A recent medical and dental mission in Barangay Kalubkob, Silang, Cavite provided free healthcare services to 389 residents. The July 8 outreach offered medical consultations, dental services, fasting blood sugar (FBS) testing, electrocardiogram (ECG) screenings, and free maintenance medicines. The initiative was spearheaded by the Provincial Government of Cavite in coordination with local health offices, district hospitals, and community volunteers to bring essential care closer to residents.
A Continued Commitment to Accessible Healthcare
The Provincial Government of Cavite has a long-standing record of conducting medical missions across the province, consistently bringing essential healthcare services to communities in need. Previous missions in Silang have included a February 2025 outreach in Barangay Maguyam that served 626 residents, and a January 2024 mission in Barangay Lalaan 1 that benefited 463 individuals. The July 8 mission in Barangay Kalubkob is a continuation of this sustained effort, reflecting the provincial government's commitment to making quality healthcare accessible to all Caviteños.
The medical mission was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Office of the Provincial Governor's medical mission team, healthcare professionals from the General Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Hospital (GEAMH), and local government officials. This multi-sectoral partnership ensures that residents receive comprehensive care—from consultations and diagnostics to medicines—all at no cost. As demonstrated in previous missions, the presence of local officials, including Board Member Aidel Belamide and Mayor Ted Carranza, underscores the importance of community support in delivering these health programs.
Silang's Growing Healthcare Infrastructure
The medical mission at Barangay Kalubkob is complemented by Silang's expanding healthcare infrastructure. The groundbreaking for the new Silang Public Hospital took place in November 2024, with the facility set to feature 50 beds including isolation rooms, private rooms, and general wards, along with a delivery room complex with three birthing theaters, a Malasakit Center, and an emergency complex. A separate public hospital project in Barangay Biga I is also in the pipeline, funded under the 2025 20% Development Fund.
In addition, the private Silang Doctors Hospital continues to serve the community, providing primary healthcare services with a mission to offer quality, accessible, and affordable care. The Rural Health Unit (RHU) of Silang also recently blessed a new Lying-In Clinic, further enhancing maternal health services in the municipality. These developments, combined with regular medical missions, demonstrate a multi-layered approach to healthcare delivery in Silang—one that combines preventive outreach programs with robust, permanent healthcare infrastructure.
