Thirty patients underwent surgeries whose costs and surgical needs were covered fully by the Foundation. The standard complement of equipment in the Sentro was supplemented by one Infiniti machine lent by Alcon Philippines. Technical support staff was also present for the Oertli machine that the company - together with MTC Optical - have parked in the Sentro; its continued presence contributing immensely to the center's functionality and ability to consistently render service.
This brings to over 1,500 the number of patients served through the generosity of Chi Liam Tong and other industry partners, who, together, have made possible these endeavors in the past 6 years. As such collaborations advance the mission of the Sentro and DOVS - expanding even its reach and impact to Philippine society - the faculty and staff look forward to the next such event.
