Kidney screening program reaches thousands in Quezon City
Quezon City and Boehringer Ingelheim have launched a citywide screening program to detect chronic kidney disease early. The initiative aims to address the high prevalence of undiagnosed kidney issues among the Filipino population.
Why it matters
Early detection programs are critical for public health, especially for conditions like CKD that often remain asymptomatic until advanced stages.
