In time for World Diabetes Day on November 14, Unilab Inc., a leading and trusted pharmaceutical and healthcare company in the Philippines, launched its Alagang Unilab Health and Wellness Fair in three municipalities in Pampanga—Mabalacat, San Fernando and Porac.
The fair aims to provide medical services to Pampanga residents with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like hypertension and diabetes.
Unilab partnered with the Municipal Health Offices in the three local government units (LGUs) to hold the event, and got support from the LGU’s local chief executives.
Initial estimates showed an average of 500 participants attended the health fair per event who received basic medical services, including blood pressure checks, glucose level monitoring, eye check-up, bone scanning and nerve checking.
The highlight of the fair is the interactive lecture that aims to raise awareness of hypertension and diabetes. This session provided attendees with valuable insights into managing their conditions, understanding their medications, and making healthier food and lifestyle choices.
The participants were also encouraged to engage with various game booths and informational stations, which offered a more interactive and engaging way to learn about preventive health measures.
