Together with VPHCSI volunteers and doctors, the medical students went to a small town called Tangnan in the island of Panglao to give free medical consultations and medications to the community. Encountered medical conditions were hypertension, diabetes, asthma, allergic rhinitis, fever, cough and colds. If there were no available medications for their condition, they were advised to go to their local health center or nearby hospital. There was a nurse volunteer and VPHCSI staff to help the medical students in relaying information and communication in “Bisaya”.
