Tuli Mission at Tabuk, Mandaue

After a few days of rest and tour in Bohol, the medical students were back in Cebu. This time, they went to Tabuk, Mandaue for their last tuli mission as requested by their fellow classmate in UP College of Medicine, Ms. Liz Jamora. This was done at the community’s gym area, and it was quite a windy day that kept on blowing the sterile gauzes from the operating table. The supply of gloves, sutures, and surgical equipment was limited so the medical students and other volunteers just queued for the scissors and clamps being sterilized, and they used the available gloves even if the gloves does not fit their size. Again, sutures were sterilized with lysol to be reused to other patients in line. More than 150 children were circumcised and the mission finished early in the afternoon despite the lack of medical supplies.
