Another donation for the Covid-19 team of IMH was sent by CCINAA and CPU College of Nursing.

The CPU College of Nursing, on its 15th week of love and support to Covid-19 Frontliners of Iloilo Mission Hospital, turned over 45 lunch packs of Mang Inasal and 80 grocery packs and hygiene kits on February 9, 2022.

Atty. Salex Alibogha, Dean CPU College of Nursing said, “This is a continuing initiative of the CPU College of Nursing, CCINAA, and specific nursing batch of the College. The initiative started last March 2021 during the height of delta variant. For now, it is in support of the nurses fighting against the omicron variant.”

It was recalled that CPU College of nursing in cooperation with CCNIAA has been very supportive of frontline nurses at IMH, and were the early donors of food, vitamins and other necessities for the hospital at the start of Covid-19 surge in Iloilo City.

This week’s donation was collectively sponsored by Atty. Salex Alibogha Class 1992, Prof. Analie Gilongos Class 1995, Melba Sale Class 1997, Nadiene Caipang Catedral Class 1977, Socorro Cordova 1977, Suzette Castro Arcilla and friends of Class 1977 from Harris Health Care System Bentaub General Hospital Texas.

CPUCN and CCINAA would like to boost the morale of staff nurses amidst Covid-19. The idea of weekly food and grocery packs was conceived by Atty. Salex Alibogha, Geoffrey Leysa and Easter Arora with the support of CCINAA chapters all over the world.

CCINAA is an association of nurses, graduates of Central Philippine University, Capiz Emmanuel Hospital (which served as their training hospital from the years 1954 to 1974) and Iloilo Mission Hospital Training School for Nurses.
