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
