    ​    The Tan Yan Kee Foundation, Inc. in partnership with different organizations sent a medical mission to Barangay Digdig, Carranglan, Nueva Ecija for the benefit of the farmers and workers of the Legacy Forest Project and their families.

        A recent profiling by the TYKFI showed that most of the farmers and their family members suffer from hypertension, blurry vision, body pain, breathing difficulties, stomach pain, and dizziness.
        Thirty volunteers from St. Luke’s Medical Center and Sagip Bayan Foundation, Inc. extended free consultation to the farmers and their relatives for their medical concerns in primary care, dental health, and eye care.
        Simultaneous with the medical consultations, volunteers from the Nutrition Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (NFP) conducted lectures on basic nutritional guidelines entitled Wastong Pagkain at Nutrisyon ng Buong Pamilya and maternal and child care nutrition entitled Tamang Nutrisyon Para Kay Nanay at Baby.
        To supplement the general knowledge provided during the lectures, one-on-one consultations on nutritional wellness were also  conducted by the three nutritionist-dietician volunteers. During the consultation, patients received nutrition counseling based on the diagnosis of the doctors during the check-up. Diet management plans and infographics on various illnesses were also given to concerned patients.
        It was heartwarming to see more than 150 patients who actually came prepared for the medical check-ups. They were made aware of their current medical conditions and received free medicines and vitamins.
        To further promote proper health care and wellness among the workers and their families, the Foundation distributed Tan Yan Kee eco-bags each of which contained two kilograms of red rice, ladle, Vitamilk, and yoghurt. 
        The TYKFI staff and workers also received informative materials like the National Nutrition Council (NNC) cookbook entitled Mga Lutuing Gulay Simple, Mura at Masustansiya Araw-Arawin,  child development materials entitled First 1000 Days ni Baby Pahalagahan para sa Malusog na Kinabukasan,  nutritional guidelines called 10 Kumainments and a brochure entitled Mga Sakit ay Iwasan, Wastong Nutrisyon ang Kailangan.
