A medical mission was held by the VPHCS in Barangay Nueva Vida, Loon, Bohol last March 16.
The mission was organized together with the Panaghugpong sa mga Mag-uuma sa Loon (PAMALO), local government unit of Loon, Task Force Carabao-Germany, and barangay council of Nueva Vida.
Services included general medical consultations and physical examination of children which included determination of their weights, heights and visual acuity, check-up of general body systems and dental status, and urinalysis. Adult patients were also checked up.
