Inspired to give back to the country where they came from especially to the indigent people, Dr. Grace C. Bautista, Pamag president said, “We are feel full to be blessed over there (US), we just want to share our blessing to over here to our kababayan.”

Skin conditions, allergies, eczema, asthma, colds and hypertension are mostly the cases they encountered at the city jail. When the patients need surgery, they refer them to JRBGH since they have also a group in that hospital to take care of minor and major surgeries.

City Jail Female Dormitory head Jail Inspector Haidee Macandili, for her part, was grateful that the inmates benefited from the tooth extraction, physical examination, and minor surgery.

Macandili said this is a big help to the inmates who needed medical check-up adding that some inmates have been complaining of toothaches. (pia x)
