The event was attended by some 80 participants including parents, faculty teachers and school administrators of Philippine schools in Dubai, and media practitioners.
It was organized to need for the overseas Filipino community to understand current health concerns and issues, how these affect the society, and how health awareness forums could allow a community find solutions to address these concerns. (Dubai PCG photo)
