ZAMBOANGA CITY — The West Metro Medical Center (West Metro) and Zamboanga Press Club, Inc. (ZPCI) on Saturday conducted a medical mission that benefited 46 members and dependents of the ZPCI.<\/p>\n

Of the total beneficiaries, 36 were adults and the remaining 10 were children who availed of the free medical consultation from two physicians of West Metro.<\/p>\n

Aside from free consultation, beneficiaries also availed of random blood sugar test, cholesterol test, and uric acid test.<\/p>\n

The medical mission through a pop-up clinic was held at the second floor of the ZPCI office on Pilar Street, Barangay Zone IV, this city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came up with this activity to help our co-workers in the media industry as well as their relatives. We should also think of our health,\u201d ZPCI Committee on Health Chair Hermie Ventura said.<\/p>\n

Ventura, the ZPCI auditor, said the medical mission would be held on a yearly basis with the help of the ZPCI supporters like the West Metro for the benefit of the club members and local media industry workers and their dependents.<\/p>\n

The conduct of the medical mission was proposed by West Metro President and Chief Executive Officer Ramon Diaz to ZPCI President Teofilo Garcia Jr. during the renewal of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the two parties.<\/p>\n

The West Metro and ZPCI has a standing MOA for the grant of five percent discount on all medicines purchased at MedExpress Drugstore to all club members in good standing.<\/p>\n

The West Metro team to the medical mission was led by Dr. Wilhelmina Hocson, pediatrician and West Metro Medical Center director; Dr. Crystal Joy Bolodo, Internal Medicine Resident; and, nurses Faida Misuari, Rea Elika Chan, Rechi Von Vesagas, Joan Epan and Gay Mary Cruz and Marking Manager Monabelle Blanco-Delgado.<\/p>\n

The West Metro is operated by the Metro Pacific Zamboanga Hospital Corporation and is a proud member of the Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings, Inc.<\/p>\n
