COMMUNITY HEALTH IN ACTION | Barangay Buenavista, Bohol – January 9, 2025
The Don Emilio Del Valle Memorial Hospital-Public Health Unit brought essential health services closer to the community through a medical consultation activity in its adopted community, Barangay Buenavista, Bohol.
The activity opened with a health lecture on schistosomiasis led by Dr. Anna Marie L. Damonsong, emphasizing disease prevention and community awareness. This was followed by medical consultations, with the help of Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) who assisted in taking vital signs and coordinating patients.
The service was further strengthened by the support of three visiting medical doctors from Texas, USA. To ensure inclusive care, the PHU team also conducted a home visit to a patient who was unable to travel to the venue.
This initiative highlights PHU’s commitment to delivering accessible, responsive, and community-centered healthcare.
