The Iloilo Provincial Health Office (PHO), in partnership with the Panlalawigang Pederasyon ng Sangguniang Kabataan (PPSK Iloilo Province), conducted a Medical and Dental Mission on November 28, 2024, in Barangay Bancal, Carles, as part of the National Children’s Month celebration.
The mission provided free health services to over 300 residents from Bancal and nearby barangays.
Among the services offered were medical consultations with free medicines, oral health services, X-ray screenings, and the distribution of nutrition commodities aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles and addressing immediate community health needs.
The Philippine Red Cross also supported the event by holding Child Rights Policy Talks.
The interactive sessions educated young participants on their rights and responsibilities, promoting awareness of child welfare and empowering the youth to take active roles in their communities.
The activity was carried out in collaboration with Bancal Integrated School, the Carles Local Government Unit (LGU), and its Rural Health Unit (RHU).
