These include the Laboratory, Diagnostic Radio Imaging, Cardiovascular and Neurology Unit, and a Pharmacy. A 50-percent discount on all laboratory tests will be available today

The MDMRC also has free screening on Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) / Random Blood Sugar (RBS) for the first 50 patients; and also cholesterol screening for the first 50 patients. A multidisciplinary hospital like no other, it will offer a myriad of health services to Dabawenyos and healthconscious citizens of neighboring cities and
