More than 700 residents of Barangay West Crame received free healthcare services during a one-day medical mission led by the Rotary Club of Camp Crame, in partnership with MedGo Group, TrustTrade, and the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The initiative delivered laboratory testing, consultations, and medicines through an organized on-site system designed to maximize patient coverage.

A total of 433 beneficiaries underwent laboratory diagnostics, including Chem 12 and HbA1c tests, while others received physician consultations, ECG, and X-ray services. Two mobile X-ray units were deployed to support faster diagnosis, with results used for immediate medical evaluation and treatment. The laboratory services alone were valued at around P866,000, based on standard package costs, excluding additional support such as medicines and logistics.

“Batid po namin na sa araw-araw na pangangailangan ng aming mga residente, hindi po laging sapat ang aming kakayahan upang matugunan ang lahat ng kanilang serbisyong medikal. Kaya naman taos-puso po kaming nagpapasalamat sa mga ganitong inisyatiba mula sa mga partner organizations na tumutulong upang punan ang mga kakulangan at makapaghatid ng agarang serbisyong pangkalusugan sa aming mga nasasakupan,” said Barangay Chairman Marcelino Trinidad.
