The United Filipino Organization and the Philippines’ Overseas Workers Welfare Administration on Saipan disclosed launching a health-screening program as part of efforts to curb the rising incidence of diabetes among Filipinos in the CNMI.

UFO president Nel Atalig said the health-screening project would involve free glucose count and blood pressure tests.

Volunteers from the Commonwealth Health Center would perform the tests, she said.

Atalig said the event would be regularly conducted from 9am to 12 noon every last Sunday of the month.

The project was to kick off yesterday at the Nauru Building in Susupe, where the Philippine consulate offices are housed.
