CEBU, Philippines – In celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, Hi-Precision Diagnostics-Cebu launched its "Give Back to Cebu" campaign by offering free healthcare to the rural, poverty-stricken communities that need such services the most. Partnering with the Cebu Governor's office, Hi-Precision conducted free blood testing and doctors' consultation, and gave medicines in Minglanilla on June 26 and in Dalaguete on June 30.
According to Provincial Office Coordinator Joel Pineda, the medical mission in the two towns was a "great help," because patients who couldn't afford medical services had availed of the free consultation and medicines. The beneficiaries were the less fortunate in the areas. Other services were also provided, including dental care by the Provincial Health Office, haircuts by members of the Philippine Navy and Salon De Rose hairstylists, and free snacks for the patients. Cebu Provincial Government, particularly Vice-Governor Agnes Magpale, Minglanilla Barangay Poblacion Captain Annabelle Simene and Dalaguete Barangay Coro Captain Maricel Dian were also instrumental in the success of the outreach activities.
Following Minglanilla and Dalaguete, Hi-Precision Diagnostics plans to do more medical missions in the province and bring newer, better services to its patients. The company's new services include HPD+, a new and separate area in the corporate branch on J. Llorente Street for patients wanting more specialized services, and the just-released Hi-Precision App, which allows patients to get health information and get their test results through their smartphones, tablets or computers. More information on Hi-Precision Diagnostics' range of services is available at www.hi-precision.com.ph. The contact numbers are 256-0151 to 54.
