ANGELES CITY, Pampanga—The Angeles City Government, under Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr., launched free pap smear, breast examination, and HIV testing services for indigent women as part of the Women’s Month celebration.
The campaign began on March 6, 2025, at the Rural Health Unit IV, catering to residents from Barangays Balibago, Margot, Sapangbato, and Amsic. The initiative, led by the Gender and Development Office and the City Health Office, aims to serve 600 women across the city’s 33 barangays.
Mayor Lazatin reaffirmed his commitment to accessible healthcare, saying, “Patuloy ang pangako ko sa inyo na ang serbisyong medikal sa ilalim ng aking administrasyon ay literal na dadalhin ko sa inyong mga pintuan.”
The Lazatin administration has consistently provided free women’s health services since the mayor took office, reinforcing its dedication to women’s health and well-being.
