St. Anne Medical Clinic: A laudable project
Dr. Greg Sancho. Happy to render free
medical services.
True to their fundamental principle of charity, the Knights of Columbus, Molo Council No. 5028 and Santa Ana Parish of Molo, have established the St. Anne Medical Clinic at the ground floor of the Molo Convent.
Opened twice a week every Wednesday and Friday at 9 am until 12 pm, this very laudable project has served hundreds of community indigents since it opened two years ago. This opened through the efforts of Sir Knights Rolando Layson and Dr. Greg Sancho, both 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, during the term of Grand Knight Rogelio Garcia. The project was carried over by incumbent Grand Knight Danilo Martinez.
Patients at the St. Anne Medical Clinic.
Aside from offering free medical consultations, the clinic also offers prostate and blood sugar examinations plus free medicines provided by the council and donations from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, under Regional Director Jeanette Oberio.
The clinic serves an average of 20 patients each consultation day, mostly children. These patients are identified as bonafide residents of the district of Molo, poor and deserving indigents by parish barangay facilitators.

St. Anne Medical Clinic is under the supervision of Dr. Sancho, a retired Provincial Health Officer II, of the province of Guimaras and former chief of Guimaras Provincial Hospital. Dr. Sancho had also been Medical Director of the defunct Magdalen Hospital in Escalante, Negros Occidental and former Chief of Hospital of Gov. Valeriano Gatuslao Memorial Hospital in Himamaylan, Negros Occidental.
