17/05/2026

Today is World Hypertension Day.
High blood pressure - or hypertension - often shows no warning signs, yet it increases the risk for heart disease, stroke, blindness, dementia, and other complications.

A simple blood pressure check can be life-saving.

Getting your blood pressure measured the right way helps ensure accurate results.
Incorrect positions can lead to incorrect readings.

✔ Sit with your back supported
✔ Legs uncrossed and feet flat on the floor
✔ Arm supported with the cuff at heart level
✔ Use correct cuff size
✔ Rest for at least 5 minutes before the reading
✔ Do not talk during or between measurements
✔ Avoid exercise, tea/coffee, and smoking for at least 30 minutes before reading

Small steps can make a big difference in protecting your health.

Patuloy na umiikot ang serbisyo, malasakit, at adhikain para sa mas malusog na komunidad sa Week 2 ng May Measurement Month 2026 sa Bayan ng Virac. 🫀

Sa sama-samang pagkilos ng Municipal Health Office, mga barangay health workers, at mamamayan ng Virac, mas pinalalakas natin ang kampanya laban sa hypertension sa pamamagitan ng libreng blood pressure screening at health awareness activities.

Bawat presyong nasusukat ay pagkakataong makaiwas sa komplikasyon at makapagligtas ng buhay.

📢 PAALALA SA KALUSUGAN NG PUBLIKO

Dahil sa pagtaas ng bilang ng kaso ng pagtatae (diarrhea) sa ating komunidad, pinaaalalahanan ng Rural Health Unit ang lahat na panatilihin ang tamang kalinisan at sanitasyon upang maiwasan ang pagkalat ng sakit.

🛑 Paano mapoprotektahan ang sarili at pamilya:

🍽 1. Panatilihin ang Kaligtasan ng Pagkain
• Hugasan nang mabuti ang prutas at gulay bago kainin
• Lutuin nang mabuti ang pagkain lalo na ang karne at lamang-dagat
• Kumain ng bagong lutong pagkain at iwasan ang panis o nakatiwangwang na pagkain
• Takpan ang pagkain upang maiwasan ang kontaminasyon mula sa langaw at insekto

🧼 2. Tamang Paghuhugas ng Kamay
Maghugas ng kamay gamit ang sabon at malinis na tubig:
• Bago maghanda at kumain ng pagkain
• Pagkatapos gumamit ng palikuran
• Pagkatapos magpalit ng diaper o maglinis ng bata
• Pagkatapos humawak ng basura o hayop

🗑 3. Tamang Pagtatapon ng Basura
• Itapon ang basura sa tamang lalagyan
• Panatilihing malinis ang paligid upang maiwasan ang langaw at peste
• Huwag magtapon ng basura sa kanal, ilog, o bukas na lugar

💧 4. Uminom ng Malinis at Ligtas na Tubig
• Pakuluan ang inuming tubig nang hindi bababa sa 2–3 minuto kung hindi tiyak ang kalinisan nito
• Gumamit ng malinis at may takip na lalagyan ng tubig
• Iwasang uminom mula sa hindi ligtas o hindi kilalang pinagkukunan ng tubig

⚠️ Agad magpakonsulta sa health center kung nakararanas ng madalas na pagtatae, pagsusuka, lagnat, o senyales ng dehydration, lalo na sa mga bata at matatanda.

💚 Magtulungan tayo upang mapanatiling ligtas at malusog ang ating komunidad.

Matagumpay na isinagawa sa bayan ng Virac ang unang linggo (Week 1-[May 1-9, 2026]) ng May Measurement Month 2026 Campaign — isang makabuluhang hakbang sa pagsusulong ng mas malusog at mas ligtas na komunidad.

Sa bawat barangay na napuntahan, bawat blood pressure na nasuri, at bawat mamamayang nakiisa, muling pinatunayan na ang kalusugan ay isang sama-samang responsibilidad. Hindi lamang ito kampanya laban sa hypertension, kundi isang kilusan ng pag-asa, malasakit, at pagbibigay-halaga sa bawat tibok ng puso.

Patuloy nating palakasin ang kamalayan, hikayatin ang regular na pagpapasuri, at ilapit ang serbisyong pangkalusugan sa bawat mamamayan — dahil ang simpleng pagsukat ngayon ay maaaring makapagsalba ng buhay.
