SM leads first medical mission in areas hit by Taal eruption

MANILA, Philippines — Displaced families by the recent Taal volcano eruption were given immediate medical assistance through SM’s three-day Oplan Tulong Express. The first medical mission held for affected communities takes place until January 19 at Batangas and Lipa.

“We understand the health risk brought by the recent eruption especially in areas within the danger zone,” said SM Supermalls COO Steven Tan. “With this, we have mobilized this medical mission and we will continue to bring relief and medical assistance in places where we are much needed.”

The three-day Operation Tulong Express medical mission can serve up to 1,200 medical cases a day and will deploy two mobile clinics with health services and facilities such as x-ray, ECG, nebulizers and oxygen. Since electricity has not yet resumed, generators will be utilized during the medical mission.

Oplan Tulong Express mobile clinic trucks line up early in the morning as SM holds medical mission for communities affected by the Taal volcano eruption.
