Medical and Dental Mission (Rosario Vill)

18 March 2010, Friday, 8am

Rosario Vill

A project of Gender And Development in cooperation with the Health Department, supported by Kap Kaye Dela Cruz and council.

Since summer is almost here, and we are already experiencing change in weather.  Fever, flu, coughs and colds are some of the common diseases that we are experiencing today.  We had a mini medical and dental mission for all genders, young and old

A total of 20 dental patients.

And 126 medical patients

Aside from the free "bunot" and conslutation, we supplied them with medicine, vitamins and more.

One of the goals of GAD (Gender and Development) is to help people with regards to their health.  A healthy community is a good place to live in.

Although we still have regular check ups at the Health Department at the Barangay Hall, Rosario is a very large barangay and not everyone has the means to go and avail of this free check up.  One of the goals of GAD is to bring the Health Department to these areas.
