establishing one pharmacy in every community, one step at a time,”
said BotiCARD President Ms. Rosenda Aquino.

essentials. While promoting the use of generic medicines is a
primary goal, branded medicines are also available.

community health and wellness, BotiCARD offered free medical
check-ups, massage, tooth extraction, and freebies like a 28%
discount to those who attended the branch opening.
“The branch opening
represents a significant milestone, showcasing CARD MRI’s role as
more than just a microfinance institution. It highlights the
organization’s broader mission to combat poverty through a variety
of accessible products and services that more people can afford,”
Aquino explained.
