MORE than 1,200 people availed of free medical services during the medical mission held last May 23 at the Paknaan relocation site.

The medical mission organized by Three Sixty Pharmacy was in partnership with the Mandaue City government’s Housing and Urban Development Office (HUDO), Unilab and Sangkai Construction.

At least 25 nurses, eight dentists, 10 doctors and 50 volunteers from Three Sixty Pharmacy rendered the free services, including free circumcision by six medical personnel.

Services included laboratory screenings for body mass index and glucose/sugar, medical consultation, dental services, family planning seminar and feeding.

Nevaline Miranda, marketing manager of Three Sixty Pharmacy, said this is the first ever medical mission they have conducted and they are targeting to conduct two more medical missions this year.

“This is our way of sharing our blessings to the community through our corporate social responsibility,” said Miranda.

The displaced settlers from sitio Mahayag, barangay Subangdaku whose houses were demolished by the city government were referred by HUDO officer Tonypet Juanico to Miranda to be the beneficiaries of their medical mission.

“We are very thankful to our sponsor for bringing their services to the relocation site,” Juanico said.

The newly crowned Ms Mandaue Ena Velasco assisted in the medical mission and led the feeding program initiated by Sangkai Construction for the children.

“Being a Medical student and as part of my responsibility to promote goodwill as Ms. Mandaue, I will give my all out support to this project as this is also my advocacy,” said Velasco.

Free medicines were also given to the patients.
