The UP Medical Alumni Society in America's (UP MASA) donation of a new dental chair with complete accessories was recently installed at the UPV Miagao Health Services Unit (HSU). After more than thirty years, the antiquated dental chair used at the HSU clinic has been replaced with a new one. The UP MASA donation includes a dental chair unit, a silent compressor, a sterilizer, a light-cure machine, a scaler, and other supplies. The donation was received in November 2020; however, the unit's setup and installation were only recently completed. The transfer of the old yet partly functional equipment to its new location took a bit of time. The new equipment will strengthen the dental services of the unit and better serve UPV.
