🌍 World AIDS Day 2025

Today, we join the global community in strengthening awareness, compassion, and collective action against HIV and AIDS. This year’s call emphasizes the vital role of families in fostering open conversations on sexual health—because informed and supportive homes build healthier, safer communities.

At the Cauayan Primary Care Facility, we advocate for:
🔹 Non-judgmental discussions about HIV within the household
🔹 Access to accurate information on HIV, sexual health, and prevention
🔹 Guidance for adolescents toward responsible and safe health practices

We encourage every Cauayanon to take part in creating stigma-free spaces and empowering families with the right knowledge.

📍 Visit our DOH HIV Care Facilities for free services, counseling, and education on HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

Together, let us continue overcoming disruption and transforming the AIDS response—one informed family at a time.

ANTIBIOTICS: Gamitin nang Tama!

Hindi lahat ng sakit ay ginagamot ng antibiotics—at hinding-hindi ito dapat ipinapasa o pinapagamit sa iba. Ang maling paggamit at pagbabahagi ng antibiotics ay maaaring magdulot ng antimicrobial resistance (AMR), isang seryosong banta sa kalusugan ng lahat.

💡 Tandaan:
✔ Gamitin lamang ang antibiotics kung nireseta ng lisensyadong doktor.
✔ Sundin ang tamang dose at haba ng gamutan.
✔ Huwag magpahiram, huwag tumanggap ng “sobra” o natirang antibiotics.
✔ Kumonsulta agad sa health facility para sa tamang gabay medikal.

Sa tamang paggamit ng antibiotics, napoprotektahan natin ang ating sarili, ang ating pamilya, at ang buong komunidad.

Handle antimicrobials with care.

Observance of World C.O.P.D. Awareness Day

Every 3rd Wednesday of November, we join the global community in raising awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)—a serious lung condition that makes breathing difficult and affects millions worldwide.

COPD is often caused by long-term exposure to harmful particles and gases, with smoking as the leading risk factor. Early detection, lifestyle changes, and proper medical care can significantly improve quality of life.

As your health partner, the Cauayan Primary Care Facility encourages all Cauayanons to:
🔸 Avoid smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke
🔸 Get regular checkups if you experience chronic cough, shortness of breath, or wheezing
🔸 Seek help early—prevention and timely treatment save lives

If you are a smoker and wish to quit, call the DOH Quitline 1558 for free support.

Let us work together for healthier lungs and a healthier community.

Observance of World Toilet Day — November 19

Every 19th of November, we join the global call to promote safe sanitation and raise awareness on the importance of clean and functional toilets in protecting public health. This year’s theme, “Sanitation in a Changing World,” highlights the need to adapt our sanitation systems to evolving environmental, social, and health challenges.

Safe sanitation is essential in preventing diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, hepatitis A, and other waterborne infections. It is a basic human right that supports dignity, safety, and overall well-being.

As part of our commitment to healthier communities, we encourage all Cauayanons to:
🔹 Practice proper toilet use and maintenance
🔹 Ensure access to clean water and hygienic sanitation facilities
🔹 Wash hands with soap and water after using the toilet
🔹 Support community efforts for improved sanitation and waste management

Together, let us build a cleaner, safer, and healthier Cauayan.

A life free from harmful substances is a life filled with:
✨ clearer goals
✨ healthier relationships
✨ safer communities
✨ brighter futures

Let us work together to build a drug-free, safe, and empowered Cauayan where every person is valued and supported.

Road crashes remain a major public health concern, yet they are preventable. Through responsible driving, safer roads, and collective action, we can save countless lives and protect every Cauayanon from avoidable tragedy.

✔ Be patient and respectful toward other road users
✔ Make sound and responsible decisions on the road
✔ Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
✔ Avoid smoking and substances that impair judgment
✔ Follow traffic signs, speed limits, and pedestrian rules

As we remember, let us also recommit to building safer, more compassionate roads for every Cauayanon.

Road safety is a shared responsibility. Let us protect one another. 🕯️🚧🚗
