❤️ WORLD HEART DAY 2026
The Capiz Provincial Health Office (PHO), in partnership with the Department of Health (DOH) and the World Health Organization (WHO), celebrates World Heart Day with a shared commitment to prevent NCDs and achieve our vision of Healthiest Capisnon.
This initiative is part of the priority health agenda of Gov. Fredenil H. Castro, whose commitment to improving the health and well-being of every Capisnon continues to guide our efforts.
The celebration was carried out by the Capiz PHO under my leadership, with PA Atty. Arthur John Biñas representing Gov. Castro, in partnership with DOH CHD VI Regional Director Dr. Mar Wynn Bello and WHO Representative Tyrone Aquino. Our Program Manager at the Capiz PHO, Jay Agarrado, led the event preparations and implementation, together with our dedicated PHO team, contributing greatly to the success of this celebration and strengthening our collective efforts in the prevention, early detection, treatment, and control of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).
Our message is simple:
Know your numbers!
Know your risks!
Take action for your heart!
Hypertension and diabetes can silently affect our health. Through our 80-80-80 NCD approach, we aim to ensure that 80% of Capisnons aged 21 years and above are diagnosed, 80% of those diagnosed are provided appropriate maintenance medications and 80% achieve controlled blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
We encourage every Capisnon to be aware of their risk factors, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, smoking & harmful alcohol use and to visit and avail of the screening, consultation, treatment and follow-up services available through our Primary Care Facilities across the province.
Under my leadership, the Capiz PHO remains committed to bringing healthcare closer to our communities, strengthening prevention and early detection and empowering every Capisnon to take charge of their health.
Because every healthy heartbeat brings us closer to our vision of Healthiest Capisnon.❤️
Lex DOH it with WHO to celebrate World Heart Day in Capiz!✌️
