Butuan City- Last October 1, 2016, the National government agencies in the region, namely: DOH, DSWD, Philhealth, NNC, OSCA with Butuan City Health Office conducted the "Walk for Life" at Almont Inland Resort with the theme: "Pagmamahal at Respeto ng Nakababata, Nagpapaligaya sa Nakatatanda".
With over 2,500 Senior Citizens who attended the event, varied health services were given such as: Nutritional Assessment by NNC; FBS, Blood Glucose and Uric Acid Testing and vaccination by DOH Caraga. Meanwhile, Philhealth services include updating of records of members.
The program started with a zumba exercise since it was raining hard. This was followed by the messages of partner agencies and orientation/updates on the wide-ranging services for the said sector. The activity was directed to reiterate the role of Senior Citizens in nation-building and at the same time an inspiration to the current generation.
