OPEN DIA-Care Community Clinics – under this program, we will conduct Free Diabetes
Awareness/Detection/Screening Camps/Medical Checkups/Medicine Distribution/Follow-up treatments

The purpose of the camp is to create awareness on the importance of early diabetes detection and
timely screening. The objective of this program is providing effective promotion, prevention and control
strategies to provide for an integrated action plan for Diabetes and Hypertension.

The program activities have been grouped into the following three main components:

1). Health Promotion for general population.

2). Disease Prevention for the high risk.
3). Assessment of Prevalence of risk factors.

This program will be jointly owned by the Sponsoring Company, OPEN and the Community. All three
entities will work hand in hand for the basic objective of improving the health of the general public.
Once the program is approved, the area of operation will be selected in consultation with the
Sponsoring Company. A team consisting of a representative from the sponsoring company, one
