With poor air quality affecting parts of Metro Cebu, including Lapu-Lapu City, it’s best to limit time outdoors, keep windows and doors closed, and wear an N95 mask when going outside.

Children, older adults, and people with asthma or heart and lung conditions should take extra precautions.

If you develop persistent coughing, difficulty of breathing, chest discomfort, or unusual shortness of breath, seek medical attention.

Stay updated on local advisories and take care, Oponganons. 💙

The MactanMed Family and Community Medicine Residents were grateful to be part of Mastering the Basics: Urology for Non-Urologists, held today, August 28, 2026, at the Radisson Blu Hotel.

The learning session provided a practical and simplified approach to common urologic conditions that we encounter in everyday practice. It was a valuable opportunity to strengthen our knowledge, refresh the basics, and gain practical insights that we can bring back to our patients and our practice as family physicians.

Thank you to the organizers and speakers for making urology more approachable and relevant for non-urologists!

OPD & ER Audit | June & July 2026

The Department of Family and Community Medicine recently conducted the OPD & ER Audit for June and July 2026, presented by Dr. Aryl Zipporah Pilapil, Second Year Resident.

The audit gave us a glimpse into the various cases encountered in our OPD and ER, bringing real clinical scenarios to the table for discussion.

More than an audit, this was a shared learning experience; a chance to reflect on our practice, strengthen our clinical reasoning, and continuously improve the quality of care we provide to our patients.

A hospital is more than its walls, rooms, and equipment. It’s the people who show up every day for every patient who walks through its doors. 💙

This National Hospital Week, we celebrate our doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, support teams, and everyone across MactanMed who plays a part in each patient’s journey.

Different roles, one team and a shared heart for the people we care for.

Health Handled with Heart starts with you.

Happy National Hospital Week, MactanMed family!

The MactanMed Family Medicine Residents had a meaningful learning session on Quality Assurance (QA) through a consultant-led lecture by Dr. Mascariñas.

Last August 11, 2026, the MactanMed Family and Community Medicine Residents were grateful to be part of an insightful learning session under the Alagang Family Physician program, featuring valuable discussions on mental health and its management and precision pain management with the proper and responsible use of NSAIDs.

The session on mental health highlighted the importance of recognizing mental health concerns early, understanding the patient within the context of their psychosocial environment, and providing compassionate, holistic, and patient-centered care.

The discussion on NSAIDs, meanwhile, provided important reminders on rational prescribing and safe pain management; from selecting the appropriate medication and dose to considering each patient’s gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular risks. It reinforced the importance of using medications judiciously and tailoring treatment to the individual needs of every patient.

We are sincerely grateful to our distinguished speakers, Dr. Jasmin U. Friberg and Dr. Gary D. Galon, for sharing their expertise, experience, and valuable insights with us. Your discussions have given us practical knowledge that we can bring back to our clinics and incorporate into our everyday practice.

Thank you as well to the organizers and partners who made this meaningful learning opportunity possible. Experiences like these remind us that continuous learning is essential to becoming better physicians and providing safer, more compassionate care to our patients.

Today, our department had the privilege of learning from Dr. Santillan, whose consultant lecture reminded us that being a family physician goes beyond diagnosing and treating disease. It is about understanding the person, the family, and the community they belong to.

Through COPC, we are challenged to look beyond the clinic walls; to recognize the social determinants of health, identify barriers to care, empower families, build partnerships within the community, and create interventions that are not only evidence-based but also relevant, sustainable, and compassionate.

A patient is never just a diagnosis. Every illness has a story, every family has its own dynamics, and every community has factors that shape health outcomes. As Family Medicine residents, our role is to bridge these pieces together so that our care becomes truly holistic and meaningful.
