TACLOBAN CITY – Following the medical mission, the City Health Office (CHO) would make follow up consultations for the patients who were advised to do so, according to Dr. Jaime Opinion, city health officer.
In an interview, Opinion said that the CHO is open for patients who need follow-up consultations especially those with serious illnesses.
“The patients will merely present their referral note from the doctors”, Opinion added.
He further said that the medical mission was very timely because Tacloban was placed under a state of calamity.
However, he said that the said activity did not only cater to the victims of flood and landslides but also for all Taclobanons especially the children and senior citizens.
He said that the medical mission was a big help to the city because we were devastated by heavy, incessant rains, flooding and landslides, so there were a lot of people in Tacloban who needed medical assistance.
With this, Opinion extended his sincerest gratitude to the people behind the recently concluded medical mission led by the Office of the Vice President held at the Balyuan Convention Center with partnership with the city government through Mayor Alfred Romualdez, Eye Referral Center by Former City Mayor Bejo Romualdez, Alpha Phi Omega (APO), EVRMC, Bethany Hospital, RTR Hospital and Department of Health (DOH).
