New ambulance strengthens medical services in Don Marcelino

DOH Davao through its Health Facilities and Equipment Program, turned over a new and fully equipped ambulance to Municipality of Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental. This is a DOH initiative dedicated to modernizing and upgrading public health infrastructure, equipment, and services across Davao Region.

The medical transport vehicle was formally handed over by DOH Davao Management Support Division chief Ms. Anna Aurora Gracita Remolar and Medical Officer of Regulations, Licensing, and Enforcement Division Dr. Naira Mitz W. Ampuan.

The vehicle was received by the local government, represented by Municipal Mayor Hon. Mark Edward Anthony M. Maruya, together with the Municipal Health Officer Dr. Arrah Joyce G. Alvarez.

DOH ensures that local health systems, particularly in rural and underserved areas, have the necessary transport capacity to create a functional referral network. These resources aim to guarantee equitable access to quality health services.

With deepest sadness, the Philippine Red Cross announces the passing of Governor Rosa Rosal.

For over 7 decades, Gov. Rosal devoted her life to the service of the Red Cross. She championed voluntary blood donation across the country, strengthened PRC’s welfare services, and used every platform she had to promote compassion, volunteerism, and the protection of the most vulnerable.

Gov. Rosal leaves behind a legacy of genuine service, dignity, and love for humanity, a legacy that will continue to guide the Philippine Red Cross and inspire generations of volunteers.

Details of the wake will be shared once arrangements have been finalized.

‼️”TRANGKASO BYE-BYE!” CAMPAIGN KONTRA FLU, INILUNSAD NG DOH‼️

Maghugas ng Kamay, Trangkaso Bye-Bye!
Magpahinga sa Bahay, Trangkaso Bye-Bye!
Kumain ng Prutas at Gulay, Trangkaso Bye-Bye!—ito ang mensahe ng DOH sa kampanya nitong “Trangkaso Bye-Bye” na inilunsad bilang bahagi ng tamang edukasyon sa pag-iwas sa trangkaso o flu.

Nauna nang inihayag ng DOH na bagamat walang outbreak, nasa flu-season pa rin ang bansa mula sa panahon ng tag-ulan nitong Hunyo hanggang sa kasalukuyang pagpapalit ng monsoon season papuntang Amihan.

Batay sa latest surveillance ng DOH, nakapagtala ng 6,457 kaso ng Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) mula Setyembre 28 hanggang Oktubre 11, 2025, na 25% mas mababa kumpara sa 8,628 kaso sa kaparehong panahon noong 2024.

Ang ILI ay isang matinding impeksyon sa paghinga na dulot ng mga virus tulad ng Influenza A at B, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), at Rhinovirus.

Sentro sa kampanyang Trankaso Bye-Bye! ang mga simpleng gawain para makaiwas sa pagkakasakit.
