LGU-Bayog conducts medical, dental mission for its constituents

by Bernadine Astillero-Gabawan

BAYOG, Zamboanga del Sur, July 12 (PIA) -- To attend to the  health needs of  its constituents particularly the barangay folks, the local government unit of Bayog under the stewardship of Mayor Leonardo Babasa, Jr.,  reached out to the barangays to conduct  medical and dental outreach.

Some 80 residents of Barangay Sigacad, this municipality and its neighboring barangays were given free medical checkup and medicines, and 30 others who underwent oral examination and prophylaxes on Tuesday, June 10, 2012 at the Barangay Hall of Sigacad.

The medical outreach was spearheaded by the Rural Health Unit led by Dr. Gretchen A. Dubrico.

Mayor Babasa gives priority to health programs for his constituents because he believes that health is more important than any other things.

On the other hand, another medical and dental outreach is scheduled on July 17, 2012. The same medical team will be at Barangay Depore in the morning, and will proceed to Barangay Canoayan in the afternoon. (BAG-PIO Bayog/CAL/PIA9)
