TACLOBAN CITY – Former city mayor Alfredo “Bejo” Romualdez brought eye specialists during the recently concluded medical mission held at the Balyuan Convention Center.
In an interview with the Leyte Samar Daily Express, former Mayor Romualdez said the incumbent Mayor Alfred Romualdez and Vice President Jejomar Binay had requested for support from his eye referral center for the said medical mission.
“Without hesitation, I say yes to it,” Romualdez said.
After the consultation of the doctors, he said that the patients were given proper medication, at the same time the patients were also given assessments about the condition of their eyes – grade of the eye and other eye illnesses.
He also stressed that if the patients have a very serious eyes case or illness, Dr.Alfredo Lim, an eye specialist at the Bethany Hospital, this city, can give referral to the Eye Referral Center located at Metro Manila.
“The patients must bring barangay and mayor’s certificate”, Romualdez said.
He clarified that if the patients have certification coming from the barangay and the mayor, they will be able to avail of any services from the “Eye Referral Center” for free.
“We should not ignore our sight, at the age of 30 we must consult an ophtalmologist even once a year,” he said.
