Free kidney disease screening

Free kidney disease screening

Health experts on Thursday urged the public to take advantage of free screening services to prevent Chronic Kidney Disease in line with the celebration of World Kidney Day. AstraZeneca, Mercury Drug, and Diabetes Philippines announced the expansion of their free screening program, which was launched in January this year. The free services include blood pressure, random blood sugar, body mass index, and urine albumin-creatinine ratio screening. Doctors are present at the screening sites every Sunday. Dr. Rey Rosales, treasurer of Diabetes Philippines, emphasized the importance of early screening. He explained the correlation between kidney health and heart health. The free screenings are available at select Mercury Drug branches, including Trinoma, Shangri-La Plaza, Pavilion Mall, and Noveleta, Cavite.
