MEDCAP update: Gandara

The Gandara leg of the USNS Mercy MEDCAP ended today. The two-day activity extended 3,873 medical services to 2,107 patients.

Mayor Mel Sarmiento was again on hand to coordinate things. Gandara Mayor Antonieto CabueƱos and the members of the Municipal Council also extended their support.

The MEDCAP team and volunteers will take a day off for the third leg of the mission which will be held from June 7 - 8 at Sta. Margarita.

Here are some pictures taken from the Gandara MEDCAP

As with the earlier missions, huge crowds turned up for the free medical services
