MANILA, 30 April 2024 – Okada Manila, in a significant community outreach effort, partnered with the Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary 107th Squadron to conduct a comprehensive Medical and Dental Mission in Talim Island, Barangay Subay, Cardona Rizal on April 20, 2024. The mission successfully provided essential health services to 648 residents, addressing a critical need for medical care in this remote community.

The day-long event offered a range of services including medical consultations, surgical operations such as circumcision, dental extractions and treatments, optical check-ups with the distribution of free reading glasses, and a supply of medicines. These services were made accessible to the island's residents, who face challenges in reaching traditional medical facilities due to their geographical isolation.
