The initiative was officially introduced during the launch of the PhilHealth-accredited YAKAP clinic held at the CDC Auditorium, Clark Parade Ground in Angeles City on 25 May under the “YAKAP para sa Manggagawa” program.

The clinic offers primary care services such as health screening, medical consultation, laboratory tests, prescriptions and access to essential medicines, including coverage under PhilHealth’s expanded benefits.
