The Rural Health Unit of San Andres, Catanduanes successfully conducted its 1st PuroKalusugan in Barangay Palawig on January 8, 2025, marking a meaningful step toward stronger, community-centered health care delivery.

🤰 Maternal Care Services – to support safe pregnancy and maternal health
💉 Immunization – to protect against vaccine-preventable diseases
🧠 Mental Health Services – including screening and counseling.
📚 NCD IEC (Non-Communicable Diseases Information, Education, and Communication) – health education on the prevention and management of hypertension, diabetes, and other lifestyle-related diseases
This initiative underscores the importance of holistic and preventive health care, addressing both physical and mental well-being while empowering communities through health education.
The success of this activity was made possible through the dedication of our health workers, the support of barangay officials, and the active participation of the people of Palawig.
Together, we continue to build a healthier, informed, and more resilient San Andres. 💚
