EXPLAINER: DMW’s free health screening: Who can join, what to bring

The Migrant Workers Health Summit 2026, organized by the Department of Migrant Workers, offers free health services and consultations for current and former overseas Filipino workers and their families from June 30 to July 1 in Quezon City. This initiative is crucial as it aims to address the often-overlooked health needs of OFWs who face unique challenges away from home. By providing free screenings, the summit seeks to ensure that these workers receive necessary medical care and support, highlighting the government's commitment to their well-being.
