Region II Trauma and Medical Center (R2TMC) proudly stands among the two selected hospitals in Luzon, recognized by the Department of Health as a host for the National Women’s Month Celebration this March 2026, implementing a hospital-based service delivery activity entitled “DOH Kalingang Pangkalusugan para sa Kababaihan" with the aim to empower women and improve access to women’s health services.

Throughout the month, R2TMC led a series of meaningful and engaging activities: from “Purple Wednesdays,” uniting staff in solidarity through color, to “Limang Katanungan para sa Kababaihan,” weekly initiatives fostering awareness on women’s health through propaganda and interactive learning.

The observance of National Buntis Day, last March 10, highlighted the importance of maternal care through comprehensive programs, including lectures, free medical services, and community engagement. Extending its reach, the Buntis Congress, held in partnership with Lt. Tidang Memorial Hospital, brought essential healthcare services and education directly to women in Kayapa held March 12.

On March 26, with the aim of promoting wellness beyond clinical spaces, a Fun Run and Zumba event energized participants from all walks of life, reinforcing the value of active and healthy living.

The culmination of the celebration took place on March 31 at Nueva Vizcaya State University, in collaboration with key partner institutions namely, the Nueva Vizcaya State University-Bayombong (NVSU), Department of Health - Center for Health Development (DOH-CHD), Provincial Department of Health (PDOH), Provincial Integrated Health Office (PIHO), Human Resources for Health (HRH), and the Philippine National Police- Women and their Children’s Protection Desk (PNP-WCPD). The program featured a ceremonial ribbon-cutting and opening of service booths, alongside an inspiring Women Leaders Forum: PEP Talks and Dialogue.

Distinguished leaders who shared their expertise and inspiring messages included Dr. Eva Marie Codamon-Dugyon (President, Ifugao State University), Dr. Cristina R. Salvosa (Vice President for Administration and Finance, Nueva Vizcaya State University), Ms. Ruth R. Padilla (Former Provincial Governor), and Dr. Lucena Laliray P. Caldito (Chief of Hospital, Kasibu Municipal Hospital). A special message was also delivered by Dr. Pretchelle Tolentino, Assistant Regional Director of the Cagayan Valley Center for Health Development.

Simultaneously, a wide range of health service booths provided accessible care, from reproductive health and cancer screening to mental health support, adolescent care, and integrative medicine. These efforts were further strengthened by the distribution of adolescent and hygiene kits sponsored by the Provincial Department of Health, with additional support from R2TMC.

Through these initiatives, R2TMC reaffirms its dedication to women empowerment, dahil 𝙎𝙖 𝘽𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙨, 𝘽𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙩 𝘽𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖..
