IN upholding the family as the most fundamental and basic unit of our society, the Tagbilaran City Primary Care Facility strengthened this definition by conducting the Family Health Day Summit 2022 with the theme “Buntis Alagaan, Bata Ampingan” at the Tagbilaran City Hall Atrium on September 17, 2022.
Various health programs of the office were discussed to participants which includes Maternal and Child Health Care Program, Family Planning Program, Nutrition Program and Environmental Sanitation Program among others.
The activity was spearheaded by City Health Officer Dr. Jeia Pondoc and was graced by no less than the mother and Mayor of Tagbilaran City, Mayor Jane Yap giving assurance to the participants that the family’s health and well-being is on top of her priorities.
Participants of the activity were the pregnant and post-partum mothers and parents of families with malnourished children. Food packs and Maternity kits were given to all the participants.
City Health Information Officer Robin Reyes Culpa said the activity is focused in capacitating mothers on the value of proper nutrition and family planning. This would greatly increase their effectiveness in managing the health of their respective households. (Robin Reyes Culpa, CHO)
