On August 20, 2025, the Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (RESU) of the Department of Health Central Visayas Center for Health Development (DOH-CVCHD) held its 1st Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Awards Ceremony at Mandani Bay, Mandaue City, Cebu.

With the theme: โ€œUpdating Excellence Through Timely, Accurate, and Comprehensive Information Management,โ€ the event recognized exemplary efforts in public health surveillance across the region.

The Larena Primary Care Facility, under the leadership of Dr. Jemma M. Fortich, was honored with both the Silver Award and the Diamond Awardโ€” a testament to the exceptional performance, accuracy, and dedication of the Municipal Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (MESU) in implementing and supporting the surveillance program.

The awards were personally received by Dr. Fortich, together with Ms. Monielyn Lomosad, Public Health Nurse.

This significant milestone would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts and steadfast support of the entire health team and local government.

Special recognition and heartfelt gratitude are extended to the Municipality of Larena headed by Hon. Cyrus Vincent Calibo, Municipal Mayor; Ms. Sherryl Lou Lapinig, NDP Point Person (DOH) ;Ms. Elcie Muncada, Medical Technologist (DOH) and to all the dedicated staff of the Larena Primary Care Facility who have consistently contributed to the success of the surveillance program.

Behind every number is a life, a story, and a responsibility. Thatโ€™s why we believe:
โ€œData are not just numbersโ€”they are people.โ€
