According to Pamintuan, all surgical services such as removal of sebaceous cyst, lymphoma cyst, tendon cyst, abscess, warts and even small breast mass will be performed in the new hospital free of charge.

“Patients will not be required to pay any fees. However, they are required to pass thorough profiling and screening process prior to their admission,” Pamintuan said.

“After passing the profiling and screening process done by our barangay health workers, patients will be properly recommended for surgery by the rural health physician,” he added.

The medical facility has 10 surgical beds and other medical equipment for minor surgeries and operations that will be scheduled every Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Along with the opening, Dr. Rudy Ong, a private practicing surgeon, and nine other doctors performed surgical operations to some 110 patients.

Ong said he is happy to see the smiles on these patients once their problems had been solved.

“In this mission, we can see the smiles on these patients after availing our services and you can’t put a price on that. When they go back home surely they could live a normal healthy life,” he said.

Pamintuan thanked Ong and his team of surgeons and nurses for supporting the health program.

The mayor said it would greatly help the City Government achieve its goal of providing better health care and medical services to the Angeleños.

The mayor also reported that his administration’s health programs have already assisted 398,916 beneficiaries from July 2010 to June 2012.

These programs include: patients served at the Rafael Lazatin Memorial Medical Center (RLMMC), renal care unit, optical/cataract treatment, Barangay Day medical and dental mission, medicine dispensary, PhilHealth program, anti-rabies, anti-tuberculosis and nutrition program, and maternal care services.

“These, we all achieved within two years only,” Pamintuan said.

At the same time, Pamintuan announced the construction of the P50 million extension wing at the RLMMC with a 30-bed capacity where the new shipment of medical equipment from the World Medical Relief Inc. will be used.
