By Gregorio TaveraJAGNA-To raise public awareness on diabetes, Municipal Health Officer Arnold Dasio Cagulada organized the Jagna diabetic club.
This is to also unite the diabetes-stricken individuals and form a more vibrant group with sufficient background knowledge on their ailment, according to Dr. Cagulada.
Just recently the US-based non-government organization (NGO) called Philos Health, led by Forrest Malakoff, has just conducted a medical mission on its 12th visit in this town to help trim down the cases of diabetes here, which Jagna residents have been thankful of.
The local government unit (LGU) led by re-elected Mayor Exuperio Lloren was also instrumental in facilitating the availability of the services of the humanitarian workers.
Dr. Cagulada and the staff of the Municipal Health Office (MHO) had been cooperative with the programs of the Philos Health.
In the 3rd round of medical mission conducted recently, diabetes had been identified as the most common attacker of the health of Jagna residents, especially among the old-age individuals.
