❗️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! 🪱

❕DOH: PANATILIHIN ANG KALINISAN SA MGA PAARALAN PARA MAIWASAN ANG HAWAHAN NG SAKIT, GAYA NG HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE❕

Sa pagpapatuloy ng klase sa mga paaralan, paalala ng DOH na panatilihin ang kalinisan sa katawan at paligid, lalo na sa mga silid-aralan at lugar kung saan namamalagi ang mga bata.

Kahit pababa ang trend ng bilang ng mga kaso ng Hand Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) mula Mayo 18-31, 2025 (1,964 cases) papuntang Hunyo 1-14, 2025 (1,363 cases), hindi dapat maging kampante dahil mabilis itong makahawa kung hindi mag-iingat.

Ang isang batang may HFMD ay maaaring makahawa ng higit sa 2 na ibang bata, at maari pa itong dumami kapag nasa closed spaces gaya ng bahay at eskwelahan.

🖐👣 Ang mga kadalasang sintomas ng HFMD ay:
📌 lagnat
📌 singaw sa bibig
📌 sakit sa lalamunan
📌 mga butlig sa palad, talampakan, o puwit

❗️Makaiiwas sa HFMD sa pamamagitan ng:

✅Paghuhugas ng kamay gamit ang sabon at malinis na tubig, o paggamit ng alcohol-based sanitizer
✅Pag-iwas sa paghawak sa mukha, lalo na sa mata, ilong, at bibig
✅Pagpapanatili ng kalinisan at pagdisinfect ng mga kagamitan

We proudly recognize the vital roles of Dr. Rowena L. Gavero, our Municipal Health Officer,

In our continued mission to uphold public health, we emphasize the critical value of back-to-back and team-driven efforts across all programs—from immunization drives to postpartum visits, nutrition and targeted education for our Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) and Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS).

❗️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.

Over the past weeks, our team at the
Rural Health Unit has been actively engaging in a series of important initiatives to strengthen our local healthcare services.
We successfully conducted our weekly and quarterly meetings, focusing on the continuous monitoring and evaluation of our public health programs and services. These discussions have been vital in aligning our strategies with current health indicators and community needs.

🚑We also had the honor of making a courtesy call to the new SB Committee on Health Chairperson, Hon. Catherine Launio-Villaester.
This meeting was a meaningful opportunity to present ongoing and upcoming health initiatives and foster stronger collaboration between the RHU and our municipal leadership.

Finally, we are excited to share that we are in the final stages of preparing for the launch of PuroKalusugan by the DOH, a comprehensive health outreach program aimed at bringing essential services directly to our barangays. This launch represents our unwavering commitment to accessible, community-based healthcare.
