OES Dinalupihan conducts ‘Health for All’ activity

Guided by the “Health for All” principle of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Department of Health (DOH), BPSU Dinalupihan campus embarked on a Health Enrichment Program through the university’s Extension Services Office.
The said program, which was led by Mrs. Sylvia B. Pangilinan of the Nursing Department, included health education and medical and dental missions where promotion of preventive and curative levels of health care were emphasized.
The said projects were executed through series of lectures and information dissemination on nutrition, healthy snacks, hygiene, first aid and emergencies. The dental and medical missions were administered by Dr. and Mrs. Roberto del Rosario.
Preschoolers and schoolchildren of Barangay San Simon, Barangay Sapang Balas and Barangay Pentor (which covers Purok Candelaria, Purok Lipat-tulay, and Purok Torres Extension) were the beneficiaries.
Participants are expected to take an active role in their health, do self care and share decision-making and help them understand their health options.
The project was also in collaboration with the Municipal Health Office, Office of the Mayor of Dinalupihan, the Municipal Social Welfare Development Office (MSWDO) and Barangay Council members of the three recipient barangays.
