Enhancing Our Health Facility, Strengthening Healthcare Services

The Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP) team of the Department of Health – Center for Health Development Northern Mindanao (DOH-CHD-NM) visited the RHU to evaluate the newly constructed building and the ongoing renovation of the entire facility.

The evaluation included a review of the project, with the team providing feedback and recommendations for minor improvements and additional requirements to further enhance the facility and ensure that it meets the necessary standards.

We sincerely appreciate the Department of Health’s support through the HFEP for the project, which contributes to creating a safer, more functional, and improved healthcare facility for our community.

Protecting our community from Filariasis through proactive surveillance! 🔬🩸

Last August 18, 2026, the Rural Health Unit (RHU) team successfully conducted a Nocturnal Blood Examination (NBE) in Barangay Calamcam. This activity serves as crucial surveillance testing to monitor and eliminate Filariasis within the locality. Because the microfilariae parasites are most active in the bloodstream at night, the team worked diligently through the evening hours to ensure accurate screening.

Alongside the medical testing, an Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) was spearheaded by Sanitary Inspector Lenivette Sanoria. The session focused on educating residents about the prevention, transmission, and symptoms of mosquito-borne diseases, empowering the community to maintain a safer and cleaner environment.

We extend our deep gratitude to the Barangay Local G ba overnment Unit of Calamcam, especially the Barangay Council headed by Barangay Chairperson Hon. Lemuel Enterina, our local health workers, and all the residents who stayed up and participated to prioritize public health. Together, we keep our communities safe and disease-free!

We extend our deepest, heartfelt gratitude to the Barangay Council, our tireless volunteers, our heroic blood donors, and everyone who lent a hand to make this activity a true success.
