More than 2,000 participants joined the 14th Walk for Non-Communicable Disease (NCD) Awareness organized by Mercury Drug Foundation, Inc. on May 17 at The District North Point in Talisay City, Negros Occidental.
The annual activity aims to promote healthier lifestyles and strengthen public awareness on non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and chronic respiratory illnesses.
The event marked the first time the nationwide advocacy walk was held in Bacolod and Negros Occidental since the program started in 2012.
MDFI Executive Director Annie Fuentes said the initiative forms part of the foundation’s Bantay Kalusugan Program, which focuses on health education, disease prevention, and wellness promotion in communities across the country.
