Medical services under the Guiconsulta program are no longer limited to provincial hospitals, municipal offices, and barangays in Pangasinan.

These services have now reached public schools.

On November 19, the program, led by Governor Ramon V. Guico III, visited five schools in Mapandan.

Thousands of Pangasinenses received free medical consultations, medicines, haircuts, and snacks provided by the Guicosina on Wheels.

Among those who eagerly lined up was Nanay Rosie, who suffers from hypertension and high cholesterol levels.

“Sometimes, I can’t go because I don’t have money for transportation. This is a big help for us since we don’t have to spend money on transportation or hospital checkups. Thank you so much to Guiconsulta for this service,” said Rosie Razo, a resident.

The Guiconsulta program, spearheaded by Governor Guico III, aims to make Pangasinan the healthiest province in the country.

According to Governor Ramon V. Guico III, “This program ensures that PhilHealth consultations and yearly checkups are free. During the last Guiconsulta, transportation and food were also provided.”

The provincial government was supported by First Spouses League of Pangasinan Chairperson Maan Tuazon-Guico, Vice Governor Mark Ronald Lambino, Board Members Shiela Baniqued and Vici Ventanilla, Mayor Karl Christian Vega, and barangay officials of Mapandan.
