KABACAN, North Cotabato — More than 600 residents of this town recently availed of free medical and dental services from the local government unit in partnership with the provincial government, non-government organizations and private sectors.
Particularly, the beneficiaries were children and senior citizens of Sitio Litton in Barangay Kayaga. Among the services offered to them were medical and dental consultation, tooth extraction, eye screening, and blood tests such as random blood sampling (RBS) and complete blood count (CBC).
The activity dubbed as “Unlad Pangkalusugan Program”, is aimed at providing health services to those who could not afford to see a doctor.
Aside from the personnel from the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO), LGU- Kabacan and University of Southern Mindanao (USM) Hospital, a team of volunteers from Care Channels International, a non-profit organization that helps poor and less fortunate communities, also extended help through the distribution of vitamins and medicines to the beneficiaries.
