SIFI continues to reconnect with the sugar workers and dependents from far-flung communities by providing quality health services. In September alone, 6 medical-dental missions were held in various areas in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Almost two thousand beneficiaries were reached by the SIFI Health Pillar since July. These medical-dental mission rollouts were made possible with SIFI’s supportive and generous partner mills and planters’ associations.
