PGC’s medical mission team drove to Brgy. Col. Jose P. Elises. As part of Cavite Provincial Government’s continuous effort in promoting health and wellness to the Caviteños, the Office of the Governor-Extension, in coordination with Barangay Chair Hon. Eduardo P. Cerdeña, conducted another leg of medical mission program in General Mariano Alvarez, this time at Brgy. Col. Jose P. Elises, on May 3, 2023.
The technical team from the Cavite Provincial Health Office, consisting of Dr. Arnhem Patiño, Dr. Gem Cyrell Peñalba, and other medical professionals, provided access to basic medical care, giving health advice and consultation to the patients. Moreover, the OPG-Extension staff distributed prescribed medicines and vitamin supplements, bringing comfort and relief to the residents.
The barangay councilors, health workers and volunteers extended their warm welcome and assistance to the medical mission team throughout the program and expressed their appreciation to the PGC for bringing their services to the locality, especially to the grassroots level.
Due to the numerous COVID-19 positive cases, the Provincial Epidemiology and Surveillance Units rendered antigen swab testing to patients with symptoms to ensure the safety of everyone in the venue. (PICAD)
