Meanwhile, the ACF IV-A team presented an intermission performance and shared updates on the TB situation in Batangas, highlighting ongoing efforts and milestones.
The celebration also featured a collaborative medical mission with our partners from the University of Batangas and Batangas City Health Office, where health teams and medical-related students provided screening, consultation, TB education, and distribution of preventive medicines and materials to the community.
