          Medical Mission Group Hospitals & Health Services Cooperative of Surigao del Sur will soon be a recipient of a donation from World Medical Relief of USA. WMR will be sending one 40 foot container van containing various hospital equipments and medical supplies. These equipments would include CT Scan, Dialysis Machine, 2D-Echo Machine, Mammogram Machine and other hospital equipments available.
         
         This donation will be of great help to the people of Surigao del Sur considering the fact that Surigao del Sur still belong to the infamous "CLUB 20 POOREST PROVINCES OF THE PHILIPPINES". The whole province doesn't have these hospital and diagnostic equipments to guide physicians to make an educated diagnosis and wise decisions on a particular patient. Patients are usually transported to neighboring cities or provinces and will have to travel 6 to 10 hours just for these diagnostic procedures and avail of these hospital equipments. Sometimes patients could no longer make it to these neighboring cities or provinces. What compounded the problem is that Surigao del Sur has a rough or bad road network, an airport without an airplane and a seaport without a ship. 
         
           This reminds me of one patient who was transported to Davao City just for Diagnostic CT-Scan. But unfortunately on their way to Davao City, the ambulance they were riding met an accident. The driver was unharmed but the relative that accompanied the patient had multiple fractures and the patient died on the spot. But with this donation from WMR with God's will, this thing will never happen again.
         
          This donation from WMR will also be of great help to Medical Mission Group Cooperative Hospital in fulfilling one of its missions that is to provide Surigaonon with premium quality, affordable, adequate, appropriate and accessible health care services with special bias to the marginalize sectors of our society. Since MMG will no longer be thinking of return of investments socialize rate for these diagnostic procedures could easily be done.
         
          Before all of these could be delivered, MMG will have to shoulder the freight and handling cost that would run to about 1.5M ($32,000). Because of this, MMG is soliciting and accepting financial assistance, donations or investments from all sectors in order to raise this amount. Even how small or big will be the amount of your assistance, donations or investments, it will be of great help to the people of Surigao del Sur.

A STORY OF A LITTLE PRINCESS PDF Print E-mail

             In this world, the greatest love that is beyond our comprehension and immeasurable are parents’ love towards their child. Even how ugly the child is but to the eyes of his or her parents, he or she could be the most beautiful child. They will do everything for the sake of their child. This reminds me of a story of a Little Princess that I met eleven years ago after I came back to Surigao del Sur after my Residency Training at National Children’s Hospital in Quezon City. 

                Mr. and Mrs. Jesnar Boquil were very excited to learn that Mrs. Lilian Boquil was pregnant for their first baby. She had her regular prenatal check-up at Barangay Health Station manned by licensed midwife. But she was deprived of a more sophisticated gadget such as Ultrasound that was nowhere to be found here in Tandag, Surigao del Sur. You have to travel first to Butuan City or Davao City just for a simple ultrasound because we don’t have Radiologist at that time.

                  At the day of delivery of their Little Princess, their excitement was dash off with ice cold and as if the whole world crumpled upon them when they saw their Little Princess. Their Little Princess had congenital anomaly known as Congenital Meningoencephalocoele. It suddenly became a talk of the town to have weird looking or monster-like baby. All of the hospital staffs from Doctors to Janitors told them to just accept the reality and anyway the child would not live that long because of her predicament. But despite of the negative feedbacks that they got, the parents especially the mother, Lilian, were really determined to have their child seen by a Specialist.

Medical Mission Group Hospitals & Health Services Cooperative Surigao del Sur has gone a long way from one man's dream of serving his fellow Surigaonon especially the marginalized sectors of the society. From the original member of only 15, it has now a total membership of around 1,500 members. Its membership is broad based from all walks of life and that includes, doctors, allied medical professions, professionals, teachers, police, military, different religious denominations, barangay health workers, vendors, fisher folks, farmers, jeepney and tricycle drivers.

During its 7th Anniversary and General Assembly, its theme is "Heaven Can Wait But Health Can't". In one man's journey in this world because we are just tourist, he will always do his best and struggle to maintain self in proper physical shape and free from all forms of diseases because of this Heaven will just have to wait before man could reunite our Creator. At the same occasion, MMG also launched "Buntis Congress 2008". This is also in response to the Safe Motherhood Program of DOH and the administration of Gov. Vicente Ty Pimentel, Jr.

In the said 7th Anniversary and General Assembly held at MMG Cooperative Hospital on April 19, 2008, Mr. Johnny Ty Pimentel was the Guest of Honor. Another guest was supposedly Dr. Jose M. Tiongco, CEO of MMG Philippines Federation but unfortunately one of the bridges connecting Marihatag and Cagwait was not passable thus he was not able make it on the said occasion.
