In communities where healthcare access remains a challenge, medical missions serve as vital lifelines that bring care and hope to those who need it most. These initiatives represent more than temporary relief—they embody a commitment to building healthier, more resilient communities.
On October 11, 2025, the Social and Sustainable Development Department (SSDD) of LifeBank Foundation, in partnership with the Philippine Red Cross (PRC), successfully organized a medical mission at Barangay Malabon Covered Gym in Candelaria, Zambales.
With the support of Honorable Barangay Captain Nicolas Espinosa, Jr., and the staff of Social Services Program (SSP) and Ikabuhi Microfinance Program (IMP), the medical mission was executed seamlessly.
The medical mission served a total of 532 beneficiaries across three municipalities of Zambales —Masinloc, Candelaria, and Sta. Cruz. Participants received free medical check-ups and essential health assessments. Beyond clinical care, the event featured Basic Life Support (BLS) lectures and health education sessions that equipped attendees with life-saving knowledge and wellness practices. Beneficiaries were also provided with free vitamins, basic medicines, and health supplements creating a holistic approach to community health.
The event demonstrated the shared commitment of LifeBank Foundation and the Philippine Red Cross to uplift communities through accessible healthcare, education, and responsive service—proving that when organizations collaborate, meaningful impact follows.
