MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. spearheaded the inauguration of the Veterans Access to Lifetime Optimize Healthcare (VALOR) Clinic at Fernando Air Base in Lipa, Batangas, on Friday. This event highlights the government’s commitment to improving medical services for former military personnel.
The newly opened VALOR Clinic is a collaborative effort involving the Department of National Defense, the Veterans Memorial Medical Center, and the Philippine Air Force. Together, they aim to expand the reach and quality of healthcare for veterans and their families.
Expanding Care Through Veterans Access to Lifetime Healthcare
This clinic is a key component of the Veterans Access to Lifetime Optimized Healthcare Program, designed to ensure veterans, retirees of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and their dependents nationwide receive consistent and enhanced medical support. The initiative ensures that those who served the country have easier access to necessary health services.
During the inauguration, President Marcos unveiled the clinic marker alongside Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro Jr. Rather than making a formal speech, Marcos engaged directly with the troops in a close-in talk, emphasizing his personal commitment to their welfare.
