Medical Mission - A service to humanity
It is so fulfilling to conduct our first medical mission this year. Our Local goverment unit initiated the Agew Na Panaglingkor Para’d Kabarangayan 2018, (”Day of Service to the People 2018”) known as Barangayan 2018. Barangayan is a yearlong activity, launched last week, to be held every Wednesday in a particular barangay. This aims to provide municipal services that include health, disaster prevention, legal services, grooming, animal vaccination etc, in the barangay. Its principal objective is to bring the local government to the people especially the underserved population.
One of the major activities then is the medical-dental mission that is held with the combined efforts of physicians, dentist, opthalmologist, nurses, medtechs and other trained health workers. Last week, around 300 patients were given free medical examination, immunization both for children and elderly, medicines, dental services, and reading glasses. Information dissemination on family planning, anti-rabies, communicable diseases and immunization was conducted.
Being one of the nurses in the field, it feels so great when people are very eager to cooperate with the activity. They didn’t even bother the scorching heat of the sun. It only tells us that people nowadays are being more conscious when it comes to their health. And we, both from LGU and DOH, are motivated on providing quality services to the people - our ”bosses” in the community.
It is a very tiring activity yet a fulfilling experience!!
