On August 28, 2025, Amai Pakpak Medical Center and Wao District Hospital came together for a one-day OB-GYN Community Service with the theme “Alaga sa Kababaihan, Kalusugan sa Kinabukasan”—a meaningful initiative that brought hope, care, and compassion to the women of Wao and nearby municipalities. In just a single day, 241 patients received free and essential healthcare services—2 TAHBSO, 41 pap smears, 37 VIA tests, 70 ultrasounds, and 91 consultations—giving women access to care that is vital for their health and well-being. The event opened with a short yet heartfelt program where patients warmly welcomed the doctors from the APMC OB-GYN Department, alongside the dedicated WDH doctors, nurses, and staff whose teamwork and compassion ensured that every patient felt supported and cared for.
Women’s health is community health. When women have access to proper reproductive and maternal care, they are empowered to safeguard their well-being, support their families, and strengthen future generations. Every test, every consultation, and every smile of relief from our patients reflects the importance of prioritizing women’s health—not only for today, but for a healthier tomorrow.
This milestone was made possible through the inspiring leadership of Dr. Asnawi R. Dalidig, Chief of Hospital II of Wao District Hospital, Dr. Shalimar Sani-Rakiin, Medical Center Chief II of Amai Pakpak Medical Center, and Dr. Rasnaifah Batugan-Pundaton, Chairman of the APMC OB-GYN Department, together with the entire APMC OB-GYN team. Equal gratitude is extended to the WDH doctors, nurses, and staff whose hard work and commitment were vital in ensuring the success of this community service. Their dedication and compassion transformed this activity into not just an event, but a true celebration of unity, service, and women’s health.
Through this collaboration, APMC and WDH once again proved that when institutions work together, they can create lasting change in people’s lives. This effort is more than just numbers—it represents every woman who walked away with peace of mind, every patient who felt seen and cared for, and every family given hope for a healthier future. Truly, investing in women’s health means investing in stronger families, brighter futures, and healthier communities. And this is only the beginning—together, we will continue to bring healthcare closer to every home.
