Over the course of several days, these eleven aspiring medical practitioners will have the invaluable opportunity to observe the medical practices employed by the town through the Municipal Health Office. This experience promises to enhance their understanding and contribute to their growth as future healthcare professionals.
The students expressed their awe and admiration on their first day as they witnessed firsthand how the Municipal Health Office effectively managed the healthcare needs of Jagna’s 40,000 constituents. With a doctor-to-Jagnaanon ratio of 1:20,000, the office’s dedication and commitment to the well-being of the community left the students amazed and inspired.
Mayor Joseph Raรฑola’s administration takes great pride in the fact that Jagna has become an immersion destination for the prestigious Ateneo de Manila University. The collaboration between the municipality and the renowned university not only showcases the town’s commitment to fostering education and growth but also highlights the mayor’s vision for the advancement of medical practices and the overall development of the local healthcare system.
