RLove's RGift of Health Brings Free Medical Services in Las Piñas

May 31, 2024 – The local government unit of Brgy. Talon Uno Las Piñas reached out to RLove to seek support for their constituents who need basic healthcare but lack financial resources. To address this need, RLove, in partnership with Brgy. Talon Uno, Robinsons Retail Holding's Southstar Drug and Robinsons Las Piñas, brings R Gift of Health (RGOH) Medical Mission to the locality, sharing the gift of free medical services to the members of the community that need the free services the most. 

Held at the Brgy. Talon Uno Covered Court, the medical mission gathered 200 participants with a demographic profile that mostly consists of senior citizens, women and youth. These participants received vouchers that entitled them to a battery of medical services that includes screenings, consultations and provisions of over-the-counter and prescription drugs. 

Medical Mission Offerings 

RGift of Health offers free screenings such as Blood Pressure monitoring, Fasting Blood Sugar, and Cholesterol/ Lipid profiling, among others. The results of these screenings are sent to the volunteer doctors for the medical consultation that generate prescriptions for each patient’s unique condition.  

Patient beneficiaries then use these prescriptions along with their vouchers to avail of free medicine/ drugs worth PHP 500 from Southstar Drug’s mini pharmacy. Beyond the subsidized amount, patients may purchase much needed prescription medicine at special rates, subject to the pharmacy’s available promotions and inventory. 

During the event patients participated in the promotional activities by partner pharma brands at the venue, and took home merchandise and more vitamins and supplements, free-of-charge. Some participants also posed to have their photos taken at the RGOH photo booth, which captured their joyful moments during their RGift of Health medical mission experience. 

RLove volunteers  

Contributing to the effort, Robinsons Las Piñas employee volunteers, led by Mall Operations Manager Wilson Ong, assisted in the operations by distributing meals and refreshments to the volunteer staff, medical professionals and doctors. 

R Gift of Health is RLove’s Medical Mission Program that provides medical services, such as screenings & consultations, and medicines; closer to communities that need them the most. 
 
RLove believes that good health is vital in order to have a good quality of life.
