According to the city’s Public Information Office, the services were delivered by the Caloocan City Medical Center (CCMC), Caloocan City North Medical Center (CCNMC), and the City Health Department (CHD).
CCMC conducted its weeklong activity from Feb. 9 to 13, while CCNMC held its program from Feb. 16 to 20.
The CHD also organized a One-Stop Shop Community-Based Health Services program in local health centers in North and South Caloocan.
Residents availed themselves of free x-rays, breast ultrasounds, dental and eye check-ups, electrocardiograms (ECG), bone scans, and other medical consultations.
Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan thanked the hospitals and the CHD for supporting the city’s health initiatives and reiterated the local government’s commitment to providing accessible and quality healthcare.
“Hindi naman po secret na malaki ang binibigay na prayoridad ng pamahalaang lungsod sa pagbababa ng libre at dekalidad na serbisyong pangkalusugan sa ating mga kababayan, kaya naman pinasasalamatan ko ang CCMC, CCNMC, at CHD sa patuloy nilang pagtugon sa ating direktiba (It is no secret that the city government gives high priority to delivering free and quality health services to our constituents. That is why I thank CCMC, CCNMC, and CHD for continuously responding to our directive),” Malapitan said
“Gusto natin araw-araw, lahat ng pangangailangan para sa kalusugan ng mga Batang Kankaloo ay naibibigay natin, kaya’t suportahan po ninyo ang mga inisyatiba ng ating mga ospital, ng mga local health center, at ng buong pamahalaang lungsod (We want to ensure that every day, the health needs of our Batang Kankaloo are met. We ask for your support for the initiatives of our hospitals, local health centers, and the entire city government),” he added.
The local government also added that free services such as prenatal care, immunization for children, and medical and dental consultations remain available at community health centers in the city.
