2007 Medical Mission
Find out who were there.
San Miguel de Mayumo Cluster USA held its first Medical-Dental Mission in San Miguel in February 2007. The six-day mission
provided free consultation, evaluation, tooth extractions and prescriptions, as well as free medicine and vitamins, to thousands
of indigent patients.
The medical team, headed by Drs. Miguel and Nieves de Castro, was comprised of members of the USTMAA (University of
Santo Tomas Medical Alumni Association ) Tri-State Chapter NJ, PA and DE and the PMSGP (Philippine Medical Society of
Greater Philadelphia) which included doctors from various specializations like General Medicine, Obstetrics, Gynecology and
Internal Medicine. They were joined by dentists from San Miguel and other towns in Bulacan and by local nurses.
SMdM CUSA coordinated the entire mission, including board and accommodation of the volunteer physicians, dentists and
nurses, necessary local permits, announcements and selection of needy patients. SMdM CUSA also provided free snacks to
patients while they wait for their turn. Mr. Emmanuel (Boy) Echavarria, SMdM CUSA Coordinator in San Miguel, and his
team of local volunteers, worked closely with the mission that insured the resounding success and effectiveness of this
undertaking. The mission turned over plenty of “leftover” medicine and vitamins to Dr. Edwin Tecson, head of the local health
units, who in turn, conducted several health missions.
