Marikina opens new OSCA office with free meds, doctor for seniors

Marikina City is enhancing its services for senior citizens with the relocation of its Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) to a more spacious facility within the city health office.

The new OSCA location will feature a 'Botika ng Bayan' where senior citizens can obtain their maintenance medicines for free.

A doctor will also be available on the same floor as the relocated OSCA to provide medical attention to the elderly.

Mayor Marjorie Ann "Maan" Teodoro announced plans to establish a geriatric center in Marikina, inspired by a similar facility in Pasig City.

This geriatric center aims to offer free wellness and healthcare services specifically for the city's elderly residents.

The planned geriatric center will be situated on the first floor of the Marikina Diagnostic and Medical Arts building.
