Pasig mayoral candidate Sarah Discaya has pledged to deploy mobile laboratory clinics to serve residents — especially senior citizens and bedridden patients — who are unable to travel to health centers for testing, if she wins in the upcoming midterm elections.

“One of our dreams is to have laboratories on wheels — we’ll have that, too,” Discaya said during a caucus in Barangay Malinao on Thursday evening. “There are elderly people who are bedridden, and it’s really difficult for their family members to bring them to the hospital.”

“So we will have a mobile laboratory that will go around each barangay, equipped with ECG, X-ray and other lab tests, so people won’t have to go through so much hassle,” she added.

Discaya also committed to building two major health facilities in the city: an 11-story general hospital and a dedicated geriatric hospital for the elderly, both to be outfitted with modern equipment and facilities.

“One of Team Kaya This’ dreams is to build a high-quality hospital, because Pasigueños deserve that,” she said. “At our office at St. Gerrard, we get so many requests for CT scans, MRIs, and lab tests because people still need to go elsewhere for them.”

“When we build our hospital, we want everything to be available there. Even the medicine — you won’t have to buy from outside. Another dream we have is to make Pasig a zero-billing city — so you won’t have to pay anything at the hospital,” Discaya added.

If elected, she also vowed to implement a door-to-door delivery service for senior citizens’ maintenance medicines.

“It’s also our dream to provide free maintenance medicines to our seniors, delivered right to your homes — because you deserve that,” she said.

Discaya added that unemployed residents with motorcycles will be prioritized for job opportunities as medicine delivery riders.

Meanwhile, Team Discaya, has addressed a viral video involving a mentally challenged woman allegedly made to speak against reelectionist Mayor Vico Sotto.

“We’ve been made aware of an incident involving a person with disability allegedly interviewed by a vlogger to discredit a political rival,” the group said in a statement.

They clarified they have no control over content created by individuals who have visited their St. Gerrard office over the past six months. “We do not condone the use of any individual — especially someone from a vulnerable sector — for political attacks,” they added.
