Bringing Health Closer to the People: Purok Kalusugan by DOH in Laoag City

The Department of Health's Purok Kalusugan initiative was recently rolled out in Barangays 1 San Lorenzo, 56-B Bacail South and 37 Calayab of Laoag City through the efforts of the Laoag City National Health Workforce Support Services (NHWSS).

This community-based health strategy aims to make primary healthcare more accessible, especially in grassroots communities. Through Purok Kalusugan, residents benefited from free medical consultations, basic health screenings, health education, nutrition services and referrals—all brought directly to their barangay.

By partnering with local health workers and barangay officials, NHWSS successfully implemented the program to ensure that no one is left behind in the push for Kalusugan para sa lahat.

👏 Thank you to all Brgy officials,Provincial Health Office, Provincial Department of Health Office, City Health Office, health professionals, community members who made this outreach a success

In response to the recent devastation caused by Typhoon Crising, the Provincial Department of Health Office has mobilized immediate support to affected communities. With the health and safety of residents as a top priority, essential supplies including doxycycline (to prevent leptospirosis), jerry cans for safe water storage, and hygiene kits have been distributed to the most impacted areas.

These efforts are part of a coordinated public health response to prevent the outbreak of waterborne and vector-borne diseases in the aftermath of the storm. The distributed supplies aim to ensure access to clean water, promote personal hygiene, and safeguard community health during this critical period of recovery.

We extend our gratitude to our health workers, City Mayor James Brian Alcid, SP Jaybee Baquiran Provincial Health Office, City Health Office and partners on the ground for their tireless efforts. Together, we remain committed to building resilience and restoring well-being in the affected communities.
