Anyone can drown, no one should.

Drowning prevention starts with you:
👀 Supervise children & don’t look away when they're near water.
🦺 Use safety equipment like life jackets & make sure they’re in place before going out on a boat.
🏊‍♂️ Learn to swim, or if you can’t swim, stay away from the water.
🌧️ Check the weather conditions, the depth of the water & the strength of the current before entering the water.
🚫 Don’t drink alcohol near water, it dulls your senses & can cause fatal accidents near water.

Remember! Drowning is often silent & goes unnoticed.
Watch for the signs when someone is struggling to stay afloat, it’s never too soon to respond.

Condoms prevent most sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV but not other sexually transmitted infections.

Choose both for maximum protection!

Good news: Drug resistant tuberculosis treatment is shorter and all-oral.

Check with your doctor for WHO-recommended fully oral, shorter treatment lasting 6 months, with fewer pills and zero injections.

Yes! We can end TB.
Led by countries. Powered by people.

Stay informed. Stay well. Follow WHO.

👀 GET to Know them Better!

The City Health Office of Malaybalay - Physical Therapists not only provide treatment to their patients for physical recovery and to regain the strength needed to live a normal life. They also provide empathy, love, and compassion to the patients. That's how our Physical Therapists work.

In addition, everyone should understand the importance of this profession. Without them it is difficult to regain what is being lost physically. They assess, evaluate, and provide treatment plans for patients' conditions/illnesses. They plan for your recovery. They protect your mental health.

Misinformation surrounds this profession. This program is a five-year medical course. They need to pass the Physical Therapy Licensure Examination before they can perform the job. They are licensed healthcare professionals.

CHO Physical Therapists are ready to serve you with much love and care. They aim for optimum service, especially to the marginalized and vulnerable groups. Where services are for all, regardless of socioeconomic status.

They are the missing piece of a song likely to be figured out by a person with disability. They too are the queens, like in chess. They help complete the puzzle to recovery and growth.
