Klinika iti Away, Cycle 3





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. Complete list of barangays with the corresponding number of patients served is as follows:
