Army 102nd Infantry Brigade sets free surgical operation in Zambo Sibugay

From the Philippine News Agency (Mar 25): Army 102nd Infantry Brigade sets free surgical operation in Zambo Sibugay

The Army’s 102nd Infantry Brigade, in partnership with the Maharlika Charity Foundation Inc., will sponsor free surgical operations for indigent children with cleft lip and palate deformities targeting at least 30 beneficiaries.

Capt. Marcel Jumawan, Civil-Military Operations (CMO) officer of 102nd Infantry Brigade, said they are targeting at least 30 children-beneficiaries aged one-year-old and above.

Jumawan however said that the medical team will accommodate all of the patients should the number of children who wanted to avail the free surgical service will exceed the allotted slots of 30.

He said the surgical mission will be held in Ipil, the capital of Zamboanga Sibugay province, but they have yet to finalize the schedule and venue.

“There are 30 slots available and as of this time, we have already listed 28 patients,” Jumawan said.

Jumawan said the 102nd Infantry Brigade is coordinating with the municipal government of Ipil to be fill-up the last two slots “so that the free surgical operation will be scheduled immediately.”
