Banaybanay, Philippine Nurse Corps, listen to a child's lungs at Ligao West Central Elementary School during Pacific Partnership 2016. Cadette, a native of Norwalk, Connecticut, was at the school as part of a cooperative health engagement where Pacific Partnership 2016 personnel attached to Mercy and members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines spent the day educating people on health care, hygiene and nutrition. Participants also provided direct care services including optometry, dental care and physical therapy. Pacific Partnership is visiting the Philippines for the seventh time since its first mission in 2006. Partner nations will work side-by-side with local military and non-government organizations to conduct cooperative health engagements, community relation events and subject matter expert exchanges to better prepare for a natural disaster or crisis.
