US-based group holds medical mission in Bayambang
LINGAYEN–A medical mission by a private organization based in the US served 8,932 Bayambang residents from February 17-20 at the Bayambang District Hospital.
Among the medical services delivered in coordination with the provincial government were major and minor surgical operations, dental treatment, and provision of reading glasses and care packs to the beneficiaries.
The provincial government thanked the 248 volunteer doctors and nurses of Bukas Loob sa Diyos Foundation (BLD) of Newark, New Jersey, USA through a farewell party on Feb. 20 at the Sison Auditorium.
“No measure of thanks or no material gratitude can ever replace what you have done for the people of Bayambang, the people of Pangasinan,” said Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim Jr. as he represented Governor Amado Espino Jr. in the event.
Likewise, Bayambang Mayor Ricardo Camacho thanked the BLD-delegation for helping his constituents have “a better outlook in life.”
Calimlim noted that BLD is the biggest overseas-based delegation to have conducted a medical mission in the province.–Johanne R. Macob
