CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — In a continued effort to provide accessible healthcare to its constituents, the Provincial Government of Pampanga, under the leadership of Governor Lilia “Nanay” Pineda and Vice Governor Dennis “Delta” Pineda, has expanded its Preventive Healthcare Program with the launch of a Free Dentures Program for qualified Kapampangans.
This initiative aims to assist residents who suffer from significant tooth loss and lack the financial means to obtain proper dental prosthetics. The program will provide free dentures to the first 10,000 beneficiaries across the province, and will be available until December 2025 or until all slots have been filled.
“Kung di tayo lalapitan, tayo lalapit sa kanila,” nanay remarked.
She said, identification and recruitment of beneficiaries will be conducted by the Nanay Community Workers (NCWs) assigned in each barangay. Priority will be given to individuals who are either completely edentulous or have minimal remaining teeth.
Once beneficiaries are identified and listed, they will be invited to designated dental sites for evaluation.
“Yung mga need bunutan, bubunutan natin and then susukatin at bibigyan na natin sila ng mga dentures,” said Dr. Chuchi Ramos, Provincial Dental Coordinator.
The fabrication and distribution of the dentures will be managed in coordination with the Provincial Health Office, the General Services Office, and certified dental technicians to ensure quality and safety.
Residents interested in availing of the program are encouraged to coordinate directly with their respective Nanay Community Worker (NCW) for registration and further instructions.
