Some 70 indigent patients confined at the Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon Memorial Hospital (DRSTMH) will receive gift packages from the Provincial Government of Aklan.

According to Jesebel M. Vidal, Gender and Development (GAD) Focal Point Person here, the gift-giving will be conducted December 16, to be led by Governor Carlito S. Marquez, Honorary Chairperson of the Aklan Gender and Development Commission (AGADC) and Engr. Roger M. Esto, Provincial Planning and Development Coordinator and Vice Chairperson of AGADC.

Marquez and Esto will also be joined by Men Opposed to Violence Against Women Everywhere (MOVE) Aklan Chapter in the gift-giving activities.

Identified gift recipients are indigent women and children confined at the Charity, OB and Surgical wards of the hospital.

"The recipient-patients will be receiving towels, blankets and mosquito nets," Vidal said.
