𝗕𝗠𝗖-𝗛𝗔𝗖𝗧 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗦 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽

The Bicol Medical Center – HIV/AIDS Core Team (BMC-HACT) recently concluded a series of high-impact activities in observance of World AIDS Day. From December 1 to 12, the unit went beyond the hospital walls to bring HIV awareness to the heart of our communities.

📍 Dec 1: Community Outreach & Advocacy
The campaign kicked off with Dr. Cherry Pinky M. Budao and Ms. Phoebee M. Atole, RN, as they conducted advocacy sessions in Ocampo, emphasizing early testing.

Simultaneously, Dr. Jose Manuel T. Rañola III and the team partnered with the Naga City Social Hygiene Clinic and AHF at the UNC Sports Palace to provide clinical lectures and free screenings, bringing life-saving information directly to the youth.

💻 Dec 5: Professional Education & Expanded Access
The BMC HACT Unit partnered with the IPCU, PETRU, and IMISS for the webinar “Protect, Treat, and Thrive Batch 2,” equipping BMC staff with the latest clinical and ethical strategies for PLHIV care.

On the same day, a collaborative effort with the BMC Dermatology Department offered free HIV screenings at the Regional Cancer Center, proving that integrated healthcare is the key to ending stigma.

🤝 Dec 11: Inter-Agency Linkages in Del Gallego
Extending our reach to the borders of Bicol, the team traveled to Del Gallego. In coordination with the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, Dr. Budao and Mr. Mark Joseph Olayon discussed the vital link between HIV awareness and the protection of women and children, providing testing services to community leaders and youths.

This campaign was made possible through the unwavering support of our partners: the LGUs of Ocampo and Del Gallego, the University of Nueva Caceres, and our co-advocates at the Naga City Social Hygiene Clinic and AHF. We also salute our fellow BMC partners (IPCU, PETRU, IMISS, and the Dermatology Department) for their vital role in our clinical and educational initiatives.

The BMC-HACT Unit remains steadfast in its mission to end AIDS-related deaths and stigma by 2030. Through education, treatment, and compassion, we continue to be your Champions of Hope and Healing.

Let’s work together toward a stigma-free Bicol!

Salamat sa saimong pagbisita, Nurse Archie! 💚

We're honored to have been part of your journey.

I started my nursing career here in 2005 as an ER nurse, not exactly in this building, but in this hospital. It’s nice to see how much it has improved since then.
