The Philippine Gospel Association (PGA) is a medical missions ministry established in 1963 by Dr. Conrado Quemada. After completing medical school in the Philippines in 1955, Dr. Quemada came to the U.S. to specialize in general, plastic, and reconstructive surgery. After seven years of residency, he could have comfortably settled in America with good pay and prestige. Instead, he chose to bring his family back to the Philippines to begin the medical missions work he knew God had called him to. Until his death in 1995, Dr. Quemada and his wife labored unceasingly, preaching the Gospel and offering free medical services to the suffering poor. PGA’s ministry includes mobile medical and dental outreaches to remote areas; health education on hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention; and cooperation with local churches for follow-up of new converts. Inspired by their parents’ dedicated service to God, the two Quemada children have become missionaries themselves: Cris Quemada-Paurillo is one of ANM’s staff missionaries, and Dr. Linda Quemada-Balugo serves as the medical missionary director of PGA.
