Manila-based doctors to hold medical mission
Mayor Leocadio C. de Vera Jr. said yesterday that a group of Manila-based doctors will conduct a medical mission to treat tuberculosis here.
De Vera disclosed this at the Manila Bay Breakfast Club where he was the guest speaker on February 18 at the Casino Español in Ermita, Manila.
The medical mission will be conducted for free by a group of doctors led by Dr. Buenavida A. Crisanto, an active member of the Philippine Coalition Against Tuberculosis (PCAT).
De Vera thanked Crisanto for pledging to conduct the medical mission that will benefit his constituents. "We welcome the group led by Crisanto. I believe their mission here will be successful."
He said that providing a preventive health program, which promotes good nutrition, cleanliness, and sanitation, particularly on solid waste management, is one of his top concerns for the welfare of his constituents, thus, medical missions are regularly scheduled in the 77 barangays of this municipality.
To help the medical missions where dental services are a part of, De Vera said he has ordered the municipal health office here to disseminate proper information on the prevention of illnesses and common health disorders.
De Vera said medicines are given free to all patients during medical missions. Money used to pay for these come from De Vera and donations. (March 4, 2005)
