Provide primary health care for street children

On June 7, 2025, the Asian Medical Students’ Association – University of the East Ramon Magsaysay (AMSA-UERM), in collaboration with Childhope Philippines, held a Klinikalye medical mission that served 100 children in street situations. The activity aimed to deliver free and accessible healthcare services—including medical consultations, basic medicines, and essential vitamins—to help address immediate health concerns and promote preventive care among underserved children. This initiative forms part of Klinikalye, Childhope’s mobile health program that brings medical attention directly to the streets where children are most at risk.

AMSA-UERM medical student volunteers played a vital role in the implementation. They managed registration, supported physicians during health assessments, and ensured each child received attentive and organized care. Their professionalism and active participation ensured that the activity ran smoothly and met medical standards. In addition to the healthcare services, simple recreational activities such as coloring and drawing were offered to create a safe, calming, and child-friendly space for the young beneficiaries.

Through this collaboration, Klinikalye demonstrated a holistic approach to community health—one that responds not only to the physical well-being of children but also to their emotional and psychological needs. The program underscores the importance of early health interventions in the lives of children in street situations and highlights how multisectoral partnerships can meaningfully address urban health disparities.

Childhope Philippines continues to appeal for support and assistance from individuals, corporations, and organizations to sustain and expand Klinikalye and other life-changing programs. With your help, more children can receive the health care, protection, and hope they deserve. Let us work together to create safer, healthier, and more inclusive communities for street children.
