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.
