Hi-Precision staff provided fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, and complete blood count (CBC) tests in the morning and consultation and evaluation of their test results in the afternoon. 

“Plan ni siya 2021 pa but since Odette came, namove. It is a way to give back to the community nga throughout the pandemic, nianhi gihapon sila sa Hi-Precision especially sa Mandaue nga branch,” Guliban said.

(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.

“We highlight unsa ka important ang affordable nga mga tests and to show that these tests are available at Hi-Precision,”
