Isinagawa nina Dr. Faye at Sir Lean ng Mental Health Team ng RHU Banga ang inisyal na konsultasyon at counselling sa isang pasyente at sa kanyang magulang. Sa pamamagitan ng counselling, matagumpay na nakumbinsi ang pamilya at mga kamag-anak na mayroong kondisyon sa kalusugang pangkaisipan ang pasyente, upang ito ay sumailalim sa mas masusing check-up.

Sa loob ng mahabang panahon, nanatili lamang ang pasyente sa kanilang tahanan nang walang anumang check-up o gamutan. Ngunit dahil sa tuloy-tuloy na follow-up at maayos na referral sa espesyalista, siya ay nakapagpatingin, nabigyan ng angkop na gamot, at ngayon ay patuloy na sumusunod sa mga payo ng doktor.

Isa ito sa maraming programang nakatuon sa kalusugan sa ilalim ng 𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗼𝗸𝗮𝗹 𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮, 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗮 𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗺𝘂𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗻𝗶 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗗. 𝗣𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮.

Brgy. Cinco Unites for a Dengue-Free Community🦟🚫

On January 28, 2025, the people of Brgy. Cinco, Banga came together in a unified effort to combat dengue through the DENGUE CONTROL ACTIVITY: LECTURE AND OPERATION KULOB. With the increasing threat of dengue in many communities, the event aimed to empower local leaders and health workers with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent and control the spread of the disease.

Held in partnership with SOCCSKSARGEN GENERAL HOSPITAL (SGH), the activity featured insightful discussions led by Dr. Bailen Dimaraw Santos (Medical Officer III), Althea Ardina Alejano, RN, MAN (Chief Nurse VI), Maria Theresa Sumpio Tabiano, RN (Nurse II), and Alma Misare Causing, RN (Nurse I). Their expertise provided participants with a deeper understanding of the Dengue Control Program and the significance of Operation Kulob, a community-driven initiative to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds.

The event was attended by key members of the community, including the Barangay Council, Barangay Health Workers, Purok Leaders, Barangay Health Navigators, the Association of Sitio and Purok Officers (ASPO), and the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). Their active involvement helped strengthen local dengue prevention efforts and ensured that the knowledge gained would be effectively implemented at the grassroots level.

Following the lecture, participants immediately put their learning into action through a bayanihan effort called "Operation Kulob." In a display of community cooperation, they inspected various areas in the barangay, identifying and eliminating potential mosquito breeding sites. Households were encouraged to cover or remove stagnant water, clean surroundings, and maintain proper waste disposal to prevent mosquito infestation. The collective effort highlighted the importance of working together to ensure a healthier and safer environment for all.

The event was a resounding success, made possible through the dedication and commitment of the barangay council, health workers, and community members. As the activity came to a close, there was a renewed sense of responsibility among participants—a shared determination to sustain their dengue prevention efforts beyond the event itself.

With continuous vigilance and collaboration, Brgy. Cinco is well on its way to becoming a dengue-free community. 🌿💚
