Earlier today, May 29, the Rural Health Unit of Allen led by Dr. Daisy F. Abasolo conducted a PuroKalusugan activity at the Lipata Multi-Purpose Hall, Brgy. Lipata, gathering diabetic and hypertensive clients, Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Nutrition Scholars, mothers, and senior citizens.
PuroKalusugan is a flagship program of the Department of Health that aims to bring primary healthcare services closer to communities through health promotion, disease prevention, early detection, and access to essential health services at the barangay level. During the activity, Astrudette Rosales, DMO IV and DOH representative, highlighted the programโs goal of empowering communities to take a more active role in maintaining their health and well-being. Lipata is the first among the ten selected barangays in Allen for the implementation of the program.
Participants received lectures on the 7 Healthy Habits, nutrition, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and physical activity. The activity also included YAKAP registration, vital signs monitoring, medical consultations with free medicines, and the distribution of Oral Health Family Packages.
As part of the activity, a reorganization of the Hypertensive and Diabetic Club was also conducted, including the election of new officers. Also present was Lipata Punong Barangay Hon. Rowena Rustia.
