Back in July 1997, we gathered together in Orlando, Florida and started the Bisaya Medical Association. Our goal, then and now, is to enhance medical education and skills of members in the medical profession, provide scholarship to deserving medical students in the Philippines and help provide care to the needy and impoverished people in the Philippines. Through our yearly medical missions, we provided free surgical interventions to countless numbers of patients with various illnesses. We provided as well, free medicines and supplies and donated medical and surgical equipment through the years of our existence. By lending a hand and working together with our various projects, we made a difference in the lives of many.

The Bisaya Medical Association and its Auxillary is hosting a Medical/Surgical Mission in honor of the late, Dr. Jesus T. Ho in Carcar, Cebu, Philippines on January 7-11, 2018. Dr. Ho was a pioneer in the Medical Mission world, heading a total of 34 missions, all to different parts of the Philippines each year.
The Medical Missioners are comprised of physicians with multi-specialities as well as nurses, spouses, family members, and friends. Because of Jess' many years of spearheading missions, it was easy to find a plentitude of volunteers to join the great cause that Jess loved so much. There is more than enough volunteers for this mission and Jess would be so proud.
A 40 x 20 foot shipping container full of hospital beds, wheelchairs, examination tables, medical supplies, medicines, walkers, etc. will be donated to the Cebu Provincial Hospital. In addition, school supplies will be distributed to the children along with chocolates, candies, and toys.
Governor Hilario Davide III and Mayor Nice Apura of Carcar, Cebu has graciously offered the missioners their hospitality and assistance with the Medical Mission.
As a special treat, Ms. Pilita Corrales and Jun Polistico, both personal friends of the Ho Family, will perform a tribute concert in honor of the late Jess Ho on January 10, 2018 during the Mission.

Dear Fellow Members & Officers of the Bisaya Medical Association USA,
Put a "little" life in your life.
Gentlemen & Ladies, I need voluntary donations for the Medical & Surgical mission in Carcar City, on January 7 - 11, 2018. The cost of providing the MSM services in the Philippines has increased. The Custom Fees, volunteers in Dental, Optical and Nursing services, additional housing accommodations ( about >50% accommodation is borne by the City of Carcar). Housing accommodations to all Missioners and Volunteers are free. Although dinner and social functions are taken cared off by friends and individual members of the BMA and the Mayor and the City of Carcar, many other expenses are expected like additional medicines, supplies and other needs.. Several members, officers and alumni had made significant donations and were initially deemed enough.
All income & Expenses will be accounted for accordingly.
Our services and donations will go a long way. Help the poor and the needy people of Carcar City, the drug addicted children and adults, patients where access to health care are limited, the chronic cases for follow-up consultation and management surgical cases and the maintenance and update of the evidence -based medicine of the local health care providers.
