POST-ACTIVITY REPORT ON

JOINT MEDICAL MISSION PROGRAM

IN ICC, COTABATO CITY

On December 3, 2023, the Smith Building at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cotabato City
served as the focal point for a transformative Medical Mission Program jointly initiated by several
organizations including the Office for Settler Communities (OSC). This initiative was conceived with a
profound purpose—to extend critical medical assistance to the chapels and organizations operating
under the care of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Cotabato City. The day unfolded as a
testament to the power of collective community care, as medical professionals and dedicated
volunteers converged to offer a comprehensive array of services. From vital consultations and
health check-ups to the distribution of essential medications and enlightening health education
sessions, the program addressed immediate healthcare needs while emphasizing preventive
measures and healthy lifestyle choices.

A total of one hundred-five (105), forty-five (45) were male and sixty (60) were females,
beneficiaries were given essential medical supplies and well as provided with free medical check-
ups. Volunteers and participants alike united in a shared commitment to promoting well-being. This
collaborative spirit not only facilitated the delivery of crucial medical services but also served as a
platform for strengthening bonds within the community. Despite the inevitable challenges posed by
resource limitations and logistical intricacies, the event emerged as a resounding success. It not only
met its primary objective of providing medical assistance but also exceeded expectations by
fortifying partnerships between the Immaculate Conception Cathedral and local organizations.

The Office for Settler Communities is expressly mandated to promote and well-being of settlers in
BARMM, and one way of realizing suc is through Medical Mission Programs which, beyond its
immediate impact, underscored the importance of holistic community service and the profound
impact that collaborative efforts can have on public health. The event stands as a testament to the
dedication of the organizers, volunteers, and medical professionals who worked tirelessly to ensure
the success of this meaningful initiative. As the echoes of the medical mission resonate, it leaves an
indelible mark on the health and well-being of the communities it served, embodying the ethos of
compassion, service, and community solidarity.
