Ang Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) at Type 2 Diabetes ay magkaugnay โ€” hindi lang sa pangalan, kundi pati sa epekto sa kalusugan ng kababaihan! Ang GDM ay nangyayari sa pagbubuntis kapag hindi sapat ang insulin ng katawan, kaya tumataas ang blood sugar. Ang Type 2 Diabetes naman ay kapag nagiging resistant o kulang ang insulin ng katawan sa pag-control ng blood sugar.

Sa mga larawang ito, makikita ang mga IRH site monitors katuwang ang mga Barangay health workers habang nagsasagawa ng follow-up at monitoring sa mga nanay na nagkaroon ng GDM, 6โ€“12 weeks matapos manganak. 1 sa bawat 2 nanay na nagkaroon ng GDM ay maaaring magkaroon ng Type 2 Diabetes sa loob ng 5โ€“10 years pagkatapos manganak. Kaya mahalaga ang regular na follow-up, tamang pagkain, at aktibong pamumuhay โ€” kahit tapos na ang pagbubuntis! Isang hakbang ito tungo sa mas malusog na kinabukasan para sa mga kababaihan!

She was joined by inspiring leaders whose collaboration with IRH has shaped real and lasting impact:

During the IRH@25 Anniversary Celebration, Prof. Xavier Alpasa delivered a powerful keynote message that resonated deeply with our mission and our partners. He reminded us that meaningful change does not happen in isolation โ€” it happens when communities, organizations, and individuals unite with a shared purpose. True impact, he emphasized, is strengthened by collaboration built on trust, compassion, and a commitment to serve those most in need.

Prof. Alpasa highlighted how partnerships grounded in evidence, innovation, and empathy can create lasting improvements in health and well-being. His message challenged us to always look beyond programs and outputs, and instead focus on the human lives transformed through our collective efforts. It was both a celebration of what has been achieved and a call to courage โ€” to keep pushing forward, to keep strengthening alliances, and to keep shaping a better future for Filipino families.

We are deeply grateful to Prof. Alpasa for inspiring us with his wisdom and belief in the work of NGOs like IRH. His call to elevate collaboration fuels our passion to continue nurturing friendships, strengthening partnerships, and shaping futures that thrive.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Stay connected and be part of the mission. Follow IRH as we continue advancing impactful reproductive health initiatives with communities and partners nationwide.

For the past twenty-five years, the Institute for Reproductive Health (IRH) has walked alongside communities, partners, and advocates in advancing responsible parenthood, reproductive health, and the well-being of Filipino families.

This celebration marked more than a milestone โ€”
it honored a shared journey of perseverance, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to service. Throughout two and a half decades, IRH has supported families in making informed and empowered decisions, strengthened health systems and community engagement, pioneered innovative models of care such as the GDM and NFP initiatives, built strong partnerships grounded in shared values and mutual respect, and helped shape a future where every mother, child, and family can thrive.

During our 25th Anniversary Celebration, we relived IRHโ€™s achievements despite the challenges through the years โ€” honoring the milestones, faces, and stories that have shaped our journey โ€” while also looking ahead to the path before us. The program featured a meaningful keynote address on impactful NGO partnerships, inspiring insights from panel interviewees and collaborators, the launch of the new publication "A Baby Now? Not Now? Not Ever??", recognition of partners and champions who continue to advance the mission, and a renewed commitment to strengthening the future of reproductive health and family well-being in the Philippines.

To everyone who has been part of this journey โ€”
we express our deepest gratitude. ๐˜๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ, ๐๐ž๐๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐Ÿ ๐ข๐ง ๐ˆ๐‘๐‡ ๐ก๐š๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ž๐ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐š๐ซ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ๐๐š๐ฒ.
