The overseas doctors will bring with them medicines as well as medical and dental equipment.

Canto said the first of these medical missions scheduled on February 3 to 9, will be led by Dr. Grace Duque-Dizon, along with Drs. Grace and Vic Bautista, all from Georgia, USA.

       The second will be on February 11-16, to be led by Dr. Bong Busto and other Fil-Am doctors from California, U.S.A.

The third will on February 19-24 to be led by Dr. Jess Romero and one Dr. Simon, from Ohio.

The medical mission, which is also open to other vacationing medical practitioners, will be held at the Region 1 Medical Center on Arellano Street in Dagupan City.

Canto said there will be no limit on the number of patients who will be attended to by doctors, but emphasized that a first-come-first-served policy will be strictly observed. — A.P.E.
