Christmas cheer reverberated through the community of Purok 8 Armal Village, Taytay Rizal on December 22nd, 2023, not just because of the festive season, but thanks to the annual Gold Fortune Textile Medical Mission. This GFT Medical Mission is a heartwarming tradition, held every year since 2022 by Gold Fortune Textile as a testament to the Sy family’s legacy of going beyond the realm of fabric production to weaving a tapestry of care and support for those in need.
At the heart of this initiative lies the deep understanding that good health forms the foundation for a thriving community. Led now by Torchbearer Enrico Sy, son of the visionary trailblazer Hellen Sy, this mission carries forward Gold Fortune Textile’s 30-year legacy of giving back to the community through impactful initiatives that began with empowering local seamstresses of Taytay and echoed into services like these medical missions.
“At Gold Fortune Textile, our mission is to assist Filipinos every year. We strive to provide free medical assistance for everyone, shared Enrico Sy. These medical missions are a way for us to honor her legacy and ensure that everyone has access to the basic healthcare they deserve”
During this year’s mission, residents received a range of essential services, including:
Consultations with medical professionals: From general checkups to specialized consultations, residents had access to dedicated doctors and nurses, ensuring their health concerns were addressed with expertise and care.
Pharmacy services: Medications prescribed during consultations were provided free of charge, eliminating the financial burden for many and ensuring immediate access to vital treatment.
Dental checkups and cleaning: Maintaining oral health is crucial, and the mission offered residents comprehensive dental care, promoting healthy smiles and well-being.
Community education sessions: Raising awareness about preventive measures and healthy habits is equally important. The mission included informative sessions on various health topics, empowering residents to take charge of their own well-being.
GFT Medical Mission goals for these missions are simple yet profound: to address immediate medical concerns through consultations and medicines, promote healthier communities through preventive education and infrastructure improvements, and encourage residents through positive interactions and a sense of community involvement. Every consultation, every medication dispensed, and every smile restored inspire hope for a larger vision of a society where access to healthcare is not a privilege, but a right.
Looking ahead, the Year 2024 holds even brighter promises. GFT Foundation remains steadfast
in its commitment to providing healthcare access through its GFT Medical Missions. With an unwavering focus on improving lives, reaching wider communities, and expanding the scope of services offered, Gold Fortune Textile’s dedication to community well-being is sure to continue brightening the tapestry of the Philippines, one stitch at a time.
‘This year’s GFT Medical Mission is just one example of the Sy family’s commitment to giving back. Through the GFT Foundation, they have supported various social development initiatives. Hellen Sy’s legacy of compassion and gratitude continues to inspire future generations to make a positive impact on the world. By weaving together a legacy of care and a vision for a healthier future, Gold Fortune Textile and the Sy family are ensuring that the threads of community and well-being are forever intertwined.
