Accessibility is guaranteed regardless of location or socioeconomic background as a result of availability of services at certain public and private health facilities across the country.

The goal of this campaign is to assist in the early detection of any health problems so that they can be promptly treated and managed, which will lower the prevalence of illnesses and enhance general health outcomes.

It seeks to prolong life expectancy and hasten the attainment of universal health coverage by preventing serious illnesses, lowering healthcare expenses, and enhancing quality of life.
