MANILA, Philippines—Some public-school teachers in Manila may enjoy a free pass at the Manila Doctor’s Hospital (MDH) until October 5, as the latter wraps up its Teachers’ Month celebration.

The program, launched since September 5, offers some free medical services to teachers from MDH’s adopted schools, namely, Epifanio de los Santos Elementary School (EDSES) and Justo Lukban Elementary School.

The teachers are eligible for free hearing screenings, vision screenings, cardio-pulmonary check-ups, breast examinations and gynecological check-ups.
