MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur (PIA)--Following the celebration of the National Heart and Dental Health Month with various medical services rendered Monday, February 21, citizens here conveyed their gratefulness as they benefited freely from them.
Resident Mariam Bubong stressed that it was a wonderful time for them to know whether or not they have certain diseases like diabetes.
“Nakakatulong sila sa amin dahil nalalaman namin kung may diabetes kami o anumang sakit. Inaanyayahan ko ang iba naming mga kasama na mag-avail ng mga ganito para malaman din nila kung may sakit ba sila,” she said.
[They are helping because we would know if we have diabetes or any other diseases. I am encouraging others to avail of this kind of service so that you will know if you have an illness.]
Another resident Norainie Altao shared that now that she is pregnant, she found this moment a timely opportunity to have a health check.
She said that amid the pandemic, she has to have a regular check-up so that her health will be assured in case she begins labor.
With the positive impact of the delivered medical services, enjoying citizens hoped these would continue in a long run.
“Sana tuloy-tuloy ito at maging regular na programa para sa mga indigent na hindi makaafford na pumunta sa mga pribadong ospital,” said Altao.
[I hope this continues and becomes a regular program for the indigent who cannot afford to go to private hospitals.]
Among the services rendered during the observance of the National Heart and Dental Health Month were provision of body mass index, hemoglobin AC1 testing, and distribution of dental health kits. (CRG/PIA-Lanao del Sur)
