Hundreds troop to Valentine medical mission
February 15, 2011
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Hundreds of middle-aged people from all over Pampanga’s third district trooped to the Valentine’s Day medical mission sponsored by Representative Aurelio Gonzales Jr.
The medical mission, dubbed “Project Sweetheart,” was held at Gonzales’s district office in Barangay Sindalan on Monday. It is a diabetes and heart treatment-care program that aims to provide indigents with the rather expensive laboratory tests for free.
The mission was manned by famed cardiologist Dr. Lorino Ramos of the University of Santo Tomas and his staff.
Beneficiaries who came from different towns of the third district availed of free blood, urinalysis and ECG screenings, among others.
The program also helps in the needed treatment or management of diseases discovered during the treatment.
“This is not a palliative medical mission. In fact, the medical mission will help patients recuperate from illnesses that we could cure. The mission also provides them with the needed medicines,” Gonzales said, adding the mission is also aimed at detecting the onset of possible illnesses.
Gonzales said the medical mission provides middle-aged residents of the district with the needed check-up.
He said ordinary people could not afford expensive laboratory tests that are essential in outlining the general health condition of an individual.
The congressman said the medical mission under Project Sweetheart will continue on a regular basis in the coming weeks.
Meanwhile, Dr. Ramos also urged residents here to observe a healthy lifestyle and maintain good nutrition to avoid lifestyle diseases.
Lifestyle diseases, commonly known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are called such because much of the risk factors associated with them are related to how one lives.
The four major lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases that currently dominate the list of leading causes of death in the country are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes mellitus and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.
Ramos said most lifestyle diseases could be prevented through proper exercise, healthy diet and a clean and healthy living. (Ian Ocampo Flora)
