The medical mission followed the SMFI’s Gamot Para sa Kapwa conducted at the SM City Urdaneta Central on 29 April in partnership with the CHO that delivered free medical and dental services to the community.

SMFI also provided free healthcare to more than 800 residents in Cabanatuan in celebration of World Health Day at SM City Cabanatuan on 7 April.

Children, senior citizens and workers received free medical consultations, lab tests via mobile clinics, dental extractions, and essential vitamins at the Gamot Para sa Kapwa supported by the CHO and the Philippine Medical and Pharmacists Associations of Nueva Ecija.

To date, Gamot Para sa Kapwa has benefited 7,557 patients from various communities nationwide, according to SMFI.
