SECOND ROUND OF FREE ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES AT CPH BALAMBAN
Pro-bono medical doctors successfully conducted the second round of FREE orthopedic surgeries at the Cebu Provincial Hospital – Balamban (CPH-Balamban).
This initiative is part of the continuing commitment of the Philippine Orthopaedic Association which earlier held the first round of free orthopedic operations last October 7 at the same hospital.
The medical mission aims to provide much-needed orthopedic care—such as joint repairs, fracture management, and corrective procedures—to underprivileged patients who sustained injuries during the 6.9-magnitude quake that hit northern Cebu.
The medical team included:
Surgeons
1. Alexander Ho Jr.
2. Dilbert Monicit
Anesthesiologists
1. Kierstienne Karen Moralde
2. Kirrby Ardiente
3. Kazeline Lasdoce
STAFF NURSES
1. Lotis Estan
2. James Ryan Cabaluna
3. Sotera Tapulado
4. Aires Calvo
Surgical Assists
1. Niño Escaro
2. Charlie Labra
3. Shiney Dacula
This effort was made possible in collaboration with the Cebu Provincial Government, CPH-Balamban administration and staff, led by Chief of Hospital Dr. Olivia Dandan, and volunteer partners, with the goal of delivering quality, accessible healthcare to every Sugboanon.
