On July 16, 2026, the Provincial Government of Cavite spearheaded a medical and dental mission in Barangay San Francisco II, Dasmariñas City. The outreach benefited 480 residents, delivering essential healthcare services to the community.
A Continuing Commitment to Community Health
The July 16 mission in Dasmariñas City is part of a sustained effort by the Provincial Government of Cavite to deliver accessible healthcare to its communities, particularly in underserved and remote areas. Residents received free medical consultations covering a wide range of health concerns, along with dental services such as check-ups and tooth extractions. Diagnostic procedures including fasting blood sugar (FBS) tests and electrocardiogram (ECG) exams were also provided, helping to identify potential health issues early. Free medicines and vitamins were distributed to support treatment and recovery, ensuring that patients could begin their care immediately.
The mission was made possible through the collaborative efforts of healthcare professionals from the General Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Hospital (GEAMH), the Office of the Provincial Governor (OPG) medical mission team, and the Cavite Dental Chapter. The presence of healthcare professionals from GEAMH, the only government-run tertiary hospital in Cavite, ensures that residents receive quality medical and dental care. Local officials also attended the event to show their support for the program.

These initiatives reflect the government's commitment to promoting a healthier and more resilient Cavite community.
