KIDAPAWAN CITY – Close to 2,000 indigent patients were given free medical and dental checkups by the city government over the weekend.
The beneficiaries came from the city’s 40 barangays, according to City Mayor Joseph Evangelista.
The city government partnered with the U.S.-based non-government organization With Love Jan Incorporated through its president, Dr. Bern Miguel, in administering consultations and treatment of patients under the said outreach program.
“This is our way of giving back to the City and community,” Miguel who is from Kidapawan City, said. Free medicines, consultations and tooth extraction were provided during the two day activities at the city gymnasium.
With Love Jan Incorporated provided free medicines, the City Health Office said. Free meals were also given to patients during the event.
Most of the patients were indigents identified by barangay officials in May of this year ahead of the scheduled outreach program.
For said program to materialize, the city government partnered with private medical doctors and dentists for the project. (PNA)
