CMM 2002 MIAGAO, ILOILO
The
medical mission to Miagao, Iloilo was a wonderful success.
The
five day joint mission served nearly five thousand patients.
The medical, dental, and surgical teams were busy providing
the highest quality of healthcare. The preparation and organization
by the local coordinators was outstanding. This year's group
was a perfect blend of young and old.
Under
the leadership of coordinators Adiodato Palmos; Rosario
Ocampo and Lirio Palmos, M.D. and the invaluable assistance
of the Palmos Clan; Mayor Jerry Flores and his staff; Rural
Health Officer Anthony Montalban, M.D.; P. Trono (Guimbal)
District Hospital Chief Antonio Garibay, M.D. & staff,
the Miagao Nurses Association, Sprint and numerous local
civic organizations, the Miagao mission was very successful.
During
the five-day mission, several thousand patients from 30+
barangays received free medical/dental/surgical/cataract
services and prescribed medicine & vitamins. Mr. Adiodato
Palmos presented a brief report on the result of the joint
effort and the estimated value he various multi-specialty
services.
May
God bless each and everyone who reached out with compassion,
providing the needed medical assistance with great compassion
and respect for the dignity of each and every patient touched.
