🦟 ENTOMOLOGY ACTIVITY IN BARANGAY POBLACION 🏘️💚

✅ Today, the Alcantara Rural Health Unit team conducted an entomology activity in Barangay Poblacion to check for possible mosquito breeding areas in the community.

The team went around different areas to look for mosquito larvae and identify places where mosquitoes may breed. Residents were also reminded about the importance of keeping their surroundings clean, covering water containers, and removing stagnant water to help prevent Dengue and other mosquito-borne diseases.

A big thank you to the Barangay Poblacion BHWs, and our community members for their cooperation and support. 🙏

Let’s continue working together—check your surroundings, remove stagnant water, and protect our families from Dengue. 💪🦟

The Cebu Provincial Government, in partnership with the University of Cebu Medical Center (UCMed), will conduct a free surgical mission at Cebu Provincial Hospital-Carcar as part of the province’s 457th founding anniversary activities.

The initiative aims to bring essential surgical care closer to Cebuanos, particularly residents of Carcar City and neighboring towns who may need major or minor surgical procedures.
Pre-screening for the upcoming surgical mission will be held on Aug. 27-28 and on Sept. 3-4 at the Outpatient Department of Cebu Provincial Hospital-Carcar.

Patients may undergo pre-screening for conditions that may require surgery, including hernia, gallstones, goiter, hemorrhoids, lumps and masses, lipoma and other cysts that may require excision.

The pre-screening process will allow the surgical team to assess patients, determine their eligibility and identify the medical requirements needed before the procedures.

Dr. Nikki Catalan, Capitol Piso Health consultant, said that the partnership with UCMed underscores its continuing efforts to expand access to quality health care and make specialized medical services more accessible to communities across the province.

Dr. Catalan also thanked the UCMed for providing its expertise, time and resources to support the surgical mission and help bring essential surgical care closer to Cebuano families. /𝑪𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑻𝑶𝑳 𝑷𝑰𝑶
