A total of 649 beneficiaries from Barangay Calubo, Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental received free medical services during the conduct of Medical Mission of Government Workers last September 16, 2023.
The Civil Service Commission Regional Office X, in partnership with Provincial Government Office of Misamis Oriental and Provincial Health Office, offered medical assistance to 152 Senior Citizens who received free medicines, Buntis Kit to 19 pregnant women, laboratory services to 45 individuals, dental services to 84 patients, and medical consultations to 349 individuals.
Other partner agencies such as Philippine Statistics Authority, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and Department of Foreign Affairs also participated in the said event by providing their services to the participants. The beneficiaries of the said medical mission were also given free snacks and lunch packs while they were being serenaded by the PGO Misamis Oriental Band.
The nationwide medical mission was in line with the 123rd Philippine Civil Service Anniversary which aims to reach out and provide basic medical and dental services to the underprivileged and marginalized sectors of our society. This is our way to give back to communities and to help the less privileged. The success of the event also led to talks for future collaborations with the PGO-Misamis Oriental and CSC ROX on medical missions and other events, which the said province will be conducting soon.
The event was graced by the presence of Congressman Christian Unabia, First District of Misamis Oriental, Governor Peter M. Unabia, Province of Misamis Oriental, Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members, Vice Mayor Tomas M. Zarate, and other officials. It was also attended by our very own CSC RO X Acting Director IV Noemi Rabe-Torres, and Acting Director III Atty. Cosette Maglasang-Mundo, together with the personnel and staff of CSC RO X.
