Providing Healthcare: Medical-Dental Mission Serves 530 Antipolo Residents

Antipolo City, June 8, 2025 — Over 500 residents of Brgy. San Jose received much-needed healthcare services through a successful Medical-Dental Mission held at the Buhanginan Covered Court. The event was a collaborative effort between Ahon sa Hirap, Inc. and UST High School Batch '70, aiming to address the community's basic medical and dental needs.

A total of 530 patients were attended to, with services covering various medical specialties:

·       Dental – 69 patients

·       Pediatrics – 56 children

·       Medical (Adult) – 180 patients

·       Dermatology – 54 patients

·       EENT (Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat) – 166 patients

·       OB-Gynecology – 5 patients

This initiative showcased the power of community partnership in making healthcare accessible. For many residents, especially those without regular access to medical care, the mission provided vital checkups, consultations, and treatment — all free of charge.

Efforts like this not only address immediate health concerns but also remind us that healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. Kudos to all the volunteers and organizers who made this mission a success!
