Culion Foundation, Inc. (CFI), in strong partnership with the Mandaluyong City Health Office and DSWD NCR – Jose Fabella Centerโ€”and with the unwavering support of the Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP)โ€”successfully conducted a free chest X-ray screening under its TB-Active Case Finding (ACF) initiative in NCR.
A total of 207 residents and staff were screened, ensuring that even the most vulnerable are not left behind in the fight against tuberculosis. The activity was also featured in a DSWD NCR blog post, where the agency shared its satisfaction with the quality and compassion of services delivered by CFI and PBSP. This joint effort reflects the power of collaboration in advancing accessible and inclusive health care for all.
