August 20, 2026
As part of the DOH National Family Planning Month 2026, an advocacy activity and provision of contraceptive implants for women were conducted on August 20, 2026, promoting informed, voluntary, and responsible family planning choices.
πΈ 2026 National Family Planning Month Theme:
βFamily Planning: Empowering Families, Building Healthier Futures.β
Family planning helps individuals and couples make informed decisions about when to have children, how many children to have, and the healthy spacing of pregnancies. Contraceptive implants are a safe and highly effective, long-acting reversible family planning method for eligible women who choose this option after proper counseling.
π Special thanks to our Provincial Health Office Family Planning Coordinator, Maβam Nicea Jalandoni, RN, MMPHA, for her valuable support and guidance in promoting family planning services.
π Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to the nurses, midwives, and other health workers for their dedication and commitment in providing quality, accessible, and client-centered family planning services to women and families.
Empowered women. Informed choices. Healthier families. Stronger communities. π
