About a hundred Comvalenyos availed the free surgical procedures performed by a team of medical specialists on October 20-24, 2012 at Compostela Valley Provincial Hospital (CVPH)- Montevista.
The provincial government has partnered with the Alfonso Yuchengco Foundation, Inc (AY Foundation), a non-profit, service-oriented organization that has various social development programs focusing particularly in education, health, and nutrition sector.
Two medical teams came composed of the Screening Team and the Medical Expert Team.
Pediatrician, Pulmonologist, Gastroenterologist, Pathologist, Medtech, and one on Family Medicine screened the patients.
The surgical procedures were done by six General Surgeons, seven Anesthesiologists, six ENTs (Ear, Nose, Throat), Head, and Neck Surgeons, six General Practitioners, and seven O.R. Nurses. Mostly, women patients were given Thyroidectomy, a surgical procedure on Goiter.
Thankful for the success of the endeavor, Governor Arturo T. Uy hosted a fellowship dinner for the medical teams on October 22 at the Capitol Lobby.
It can be recalled that the Sangguniang Panlalawigan has approved the PLGU and AY Foundation partnership on such free medical services during their 103rd regular session on October 3, 2012. [GRACE ALMEDILLA, IDS-COMVAL]
