PagKalMa Activities
Pagkalinga para sa Kalusugan ng Mamamayan (PagKalMa) is the socio-civic arm of the Phi Lambda Delta Sorority and the Phi Kappa Mu Fraternity and is the vehicle through which the members use the skills and knowledge acquired in medical school for the benefit of the underserved. It is a venue for the continual education of the residents outside the classroom. It is where the resident sisses learn from the patients and develop the character that will ultimately mold the sisses into well-rounded, respectable and trustworthy doctors.Â
The PagKalMa was founded in early 1979 as a response to the growing desire of the members of the sorority and the fraternity to reach out to those in need. Since then, the brods and sisses have organized various projects under PagKalMa, coordinating with barangay captains from different communities, and visiting the barrios in the weekends. Today, the tradition of service continues with the numerous medical and summer surgical missions undertaken within the Philippines.

Medical-Dental-Surgical Mission        .
The sorority frequently sponsors free medical (check-up), surgical (circumcision), and dental (check-up and tooth extraction) services for the underserved at various regions in the country. Medical students also benefit from these experiences as they are able to witness true community-oriented medicine in action.
