150 indigent patients treated in military medical mission

From the Philippine News Agency (Jul 12): 150 indigent patients treated in military medical mission

At least 150 indigent patients benefited from a medical mission of the 302nd Infantry Brigade with the assistance of the Department of Health (DOH) and Zamboaguita local government unit (LGU) early this week.

The mission is in line with the military's community development efforts.

Belated reports from Capt. Cresencio Gargar, 302nd Infantry Brigade spokesperson, said the medical and dental mission was conducted at the Calango Elementary School, Barangay Calango, Zamboaguita on Tuesday.

Gargar said that this community development mission was themed “Gutom at Malnutrisyon, Sama-sama Nating Wakasan.”

The indigent residents provided with free dental and medical services were from Barangay Calango.

“The military’s participation in the Medical Committee Development Mission MEDCAP in partnership with various stakeholders is part of our continuing efforts in delivering basic health services to the less privileged residents especially in the conflict affected areas in the Brigade’s area of responsibility," Gargar said.
