For parents, discovering that their child requires complex brain or spinal surgery can be overwhelming, especially when the necessary care feels financially out of reach.Bringing this advanced surgical interventions for hydrocephalus, spina bifida, and Chiari malformation directly to a local government hospital, this initiative brought world-class healthcare straight to the doorsteps of General Santos City families who needed it most.
The mission owes its success to the seamless collaboration between our visiting experts and our dedicated local team. Heartfelt thanks go to GenSanโs own pediatric neurosurgeon, Dr. Manilyn Ann Hong, for anchoring this effort locally, and to the specialized team of doctors who traveled to join the mission:: Dr. Patricia Clerkin, Dr. Phillip Aldana, Dr. Carmina Aldana, Dr. James Mercado, Dr. Raymund Gagwis, Dr. Jun Mirabueno, Dr. Robert Mariano, Dr. Rhea Miguel, Dr. Ralph Anislag, and Dr. Kay Colleen V. Arancon. This elite team worked hand-in-hand with the DJPRCH nursing staff, who provided tireless, dedicated bedside care under the capable guidance of Chief Nurse Dr. Joann Sienes. The entire mission was made possible through the administrative vision and steady leadership of Chief of Hospital Dr. Ryan Oscar Aplicador, MD, and Chief of Clinics Dr. Kliendio Rovillos, MD, who ensured the hospital's facilities and staff were fully prepared for these intricate procedures.
Ultimately, this milestone is a beautiful reminder of what can be achieved when a community unites for its children. We extend our deepest gratitude to the GenSan Local Government Unit (LGU), through the leadership of Honorable Mayor Lorelie Geronimo Pacquiao, for their enduring support of vital health initiatives. We are equally grateful to the Neurosurgery Outreach Foundation (NOF) and Rotary International, led by Dr. Edwin Valencia, whose partnership and resources helped turn this vision into tangible healing. Beyond the successful surgeries, this outreach has given local families a renewed sense of hope and healthier future.
