The GMA Kapuso Foundation recently delivered crucial health services to 1,000 students in Northern Cebu, focusing on dental care and lice treatment.
Health Initiative in Cebu Schools
If you leave even just one lice, it will come back. As much as possible, you should wash it every day.
Dr. Grace Beltran, Dermatologist
This initiative was part of the Linis Lusog Kapusong Kabataan project, launched in collaboration with the Philippine Association of Private School Dentists Inc. (PAPSDI). The event coincided with the inauguration of new Kapuso classrooms across three local schools.
- Students received anti-lice shampoo to eliminate infestations.
- Free dental services included tooth extractions and fluoride treatments.
PAPSDI president Dr. Mary Anne Celebre emphasized the importance of preventive dental care, particularly for children who may not regularly visit a dentist.
The program also educated students on proper hygiene practices, including how to brush their teeth effectively and wash their hands.
To support ongoing initiatives by the GMA Kapuso Foundation, donations can be made through various banks and digital platforms. More details are available on the foundation's official website.
