The UST Medical Alumni Association Cebu chapter was formed last June 2019 during a dinner meeting with the Father Regent and Dean of the UST Faculty of Medicine and Surgery and the President of the UST Medical Alumni Association Dr George Co at the Seda Hotel.
We had a good turnout and officers were elected. Dr Cymmer Go (ophthalmologist) was elected the founding president.
For the very first outreach activity of the group, we decided to troop to the mountain barangay of Taptap to conduct a medical mission and feeding program. Donations of samples of meds were solicited and supplies were collected. We had donors for food as well. Dr Fareda Flores donated loot bags for the kids. Dr Mila Tolentino donated rubber slippers for the senior citizens. Consultation and distribution of meds, as well as feeding was completed during the half day event. Until the next mission!
We had lunch and our christmas get-together at the farm of Dr Cymmer Go in the same barangay. Overall, the feeling was a job well done aligning with Thomasian mission of competence, compassion and commitment.
