Marso: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Ang buwan ng Marso ay ginugunita bilang Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month upang palakasin ang kaalaman ng publiko tungkol sa pag-iwas, maagang pagtuklas, at tamang paggamot sa colorectal cancer.

Ang colorectal cancer ay uri ng kanser na nabubuo sa colon o re**um at kadalasang nagsisimula bilang maliit na polyp na maaaring maging cancer sa paglipas ng panahon.
Sa Pilipinas, ito ay kabilang sa mga pangunahing sanhi ng pagkamatay dahil sa cancer at mas karaniwang nakikita sa mga taong edad 50 pataas.

⚠️ Mga posibleng sintomas:
• Pagbabago sa pagdumi (diarrhea o constipation)
• Dugo sa dumi
• Pananakit ng tiyan
• Biglaang pagbaba ng timbang
• Panghihina o anemia

✅ Paano makaiwas?
• Kumain ng masustansya at mayaman sa fiber
• Mag-ehersisyo at panatilihin ang tamang timbang
• Iwasan ang paninigarilyo at labis na pag-inom ng alak
• Magpatingin sa doktor at magpasuri kung kinakailangan, lalo na kung edad 50 pataas

Tandaan: Ang maagang pagtuklas ng colorectal cancer ay makakatulong upang mas madaling magamot at makaligtas ang buhay.

HEART HEROES IN THE MAKING 💓

In celebration of Heart Month, students from Jacinto Montilla National High School participated in a Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First Aid Workshop aimed at promoting heart health awareness and equipping young people with lifesaving skills.

The workshop was conducted by the Sipalay DRRM Trainers, who shared their expertise and demonstrated the proper techniques in performing CPR and basic first aid during emergency situations. Through hands-on demonstrations and guided practice, the students learned essential skills that can help save lives in cases of cardiac arrest and other medical emergencies.

The activity emphasized the importance of empowering the youth with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively during emergencies while waiting for professional medical assistance.

Special thanks are extended to the Sipalay DRRM Office and trainers for gracing the event and for generously sharing their time, knowledge, and expertise in teaching lifesaving skills to the students.

MJMDH expressed their appreciation to the students and teachers from Jacinto Montilla Memorial National High School who actively supported the activity, making the workshop both informative and meaningful in line with the celebration of Heart Month.

This initiative of the MJMDH-Adolescent Friendly Health Facility aims to raise awareness about heart health and encourage communities, especially the youth, to adopt a proactive role in promoting safety and wellness.🫶👱‍♀️👱‍♂️🚑
