GENERAL SANTOS CITY (24 March 2015) – Employees of City Hall have undergone their annual medical-physical examination which started last week as part of the wellness program.
City Mayor Ronnel Rivera earlier upgraded the health and wellness benefits of city employees with the aim of keeping a healthy workforce that can better serve the people.
According to the mayor, the physical well-being of employees has a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the delivery of public service.
The mandatory tests included blood collection, taking of vital signs, optical exams, chest X-ray, urine and stool exams, and exclusive male and female check-ups.
“All are required to undergo medical-physical examination except those who have already undergone chest X-ray in the past three months,” said Marlene Pelayo of the Human Resources Management and Development Office.
The activity is part of the commitment by Philippine British Assurance Company, Inc. (PBACI) as the chosen health insurance company of the city.
PBACI brought its own teams of medical technologists along with four doctors and four nurses to handle the entire duration of the examinations.
This year’s medical-physical tests will address the health concerns of about 1,377 employees.
The examination results will be the basis for health and wellness interventions as advised by physicians and experts. The interventions include free additional consultation and medicine. (Gensan CPIO/Sharmagne Villacastin)
