A blessing not just in disguise but in real medical doctors and personnel in scrub suits from Operation Blessing have been bestowed upon the areas of Cagayan de Oro made possible and in coordination with PACC and CUMC last March 18 to 20.

A total of 17 medical professionals composed of anaesthesiologists, electrophysiologist, pediatric ophthalmologist, cardiac surgeon, OB/GYN, orthopedic surgeon and registered nurses from the US were behind the three-day surgical mission. Patients with life-threatening conditions were the primary focus of the mission since they are the very ones who are in need and who who cannot afford expensive medical operations. The following operations performed were open-heart surgeries, pacemaker insertion, orthopedic and gynaecologic procedures, and pediatric and adult strabismus repair.

PAAC is thankful for the opportunity to lend a helping hand and to offer their medical expertise to ailing Filipinos.

“This is the first time that PAAC joins Operation Blessing in a major event such as this. It is extremely rewarding to help our needy kababayans, most especially in rural areas where there is little access to this kind of treatment,” shared Dr. Gino Ang, M.D., chairman of PAAC.
