Senator Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito, a known champion of Universal Health Care, visited Davao Oriental Provincial Medical Center (DOPMC) on July 1, 2025, signaling strong national support for the province’s primary government hospital.

Accompanied by newly elected Governor Hon. Nelson L. Dayanghirang, Senator Ejercito was welcomed by Provincial Health Officer II and Concurrent Chief of Hospital, Dr. Reden V. Bersaldo. The visit allowed the senator to see first-hand the current state of the hospital and its facilities.

During the visit, Dr. Bersaldo presented a comprehensive proposal outlining DOPMC’s immediate priorities including infrastructure improvement, modernization of equipment, and beautification of hospital surroundings to enhance patient experience and staff morale. Senator Ejercito, after going around the hospital grounds and interacting with healthcare personnel, gave his full support to the plans.

“I’ve always believed that quality healthcare should reach every corner of the country,” Ejercito said. “We will push for the needed support and funding at the national level to help make these plans a reality.”

Governor Dayanghirang expressed gratitude to the senator for taking the time to engage with the province’s healthcare frontliners and for giving importance to the medical needs of Davao Oriental.

Dr. Bersaldo likewise emphasized the significance of the visit. “It’s encouraging to know that the efforts of our healthcare workers are being recognized, and that our vision for a more efficient, people-centered hospital is being supported not only locally but also at the national level,” he said.

With clear plans on the table and national commitment now in place, Davao Oriental’s provincial hospital is poised for meaningful improvements in the years to come.

While others are quick to blame our healthcare workers for poor health services and customer service, we at Selah choose to do things differently.

Today, we held our very first 𝙆𝙖𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙨𝙘𝙝—a space created especially for our healthcare workers to connect and take care of their own well-being. Over coffee and honest conversations, they shared stories, challenges, and quiet laughs with Selah’s resident psychologist, Dr. Rose Anelyn V. Ceniza.

This pilot session gathered our Resilience Team—doctors, nurses and program managers who will soon roll out this experience to the rest of DOPMC’s workforce.

Happening just days after our new governor assumes office, this initiative aligns with the administration’s 10-point agenda to improve healthcare delivery across the province.

Better care starts from within. 🩵

Gusto ipahibalo sa Provincial Health Office nga wala pa gihapon tay kumpirmadong kaso sa Monkeypox diri sa Davao Oriental. Base sa pinakabag-ong assessment, low risk pa gihapon ang atong probinsya.

Bisan pa niini, nagapadayon gihapon ang 4-Door Strategy isip preventive measure batok sa Monkeypox.

𝙐𝙣𝙨𝙖 𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙪𝙝𝙖𝙩:

✅ Pagbantay sa mga kasikbit nga lugar

Ang atong mga surveillance teams sa mg LGUs padayon nga nagabantay. Nakig-coordinate usab ang PESU Davao Oriental sa PESU Davao de Oro para sa posible nga contact tracing.

✅ Pagpakatag sa kasayuran

Gipalig-on namo ang kampanya aron masabtan sa tanan kung unsa ang Monkeypox ug unsaon kini malikayan. Gihangyo ang tanan nga magpadayon sa minimum health standards:

▪️Kanunay nga paghugas sa kamot

Pagsul-ob og face mask kung naa sa daghang tao dayon adto sa health center kung aduna’y mga rashes o mga sintomas

▪️Pagpalapad sa impormasyon online

Atong palig-onon ang social media postings aron mas daghang tawo ang makabalo sa tinuod ug husto nga impormasyon.

𝙐𝙣𝙨𝙖 𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣𝙜?

🔺Pagpabiling updated
🔺Proper hygiene
🔺Ireport dayon sa health center kung adunay sintomas

Magtinabangay ta aron maprotektahan ang Davao Oriental batok sa Monkeypox!

The celebration also aligned with the World Health Workers’ Day, making the occasion extra special.

Dr. Maria Ge**er, chief resident of the department, opened the program by recognizing the contributions of long-serving health workers and encouraging everyone to prioritize self-care.

The group then listened to a talk by Dr. Rose Anelyn V. Ceniza, titled “PRIME: Power of Resilience in Midlife Empowerment.” Her session offered practical ways to stay mentally strong while navigating the changes that come with aging and long years of service.

After the talk, participants were treated to a relaxing wellness session—complete with snacks, soothing massages, and free manicure and pedicure services. It was a rare moment of pause and pampering that left smiles all around.
