Pakaamo Health Talk: Empowering Active Living to Combat Non-Communicable Diseases

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory illnesses remain leading causes of illness and death in the Philippines. These are closely linked to lifestyle-related risk factors particularly physical inactivity. Healthcare workers, while serving as champions of health promotion are not exempt from these risks as stress and demanding schedules often limit their opportunities for exercise and self-care. Supporting their well-being is therefore essential in maintaining both individual health and a resilient healthcare workforce.

In response, the Pakaamo Health Talk: Empowering Active Living to Combat Non-Communicable Diseases was conducted through the collaborative efforts of the Human Resource Management (HRM), Public Health Unit–Health Promotion Section (PHU-HPS), Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) and the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Medicine Unit (PTRM). Held in celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the activity underscored the importance of prioritizing the health of public servants particularly healthcare workers by promoting lifestyle medicine principles with a strong focus on the Physical Activity pillar.

This meaningful activity was made possible through the invaluable support of Dr. Eduardo B. Calpito, whose dedication to promoting employee wellness and holistic healthcare serves as a constant inspiration in advancing programs that care not only for patients but also for those who serve them.

DOH: PALAKASIN ANG PEER SUPPORT GROUPS KONTRA SUICIDE‼️
Inirerekomenda ng DOH ang pagsasapinal at patuloy na pagsuporta sa mga youth-led peer support group para matugunan ang lumalaking pangangailangan para sa mga programang may kinalaman sa mental health.
Kaugnay nito, inilunsad na sa 50 Provincial at City-Wide Health Systems (P/CWHS) ang paggamit ng DOH Peer Support Groups Playbook.
Kabilang sa playbook ang mga training para sa mga peer facilitators at mga educational materials para higit pang buksan sa kabataan ang usaping mental health.
Sa pamamagitan ng peer support groups, nagkakaroon ang kabataan ng ligtas na espasyo kung saan sila ay napapakinggan, nauunawaan, at nagiging bahagi ng isang inklusibo at pantay na komunidad (WHO, 2021).
Batay sa DOH National Assessment of the Mental Health Literacy of Filipinos (2024), 2 sa bawat 3 kabataang Pilipino ay handang humingi ng tulong—isang malinaw na palatandaan na bukas ang kabataan sa pag-uusap at pagtutulungan, lalo na para sa mga may pinagdadaanan.
