ShareCheap FBS Blood Sugar Testing and ECG Exam
Posted by mhel in about marikina, general, health and fitness on February 19th, 2010
Since I was advised by a doctor to undergo laboratory examinations such as fasting blood sugar or FBS testing and ECG examination, I called up the Marikina City Health Office this morning. The lab testings will determine the potentiality of health issues such as occurrence of diabetes or heart disease. Since lab tests are usually expensive, I am looking for cheap alternatives so I inquired about the services of the health office of Marikina which I believe is way cheaper.
If you are also looking for such information, take note of their schedule and rates:
For FBS or fasting blood sugar: Monday to Friday, 8 to 9AM. Rate is P100.00, 20% discount is given to senior citizens. Note that you have to undergo fasting before the testing, no water and food intake from 9:00PM the night before until the next morning for the FBS. For more inquiries, call Marikina CHO Laboratory at 942-0831.
