The initiative is a nationwide community-based health program that delivers free and accessible medical services to Filipinos. Launched by the First Lady in May, it has been rolled out in various localities through medical missions and outreach activities, anchored on the Universal Health Care Law.
In the city, the Lab For All initiative included medical missions in Barangay Valenzuela on June 19, Barangay Carmona on June 20, and Barangay Guadalupe Viejo on June 21, followed by a main event on June 23 at the Makati Coliseum, attended by the First Lady.
During the medical missions, residents availed themselves of a wide range of free health services, including ECG for individuals aged 35 and above, urinalysis, random and fasting blood sugar tests, BMI assessment, hemoglobin testing, cholesterol and uric acid screening, chest X-ray, fetal Doppler, ultrasound for pregnant women, free medical consultations, and free medicines good for 15 days.
Binay emphasized that the program reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the country’s healthcare system and ensuring that every Filipino has equitable access to quality health services, in line with Republic Act No. 11223 or the Universal Health Care Act.
“We sincerely thank First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos for her commitment to making healthcare more accessible to every Filipino. Through initiatives like Lab For All, essential medical services are brought directly to communities, helping more people take proactive steps toward better health and well-being,” the mayor said.
She also highlighted that the initiative significantly helps strengthen preventive healthcare at the community level, especially for vulnerable sectors.
“Preventive healthcare is one of the most effective ways to build healthier communities. By providing free consultations, diagnostic services, and medicines, Lab For All empowers residents to detect health concerns early and seek timely treatment,” she stated.
The mayor also thanked the First Lady for her efforts in promoting public health initiatives and acknowledged President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s support for improving the country's healthcare system.
