My Typical Saturday.
White coat on by dawn,
Provincial roads still yawning—
Eight hours of healing hands,
Quiet strength in quiet lands

A Private individual, A Public Servant
In a world often defined by limits, she chooses to go beyond them. A government doctor by title, yet her true calling extends far beyond office hours. She is a private doctor with a public heart—offering care to the underserved, reaching out where others stop. Her resilience is matched only by her compassion. As a woman, a healer, and a tireless advocate for the needy, she redefines what it means to serve.
She is not just a doctor. She is hope in human form.

❗️FILARIASIS — ISA PANG SAKIT NA DALA NG LAMOK NGAYONG TAG-ULAN ❗️

💡 Bukod sa Aedes aegypti na nagdadala ng dengue, mabilis ding dumadami sa panahon ng tag-ulan ang mga lamok gaya ng Aedes spp., Anopheles spp., at Mansonia spp. na nagdadala ng Filariasis.

Ang lymphatic filariasis ay sakit na dulot ng mga microscopic na bulate na naipapasa mula sa kagat ng lamok. Kapag napabayaan, maaari itong magdulot ng kapansanan dahil sa permanenteng pamamaga ng iba’t ibang bahagi ng katawan.

Mga paraan para maiwasan ang Filariasis:

✅Gawin ang taob, taktak, tuyo, takip sa mga lalagyan para walang pamahayan ang lamok;

✅Magsuot ng pantalon at damit na may long sleeves; at

✅Gumamit ng mosquito repellent pag lalabas, at ng kulambo sa pagtulog

📍 Sa tulong ng mass drug administration, nakakamit ng mga probinsya ang Filariasis-free status.

❗️BUKOD SA LEPTOSPIROSIS, MGA BATANG NAGLALARO SA BAHA PWEDENG MAGKA-ASCARIASIS DALA NG MGA BULATE❗️

Babala ng DOH, hindi lang Leptospirosis ang maaaring makuha sa baha, kundi ang mga Soil-transmitted Helminths (STH) infections, tulad ng Ascariasis, Trichuriasis, at Ancylostomiasis. Madalas na tinatamaan ng mga STH ay ang mga batang hindi nagpapurga.

Ayon sa datos ng DOH noong 2024, 57% pa lang ng batang 1-4 years old ang nagpapurga sa kabila ng libreng Deworming tablets na binibigay sa mga health center.

Ilan sa mga sintomas ng STH infections ang:
✔️Pananakit ng tiyan
✔️Pagtatae
✔️Panghihina
✔️Rectal prolapse (Paglabas ng laman ng pwet)
✔️Mabagal na paglaki ng katawan at isipan ng bata

Paalala ng DOH sa mga magulang, huwag hayaang maglaro sa baha ang mga bata at gawin ang W.O.R.M.S para maiwasan ang impeksyon na dala ng mga bulate! 🪱
