On Oct 26, Goducate Laguna, together with a partner group, held a medical mission at the Goducate Training Center in Laguna. The partner group provided the medical team of 5 doctors, 2 nurses, and 8 medical assistants. Goducate Laguna staff, Goducate scholars, and members of the Provincial Police Department helped the medical team serve the 206 people who turned up for medical help.
Goducate scholars are college students from the Goducate music program who get financial help from Goducate for their studies because they come from very-low-income families. They actively help in Goducate’s community work, which they find meaningful, and which we hope will inculcate in them the desire to continue to serve the needy. In the medical area, they have helped with previous medical missions, and also visit hospitals to bring cheer to inpatients.
For this 5-hour event, 2 were assigned to the vital-signs section, 5 to the counselling area, 5 to the medical consultation area, 5 to the eye clinic, and 5 to the pharmacy. The others served as general helpers.
