A TOTAL of 100 participants will be eligible for a wide range of free health services as the Department of Health (DOH) 7 Center for Health Development (CHD) holds its “Regalo sa Kahimsog Serbisyo Fair” on Friday, Dec. 12, 2025.
The event running from 8 a.m. to 12 noon will offer services such as blood chemistry screening, chest X-rays, family planning assistance, health education and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) counseling and testing.
The event will also offer free medical consultations, psychosocial support, mobile blood donation, nutrition counseling and medicines.
DOH 7 Director Joshua Brillantes said the activity reflects the agency’s commitment to compassion and public service following the magnitude 6.9 earthquake and typhoons that affected the region.
“Karong panahon sa Pasko (in this time of Christmas), we want our people to feel that they are not alone in their health journey,” Brillantes said.
“We are bringing essential health services closer to our communities and reminding everyone that good health remains one of the most meaningful gifts we can share, especially in times of recovery,” he added.
Interested individuals must pre-register via bit.ly/REGISTERRSK2025 to secure one of the limited slots.
The initiative is part of DOH 7’s 2025 Year-End Program Implementation Review and aims to bring essential medical services closer to communities this Christmas season.
The program will also recognize healthcare workers, partners and responders for their dedicated service during the earthquake that struck northern Cebu and typhoon Tino. / DPC
