MMDA field workers get free TB screening
(Photo from MMDA) MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos said the initiative aims to identify those with cases of TB and provide them full treatment until recovery. “We want to ensure the well-being of our field personnel, who are also our frontline workers. It is our way of extending help to them as they perform their duty while risking their health,” Abalos said. USAID’s TB Platform Active Case Finding Team will use a mobile X-ray van to be parked outside the agency’s headquarters in Makati City to conduct the free TB screening and chest X-ray to all its 2,500 field workers.
