Good day, Sogoranon.

This post aims to provide clear and accurate information to prevent the spread of misinformation and to uphold the trust our patients have given us throughout the years. We assure everyone that this matter will be thoroughly investigated.

First:
To clarify, we have not conducted any HIV Testing and Counseling activities for the LGBTQ+ community in Barangay Calumboyan. Our HIV Testing and Counseling services were conducted exclusively for pregnant mothers in the barangay as part of routine maternal health services.

Second:
In accordance with Republic Act 11166, also known as the Philippine HIV and AIDS Policy Act, Article VI Section 44 emphasizes the confidentiality and privacy of any individual who has undergone HIV testing. Furthermore, Article VII Section 50 states that any violation of Section 44 regarding confidentiality shall be subject to corresponding penalties. We strictly adhere to these provisions to protect our clients’ privacy and to maintain the integrity of our health services.

Through this post, we hope to provide clarity and help stop the spread of misinformation, as such misinformation may harm the reputation, integrity, and trust we have built within our community.

We kindly ask for your support in sharing this post to prevent further misinformation.

Thank you, and good day.

Ang RHU-Sogod magpahigayon og Foodpack Distribution karong Martes, Septiyembre 30, 2025, alang sa tanan nato nga pasyente nga kasamtangan nga nagapa-tambal batok Tuberculosis (TB).

Kini nga programa usa ka dakong tabang aron matabangan ang pasyente nga adunay igong pagkaon samtang nagpadayon sa ilang tambal ug pagpabakuna. Ang husto nga nutrisyon usa ka importante nga bahin sa pagtambal kay makatabang kini sa pagpalig-on sa lawas ug pagsuporta sa immune system.

Pinaagi niini, atong ginaatiman dili lang ang tambal kundi apil usab ang pagkaon sa atong mga pasyente. Usa kini ka paningkamot sa RHU-Sogod ug sa lokal nga kagamhanan aron ipakita nga adunay suporta ug paglaum para sa tanan nga nag-abang sa sakit nga TB.

As part of her commitment to improving healthcare services for Cebuanos, Governor Pamela Baricuatro announced that the Province of Cebu will conduct a series of major and minor surgical missions throughout August as part of the activities lined up in celebration of the province’s 456th Founding Anniversary.

In a press briefing on July 30, Governor Baricuatro said the province’s Serbisyo Karaban next month will focus on medical and surgical missions held every weekend, particularly in key areas such as the islands of Bantayan and Camotes, and the four provincial hospitals in the cities of Bogo, Danao, Carcar, and the town of Balamban.

“These are not just ordinary medical missions—these will include surgical procedures,” the governor said.

Dr. Elisse Nicole Catalan, Capitol piso consultant for health, detailed the procedures to be offered during the missions.

Here is the schedule for the Medical and Surgical Missions:

August 7–8 – Poro and Pilar in Camotes Islands (in coordination with PhilHealth Konsulta)

August 9–10 – Cebu Provincial Hospital – Bogo (in partnership with Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital, SuiGeneris Inc., and the Emergency Rescue Unit Foundation)

August 15–16 – Bantayan District Hospital

August 16–17 – Cebu Provincial Hospital – Danao (in partnership with Chong Hua Hospital and University of Cebu Medical Center)

August 23–24 – Cebu Provincial Hospital – Balamban (with All- Terrain Medical Relief Organization)

August 30–31 – Cebu Provincial Hospital – Carcar (in partnership with Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center)

Major surgeries will include thyroid and breast surgery, hernia repair, gastrostomy, peri-a**l abscess treatment, gallbladder surgery, a**l fistula and hemorrhoid surgery, orthopedic procedures, and parotid gland (bayook) removal. Minor surgeries will focus on the removal of cysts or small growths (bukol-bukol or bugon).

Dr. Catalan described the initiative as a large-scale effort that prioritizes surgical services alongside medical consultations.

She also highlighted the involvement of highly qualified volunteer doctors who are eager to extend help to underserved communities.Each mission aims to accommodate at least 30 surgical patients per site, with more slots available for medical consultations. Interested patients are advised to coordinate with the nearest Capitol-run hospital or their local government unit for pre-screening.

Priority will be given to indigent patients.Dr. Catalan also appealed for public understanding, anticipating a large number of patients who may not be accommodated due to limited slots.

“Mangayo lang mig pasensya daan kay I’m pretty sure daghan gyod ni moduol at the same time,” Dr. Catalan said.

While recognizing that medical missions are temporary solutions to gaps in the province’s healthcare system, Dr. Catalan expressed hope that the Capitol will be able to sustain the program in the long run with the necessary funding and institutional support. “

"Missions are stop-gap solutions kay kuwang paman gud ta in healthcare services. So for the meantime, kato gyong urgently naa, unta matagaan,” she said. | 𝑪𝒆𝒃𝒖 𝑷𝑰𝑶
