(We have planned this medical mission in 2021 yet but since Typhoon Odette came, we had to move it to a later date. This is a way to give back to the community that had been part of Hi-Precision, especially the Mandaue branch, throughout the pandemic.)
Guliban said early detection is very crucial in the proper management of a patient’s health condition. This would also prevent any sickness from getting worse.
