MANILA — Aimed at providing essential medical services to distressed communities throughout the country, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has praised his wife First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos for continuing the “Lab for All” caravans.
In his latest vlog, the President said the First Lady’s brainchild “Lab for All” caravan project provides free consultation, X-ray, laboratory services, and medicines to the less fortunate in far-flung provinces who cannot afford to undergo medical checkups.
“It’s a very, very good project,” Marcos Jr. said.
It can be recalled that on May 16 last year, the First Lady LAM (monicker for Liza Araneta-Marcos) launched the “Libreng Laboratory, Konsulta, at Gamot Para sa Lahat” or LAB for ALL caravan at the Dreamzone Capitol in Batangas.
Araneta-Marcos said the “Lab for All” caravans are held every Tuesday in various provinces to provide free medical services from government agencies such as the Department of Health (DOH) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
“But, really, galing, galing nila. They put a lot of their time and effort into helping senior citizens get medical services and all that. It’s nakakataba ng puso because some are wearing crutches,” the First Lady noted.
FL LAM’s initiative has been praised for its dedication to helping those in need, especially senior citizens, highlighting the significant effort and time invested in making healthcare accessible.
