🚨 DOH, NAGBABALA LABAN SA LEPTOSPIROSIS NA MAAARING MAKUHA SA BAHA 🚨

Huwag maglaro at iwasang lumusong sa baha. Mapanganib ang mga mikrobyo mula sa mga basura at dumi na maaring magdulot ng leptospirosis. 🦠

Maaaring magkaroon ng komplikasyon sa atay, bato, at puso ang taong mapapasukan ng mikrobyong leptospira sa katawan.

Kung sakaling malulubog sa baha, agad na maghugas ng katawan gamit ang tubig at sabon. Agad ding kumonsulta sa doktor kung lumusong sa baha nang may sugat o kung makararanas ng sintomas tulad ng lagnat at pananakit ng katawan.

Tumawag sa Telekonsulta hotline 1555 (press 2) para sa mabilis na konsultasyon. 📞

Public Advisory No. 2025-022 | June 16, 2025

In compliance with Department Memorandum No. 2025-0236, dated May 23, 2025, and in response to the anticipated peak of dengue cases during the upcoming rainy season, all local government units, partner agencies, and private institutions are hereby urged to 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗮𝘀 𝗞𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹.

With the unpredictable rainy weather, the risk of mosquito breeding sites has significantly increased, posing a serious threat to public health. Hence, we must remain proactive in our efforts to eliminate potential breeding grounds. This initiative is a crucial step in strengthening regional measures to control dengue and reduce the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases.

As part of this initiative, all government offices, including the LGUs, schools, and universities, are encouraged to adopt and intensify the following strategies:
𝟭. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
All Local Government Units (LGUs) are encouraged to reinforce daily synchronized source reduction and clean-up drives in all barangays, particularly in dengue hotspot areas.

𝟮. 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀
Institutionalization of clean-up drives and dengue awareness activities among schools, colleges, universities, and TESDA-accredited institutions. Government and private organizations are also enjoined to participate and observe the 4 o’clock habit within their premises.

𝟯. 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀
Development and dissemination of targeted and localized IEC materials to increase awareness on dengue prevention, as well as the promotion of the DOH Alas Kwatro Kontra Mosquito Campaign. Communication efforts may include posting and sharing of social media cards, advocacy campaigns, educational sessions, and community-based activities.

Your active participation and support are vital to the success of this initiative. Together, we can demonstrate the power of a unified government approach to dengue prevention and control in Eastern Visayas.

For your information and strict compliance.

Public Advisory No. 2025-019 | June 4, 2025

Sa gitna ng patuloy na maalinsangang panahon at sa sunod-sunod na naitalang High Heat Index sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng rehiyon, pinapaalalahanan ng Department of Health Eastern Visayas Center for Health Development (DOH-EVCHD) ang publiko ukol sa mga panganib sa kalusugan na dulot ng labis na init gaya ng Heat Stroke at iba pang Heat-Related Illnesses. Para sa kaligtasan ng iyong sarili at pamilya, maging maalam sa mga paraan kung paano maiiwasan ang mga health risks na ito.

Kadalasan, ang heat stroke ay sanhi ng mainit at maalinsangan na panahon, matagal na pagkalantad sa ilalim ng araw, pag-eehersisyo/pagtratrabaho sa gitna ng mainit na panahon, at dehydration. Gayunpaman, may mga maagang sintomas na maaaring tutukan ang heat stroke upang ito ay agarang maagapan. Ilan dito ay ang sakit ng ulo, pagkahilo, pagsusuka, panghihina ng katawan, pamumutla, mataas na lagnat (higit sa 41°C), pagkawala ng malay, at mabilis na tibok ng puso.

𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗻𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝗽𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗴𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗮𝗴-𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁:
1. Limitahan ang oras ng pananatili sa labas.
2. Ugaliing uminom ng sapat na tubig para maiwasan ang dehydration.
3. Iwasang uminom ng tsa-a, kape, softdrinks, at alak.
4. Gumamit ng sombrero/payong at magsuot ng magaan/maluwag na pananamit
kung saka-sakaling lalabas ng bahay.
5. I-iskedyul ang mga gawain ng mas maaga o sa dulo ng hapon. (Sa mga oras na
mas mababa ang temperatura)

Maging handa. Maging ligtas. Iwasan ang sakit ngayong tag-init.
