MANILA, — The Caloocan City Medical Center (CCMC) is celebrating its 59th Founding Anniversary by providing free medical and laboratory services to residents throughout the week. This initiative aims to promote health and well-being in the community.
The CCMC will offer a range of services, including free Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) tests, ophthalmology services, electrocardiograms (ECG), pap smears, and minor surgeries. Additionally, attendees can receive free reading glasses, snacks, and vitamins as part of the celebration.
City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan expressed his gratitude to the CCMC for its decades-long commitment to delivering quality health services to Caloocan residents. He encouraged constituents to take part in the anniversary activities and benefit from the services provided.
“Malugod ko pong binabati ang lahat ng bumubuo sa CCMC para sa kanilang 59th Anniversary! Kasama po ang lahat ng Batang Kankaloo, nagpapasalamat po kami sa inyong lahat dahil sa dekada ng inyong pagtulong sa pamahalaang lungsod na magbigay ng libre at de-kalidad na serbisyong pangkalusugan,” Mayor Along said.
(Congratulations to all who make up CCMC for their 59th Anniversary! Together with all the Batang Kankaloo, we thank you all for the decade of helping the city government to provide free and quality health services.)
He further urged residents to take advantage of the activities and services offered during the celebration, emphasizing the importance of health for families.
“Sa lahat po ng mga Batang Kankaloo, samantalahin po natin ang mga aktibidad at serbisyong ibibigay ng CCMC upang mas matutukan pa ang kalusugan ninyo at ng inyong pamilya,” he added.

Mayor Along also highlighted his administration’s commitment to prioritizing the medical needs of the public while ensuring the welfare of city health workers.
“Hinding-hindi lang po natin tinututukan ang kapakanan ng ating mga kababayan pagdating sa kalusugan. Batid ko po ang ambag ng ating mga doktor, nurse, at iba pang health workers sa ating mga programa kaya patuloy din nating titiyakin na matatanggap nila ang tamang pagkilala at sapat na benepisyo para sa lahat ng kanilang ginagawa,” he declared.
(We never only focus on the welfare of our countrymen when it comes to health. I am aware of the contribution of our doctors, nurses, and other health workers to our programs, so we will continue to ensure that they receive proper recognition and adequate benefits for all that they do.)
The CCMC’s week-long celebration is not only a testament to its dedication to community health but also an opportunity for residents to engage with health services that can improve their well-being. (JCO/PIA-NCR)
