikal (We express our deepest gratitude to CCMC, CCNMC, and all the health workers in our city who played a significant role in the success of this initiative and in helping us continuously prove that Batang Kankaloo deserve free and high-quality medical services),” he said.

He emphasized that the true essence of the Cityhood Anniversary is public service, which the city government demonstrates by prioritizing the health and well-being of its residents.

"Ang pagdiriwang po natin ngayong buwan ay hindi lamang upang gunitain ang Caloocan Day, kundi ipakita na ang buo ang pagsisikap ng pamahalaang lungsod sa pagbibigay ng mga kailangan ng mga mamamayan (Our celebration this month is not only to commemorate Caloocan Day but also to showcase the city's government's unwavering efforts in providing for the needs of our citizens)," he said.

"Kaya naman gaya po ng aking ipinangako sa inyo noon, araw-araw po ang pagbibigay natin ng prayoridad sa inyong kalusugan at kapakanan (That is why, as I promised you before, we will continue to prioritize your health and well-being every single day)," the mayor added.

The city government also continues to offer free healthcare services, including chest x-rays through the tuberculosis (TB) caravan, vaccinations against infectious diseases, and "Sagip Mata" operations.
