First Lady Liza Marcos attended the recently-held “LAB For All” medical caravan in Balanga City, Bataan.
The medical caravan was the First Lady’s initiative. Hundreds of Bataan residents on Tuesday availed of free medical consultations and services and free medicines.
LAB For All was initiated as part of efforts to bring free medical consultations, laboratory services, and distribution of medicines to the communities.
Marcos, in a message, said the caravan aims to bring medical services to those affected by the recent typhoons in Bataan.
Bataan Governor Joet Garcia said Bataan residents are fortunate because the First Lady recognizes the importance of health care.
Garcia also lauded the medical caravan, saying that this is an effective way to provide medical services in Bataan province.
Bataan 2nd district Cong Abet Garcia said, “Ang layuninng Lab For All ay pag-isahin ang bansa, yakapin at mahalin ang bawat Pilipino. Maraming mga Bataeno ang makikinabang sa proyektong ito.”
Pampanga Vice Governor Lilia Pineda also joined the launching of the program in Bataan.
The First Lady express gratitude to the governor, citing the official’s participation and leadership in the free medical services that are seen to benefit many Bataan residents.
Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Ted Herbosa also attended the medical caravan, as well as Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Rex Gatchalian, and TESDA Director General Suharto Mangudadatu.
Herbosa said the national government is launching the LAB For All initiative in several provinces across the nation.
