Representatives from the St. Luke's Medical Center on Wednesday paid a courtesy call on Philippine Army (PA) chief, Lt. Gen. Macairog S. Alberto, in line with efforts to provide world-class medical expertise for soldiers and their dependents.
The PA chief welcomed the initiative of the medical institution, through its president and chief executive officer, Arturo S. Dela Peña, which aims to extend affordable eye care and other medical services to the Army.
“A world-class Army deserves world-class health expertise,” the Saint Luke's official said.
Dela Peña also recognized the role of soldiers in providing security and the importance of good health in performing their duty.
He further recalled that during the Marawi siege, some soldiers relied on their services to treat severe injuries they suffered in the field.
“The partnership will complement the special medical needs of our soldiers. This also supports our advocacy to promote good health and fitness among our soldiers and families,” Alberto said.
