MANILA, Philippines — Free medical services are available for senior citizens at the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center this week.

JRRMMC medical center chief Dr. Wenceslao Llauderes said they are offering free medical services to the elderly as part of National Hospital Week.

“It is our way of giving back to the community and honoring the invaluable contributions of elderly Filipinos,” Llauderes said.
