THE rise in cases of upper respiratory diseases due to the constant changes in weather has been confirmed by a team of medical practitioners in Dagupan City.

Councilor Jesus Canto, a doctor and former director of Region 1 Medical Center in Dagupan, said his Team Kalusugan that is moving around in the 31 barangays of Dagupan giving health education as well as free consultation and medicines to the people, noted the high incidence.
