Strengthening a longstanding partnership in healthcare, the Local Government Unit of Dagupan, through the City Health Office and UST Medical Missions, Inc., successfully delivered 1,135 free healthcare services to Dagupeño beneficiaries during a two day medical mission held on May 30 and 31.
The medical mission offered free circumcision (libreng tuli), minor surgical procedures, arthritis awareness and consultation sessions at West Central Elementary School, while free ultrasound services for mothers were simultaneously conducted at the City Health Office.
On the first day, 500 beneficiaries received free circumcision services, 146 patients underwent minor surgical procedures, 50 mothers availed of free ultrasound services, and 50 individuals participated in arthritis consultation and education sessions.
Services continued on the second day, benefiting an additional 283 circumcision patients, 80 minor surgery patients, and 26 ultrasound beneficiaries.
Mayor Belen Fernandez, through a Facebook post, expressed her gratitude to Dr. William Olalia, President of UST Medical Missions, Inc.; Dr. Virgilio Castro, Sonologist; the City Health Office headed by Dr. Julita De Venecia; PhilHealth; Barangay Health Workers (BHWs); and all volunteer healthcare workers whose dedication helped make the mission a success.
The initiative reflects Dagupan City’s continuing commitment to bringing essential healthcare services closer to communities and ensuring that quality, accessible healthcare remains within reach of every Dagupeño family.
