🌟 BHW CONVENTION 2025 🌟

Usa ka adlaw nga puno sa kahulugan, pagkat-on, ug pagpasalamat alang sa atong mga Barangay Health Workers (BHWs)—ang tinuod nga mga bayani sa komunidad. Ang BHW Convention 2025 usa ka higayon aron maghiusa, magbinayloay og kahibalo, ug palig-onon pa ang atong paningkamot sa paghatag og kalidad nga serbisyong panglawas sa matag barangay.

Pinaagi sa mga diskusyon, capacity development activities, ug fellowship, napalig-on ang atong panag-uban isip usa ka team nga adunay usa ka tumong: ang kahimsog ug kaayohan sa katawhan. Kining kalihukan usa usab ka porma sa pag-ila ug pagpasalamat sa walay kapoy nga serbisyo, dedikasyon, ug kasingkasing nga gihalad sa atong mga BHWs bisan unsang kahimtangan.

Daghang salamat sa tanang nakig-uban ug nitampo sa kalampusan sa maong kalihukan—sa City Health Office, LGU officials, mga partner agencies, ug labaw sa tanan sa atong mga BHWs nga padayon nga nag-alagad uban ang integridad, malasakit, ug gugma sa komunidad.

Daghang salamat usab sa tanang mapinanggaon nga sponsors ug partners nga naghatag og mga papremyo alang sa mga padula ug raffles nga nahimong dugang kalipay ug kadasig sa atong BHW Convention 2025. Ang inyong suporta ug pagpakabana usa ka dakong tabang sa pagpalig-on sa espiritu sa panaghiusa ug pagpasalamat sa atong mga BHWs. Dili gyud mabayran ang inyong kaayo ug pakig-uban sa maong kalihukan.

Padayon ta sa pagtinabangay, paghiusa, ug pagpalig-on sa serbisyo panglawas alang sa mas himsog, mas lig-on, ug mas malambuong komunidad. 💚

Saludo sa atong BHWs—mga bayani sa barangay!
