ALAMIN ANG MGA SENYALES NG PANGANIB SA PAGBUBUNTIS!

Ang pagdurugo, matinding pananakit ng tiyan, lagnat, matinding sakit ng ulo o panlalabo ng paningin, pamamanas ng mukha o kamay, at biglang paghina o pagkawala ng galaw ng sanggol ay ilan sa mga senyales na nangangailangan ng agarang pagpapatingin sa pinakamalapit na health facility.

Tandaan, hindi kailangang hintaying makaramdam ng sintomas bago magpatingin. Kumpletuhin ang 8 prenatal check-ups at agad na magtungo sa pinakamalapit na health facility kung makaranas ng anumang senyales ng panganib.

Libre ba ang bakuna sa Bakuna Eskwela?

Oo. Makukuha nang libre ang mga bakuna sa mga pampublikong paaralan tuwing Bakuna Eskwela at health facilities.

Kung ang mga ito ay bibilhin sa pribadong klinika o health facility, aabot ng halos 13,000 ang magagastos mo.

Magpabakuna Na!

SCHOOL-BASED IMMUNIZATION CONTINUES IN CAGWAIT!

The second week of the School-Based Immunization (SBI) Program is underway! The RHU Cagwait Health Team, together with the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of Education (DepEd), remains committed to protecting our schoolchildren through vaccination.

This week, our health team continues to face challenges, including misinformation and fake news circulating on social media that cause fear and hesitation among parents. Despite these obstacles, our commitment to protecting every child remains strong. Through continuous Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) activities and persistent follow-ups, more parents are gradually gaining confidence and giving their consent to have their children vaccinated.

The SBI program provides Measles-Rubella (MR) and Tetanus-Diphtheria (TD) vaccines for eligible Grade 1 and Grade 7 learners, and HPV vaccines for eligible Grade 4 and Grade 5 learners. These vaccines help protect children against serious vaccine-preventable diseases.

We understand that parents want only the best for their children. That is why we encourage everyone to seek information from trusted health professionals and reliable sources before believing or sharing claims on social media. Let us replace fear with facts, doubts with understanding, and misinformation with proper health education.

Together, we can protect our children! Through the cooperation of parents, teachers, health workers, and the entire community, we can strengthen public confidence in vaccination, work toward herd immunity where applicable, and help eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases.

RHU Cagwait, DOH, and DepEd: Working hand in hand for a healthier, safer, and better-protected generation!

DOH: NEWBORN SCREENING, MAHALAGA SA KALUSUGAN NI BABY!

Ayon sa 2024 Newborn Screening Program Statistics, 92% ng mga ipinanganak noong 2024 ang sumailalim sa Newborn Screening.

Dahil mas pinalawig ang programang ito, maagang natukoy at naagapan ang mga sanggol na may congenital diseases. Kung hindi agad matutukoy ang mga sakit na ito, maaaring magdulot ang mga ito ng matinding kapansanan o maagang kamatayan.

Siguraduhing isagawa ang Newborn Screening para sa malusog na kinabukasan ni baby!
