Health professionals participating in a weeklong medical mission in Alabel, Sarangani are enjoying free Internet connectivity via Smart Bro, a wireless broadband service of SMART subsidiary Smart Broadband, Inc.
"Internet access is very useful to us. I thank Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART) for supporting our medical mission and for helping us help the poor," said Jean Pierre Dickes, president of the Association Catholique des Infirmieres et des Medecins et des professional de Sante or Catholic Association of Doctors, Nurses and Health Professionals in Asia (ACIM-ASIA).
ACIM-ASIA, in partnership with the Sarangani Province, is conducting the Rosa Mystica Health Mission from August 11 to 15.
"SMART is happy to support noble endeavors like the medical mission in Sarangani, especially since in this instance, we are able to show how our technology can help those who help others," said Atty. Maria Jane C. Paredes, Public Affairs VisMin Manager.
General Santos City-based ACIM-ASIA Secretary Yolly Aileen Gamutan said that the free Internet connectivity provided by SMART allows them to email updates on the medical mission to sponsors abroad.
"Thanks to SMART for providing us this free service and for connecting us to the world. I am writing a personal blog in my website about this health mission," said French nurse Clotilde Bur.
Aside from making contributions, ACIM-ASIA members also get friends to donate supplies for the patients.
Through the health mission, French, Polish, Singaporean doctors and nurses who are members of ACIM-ASIA and volunteer nurses from General Santos City aim to serve 2,000 patients from Alabel.
SMART, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SBI, is enabling more and more people and organizations to enjoy the benefits of the Internet with Smart Bro, a revolutionary high-speed broadband Internet service that uses the nationwide network of SMART to wirelessly connect computers to the World Wide Web. /MP
