The Local Government
Unit of Umingan through its Medical Team concluded the 3rd cycle of
Klinika iti Away last July 26, 2013. Klinika iti Away is a mobile clinic for
barangay consultation and is a special project in consonance with the Six-Point Program of
Governance of the present administration headed by Mayor Eldred P. Tumbocon and
the Sangguninag Bayan presided by Vice Mayor Alain P. Rabang, under the health
program. It is envisioned that health
concern is one of our priorities in the Executive – Legislative Agenda. This “Klinika iti Away” is one action
activity for this purpose. This project is designed to be a continuous cycle of
consultations, covering 55 out of 58 barangays of the municipality (consults from Poblacion East and Poblcacion
West are addressed daily in RHU I; patients are admitted in RHU II in Brgy.
Cabaruan every Tuesday and Thursday). This
activity is being conducted every Tuesday and Friday and is designed to provide access to basic health services to
residents of remote barangays in the municipality particularly those who belong
to the lower income bracket. These
services include the diagnosis of illnesses, dispensing of medicines, nebulization,
debridgement and dressing of wounds, health counseling, provision of first aid
to minor injuries and referral to other health institutions as deemed necessary.
Cycle 3 of Klinika iti Away has served a total of eight thousand five
hundred fifty one (8,551) patients (please refer to the pictures). Brgy. San
Leon topped the list for this cycle as we have served 288 patients there.
