Ang Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD) ay isang nakakahawang sakit na dulot ng mga virus, pangunahin na ang Coxsackievirus A16 at Enterovirus 71. Ito ay kumakalat sa pamamagitan ng direktang kontak sa laway, sipon, dumi, o butlig ng may sakit. Karaniwan itong tumatama sa mga bata sa pamamagitan ng maruming kamay o mga bagay na naisubo.

Upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD), ang pinakamabisang paraan ay ang pagpapanatili ng wastong kalinisan at pag-iwas sa direktang kontak sa mga taong may sakit.

Dahil ang virus ay nananatili sa katawan ng ilang linggo kahit wala na ang mga sintomas, mahalaga ang tuloy-tuloy na pag-iingat.

Pangunahing Paraan ng Pag-iwas:

✅Madalas na Paghuhugas ng Kamay: Hugasan ang mga kamay gamit ang sabon at tubig sa loob ng hindi bababa sa 20 segundo, lalo na pagkatapos gumamit ng banyo, magpalit ng diaper, o bago kumain.
Tandaan: Maaaring hindi sapat ang alcohol o hand sanitizer laban sa ilang uri ng enterovirus na sanhi ng HFMD.

✅Pagdidisimpekta ng Gamit: Regular na linisin ang mga "high-touch surfaces" tulad ng mga doorknob, mesa, at lalo na ang mga laruan ng bata gamit ang sabon at tubig o disinfectant na may bleach.

✅Iwasan ang Close Contact: Huwag munang makipaghalubilo, makipagyakapan, o makipaghalikan sa taong may HFMD.

✅Huwag Maghiraman ng Gamit: Iwasang magbahagi ng mga kubyertos, baso, tuwalya, o personal na gamit.

✅Wastong Etiketa sa Pag-ubo: Takpan ang bibig at ilong gamit ang tissue o siko kapag uubo o babahing.

Para sa mga Bata at Paaralan

✅Isolation (Pagbubukod): Kung may sintomas ang bata, huwag muna siyang papasukin sa paaralan o daycare hanggang sa mawala ang lagnat at matuyo ang mga butlig.

✅Monitoring: Obserbahan ang iba pang kasama sa bahay para sa mga maagang sintomas tulad ng lagnat o pananakit ng lalamunan.

✅Edukasyon: Turuan ang mga bata na huwag isubo ang kanilang mga kamay o anumang bagay na maaaring kontaminado

Starting Tuberculosis Preventive Therapy (TPT) is a proactive step toward ending TB in our communities. 💚

In line with the programs of the Department of Health, TPT helps prevent individuals with TB exposure from developing active disease. Early prevention protects families, reduces transmission, and strengthens our fight for a TB-free Philippines.
Prevention is protection.

TPT was initiated by Mina Pcf PHN Ma'am Dorothy Cantara to 12 daycare learners at Brgy. Tolarucan today, February 25, 2026.
