“OFW Hospital, Sa Wakas Nandito Na!”

In today’s interconnected world, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) play a pivotal role in shaping not only the Philippine economy but also in enriching the lives of countless families across the globe. The sacrifices, dedication, and hard work of these modern-day heroes deserve the utmost recognition and support. To that end, we are thrilled to invite you to a webinar that promises to be a beacon of hope and a testament to the commitment of a nation to its unsung heroes.

This week on STOP COVID DEATHS, we will be shining a spotlight on the OFW Hospital and Diagnostic Center, a groundbreaking initiative situated in the heart of San Fernando, Pampanga. The OFW Hospital and Diagnostic Center represents more than just a healthcare institution; it embodies the Philippines’ unwavering dedication to the well-being of its overseas workers.

Our main speaker is Dr. Ralph Julius L. Mendoza, who serves as Medical Specialist III and OIC-Chief of Clinics of the OFW Hospital and Diagnostic Center. Our reactors are Officer-in-Charge and Undersecretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac from the Department of Migrant Workers and Dr. Karin Estepa-Garcia, who is the official Liaison Officer of the of the OFW Hospital and Diagnostic Center as well as the Chair of the UP-PGH Department of Family and Community Medicine. The Synthesis and Closing Remarks will be delivered by Dr. Stella Marie L. Jose, who is the Head of the Office of Expanded Education and Training at the UP Philippine General Hospital.

This webinar will serve as a transformative journey that celebrates the dedication and resilience of OFWs and showcases a nation’s commitment to their well-being.
