Towards a healthier and productive workforce, the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) Medical Unit conducted a blood testing activity for the staff of the agency on July 1, 2018 at its Central Management Office (CMO) in Cotabato City.

According to Nazneen Biruar-Piang, focal person of BDA medical unit, the activity is intended to promote health consciousness among staff.

“Through this activity, we can help our colleagues check their health status which are often neglected due to workloads at the office.

She added “it is a common practice of many to seek for medical consultation only when they feel ill or as required. But ideally, one should have regular check-up to see his/her health condition so that it can be prevented earlier”.

Piang reported that there were twenty (20) staff who participated during the first leg of this program.

She disclosed that their team is looking forward for the regular conduct of this similar initiative every first Sunday of the month.
