Watsons held its first ‘Alagang Pangkalusugan’ medical mission for 2023 last April 13 in partnership with SM Foundation at the Centennial Arena in Laoag, Ilocos Norte. The medical mission aimed to provide free medical services to Laoag residents and promote the importance of health and wellness.
Watsons is very happy to bring ‘Alagang Pangkalusugan” medical mission to Laoag to help those who have little or no access to medical consultations and services. This is part of our sustainability program’s commitment under the community pillar.
