LMCDC Welcomes TESDA Caregiver Trainees!

LMCDC is proud to welcome our Caregiver Trainees from TESDA as they begin their 3-month immersion journey with us.

Throughout their stay, the trainees will undergo orientation, lectures, hands-on practicum, and community outreach activities—all designed to enrich their learning and sharpen their caregiving skills.

We believe that every experience gained here will not only enhance their competence but also nurture their compassion as future caregivers. May the knowledge and skills they acquire serve as a strong foundation for their careers and a source of hope and care for the communities they will serve.

Here at LMCDC, we don’t just train caregivers—we help shape future heroes of health and service.

Call Ka Lungs Promotion in Region I

In a continuing effort to strengthen the fight against Tuberculosis (TB), the Lacas Yakap Foundation, in collaboration with PASTB, Achieve, TB Access and PBSP, has launched the promotion of Call Ka Lungs in Region I.

The initiative aims to provide a direct and accessible platform for individuals affected by TB and their families to seek timely guidance and support. Through the hotline 09164052115, patients and community members can raise their concerns regarding TB management, report or inquire about adverse drug reactions, seek assistance in treatment triaging, and obtain other vital medical advice from trained health professionals.

This program reinforces the commitment of stakeholders to bring TB services closer to the community, reduce stigma, and empower patients with the right information for proper care and adherence. By offering a reliable and confidential communication channel, Call Ka Lungs Region I serves as a lifeline that ensures no one is left behind in the fight against TB.

Last August 19, 2025, LMCDC actively participated with LGU-Tagudin in celebration of the Buntis Congress, an event dedicated to promoting maternal health and wellness. Expectant mothers had the opportunity to visit various booths offering essential health services and information.

LMCDC & Lacas Yakap Foundation contributed by distributing IEC materials on Tuberculosis awareness through the “Call Ka Lungs Hotline” campaign and conducting STI screenings, while LGU staffs & SISMS members provided advises and maternal immunization through DPT vaccinations. OB-Gyne examinations were also rendered to ensure the overall well-being of the mothers and their unborn children.

Aside from LMCDC’s initiatives, other partner booths provided additional health services and distributed useful freebies, making the event both informative and supportive for pregnant women. The activity highlighted the collective effort of LMCDC and LGU-Tagudin in safeguarding maternal and child health through education, early detection, and preventive care.

Leveling Up TB & HIV Advocacy

Today at the LMCDC Viewdeck, we hosted a Short-Group Discussion (SGD) with Mr. John Miayo, RMT (Abbott Representative), who introduced the latest and more convenient tools for screening: the TB-LAM urine test for Tuberculosis and the CHECKNow self-test kit for HIV.

The session was actively joined by our Trained Community-Based Screeners (CBS), Trained HIV Counselors, Certified HIV-AIDS Regional Mentor (CHARM), and rHIVda-HIV Proficient Medical Technologists, along with TESDA trainees who volunteered to conduct self-testing—proving the reliability and practicality of the CHECKNow kits.

This initiative strengthens LMCDC’s efforts to equip and empower our frontline teams in implementing HIVAC-CBS services, ensuring communities have timely, reliable, and patient-friendly access to TB and HIV testing.

With continued collaboration and innovation, LMCDC stays true to its mission of expanding screening, advancing advocacy, and improving health outcomes for all.

Last July 12, 2025, a meaningful interagency initiative titled “Gulayan sa Barangay” was successfully held in Barangay Cabulanglangan, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur. The event was a collaborative effort led by the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Tagudin in partnership with the Southern Ilocos Sur Medical Society (SISMS), BFP, BJMP, and the Barangay Officials of Cabulanglangan joined by Team LMCDC.

The activity focused on tree planting and sustainable gardening, promoting food security, environmental stewardship, and community resilience. Representatives from each participating agency rolled up their sleeves to plant various vegetable seedlings and native trees, demonstrating their shared commitment to health, nutrition, and climate action.

The “Gulayan sa Barangay” program not only aims to encourage backyard gardening and clean, green surroundings but also strengthens interagency cooperation in advancing public health and environmental sustainability. This collective action serves as a reminder that caring for the environment is a shared responsibility that can unite different sectors for a healthier and greener future.

A successful Blood Letting Drive was recently conducted in the Municipality of Suyo, Ilocos Sur, led by the ever-dedicated MHO Dr. Maricon Sibucao alongside Dr. Jemima Atiga who conducted check-up for blood donors. The activity resulted in a significant number of blood units collected, each one symbolizing a gift of life and a beacon of hope for patients in dire need of transfusion.

This noble initiative was further strengthened by the W.I.L.D. Health Lecture Series, aimed at raising community awareness on prevalent infectious diseases during the rainy season. SISMS President Dr. Johanna Tipallo discussed the dangers of Dengue, emphasizing early signs and prevention strategies, while Dr. Kareen Alna L. Sanchez gave an informative talk on Leptospirosis, its transmission, and timely treatment.

The day’s activities embodied both compassion and commitment—demonstrating the collaborative spirit of healthcare workers in saving lives and empowering communities through health education.
