Medical Missions
_There
are many people, who because of poverty, cannot afford to have proper
medical care. SCORE has sent six major medical missions to the
Philippines. The first mission was in Davao City in 1994. Two missions
were held in Josefina/Aurora Zamboanga in 1997 and 1999.
In 2000 another mission was held in Camotes Island, near Cebu, and the following year, April 23-30, 2001, we had a mission at Manaoag, Pangasinan. The latest mission was held on April 1-7, 2002 in San Ricardo, Leyte. We were able to provide medical care to thousands of indigent patients, perform hundreds of major surgeries and countless dental and ophthalmological surgeries, and provide medicines needed for their continuing care.
Several containerized shipments of medical-surgical supplies had been sent overseas. Containerized shipment of hospital beds, operating room instruments and equipments were donated to a charity government hospital in Butuan City.
Physicians and medical personnel from the United States team up with The University of Sto. Tomas Medical mission team, in providing the appropriate services.
SCORE provides the needed funds to ship medical supplies and equipment to the mission area. Volunteer physicians and personnel provide their own fare from Toledo to the Philippines, and other needed personal expenses.
