Over three thousand patients received free medical treatment and dental care provided by volunteers of the Medical Mission of Mercy USA during its 22nd annual medical mission in early February of this year. In hospitals and site facilities located in General Santos City and Lake Sebu, doctors and dentists performed surgeries involving cleft lip and cleft palate repair, hernia repair, hysterectomy, and also tooth extraction and filling, and medical consultation.
