Empowering the Frontlines: Barangay Health Workers Training

Recognizing that true health progress begins at the grassroots, the City Health Office spearheaded a two-batch training for Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) on Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE), Social and Behavior Change (SBC), and Universal Health Care (UHC).

This multi-day capacity-building activity aimed to strengthen the BHWs’ vital role as frontline communicators, community mobilizers, and champions of Universal Health Care in their respective barangays.

Throughout the training, participants engaged in a series of dynamic discussions, workshops, and simulation exercises designed to strengthen their competencies in effective communication, community mobilization, and behavior change advocacy. Modules on RCCE and SBC emphasized how accurate information, clear messaging, and active engagement can dispel myths, inspire action, and build lasting health resilience.

Equally highlighted was the Universal Health Care framework, where BHWs were reoriented on their integral function in primary care linkages, health promotion, and community referral systems—ensuring that every citizen receives equitable and continuous health service.

With the combined guidance of facilitators from the City Health Office, the training culminated in a renewed commitment among BHWs to uphold their mission as frontline champions of UHC—empowered, informed, and ever ready to serve the people with compassion and integrity.

As Typhoon Tino brought heavy rains and strong winds across the city, the City Health Office promptly activated its Health Emergency Response Team to ensure that essential health services remained available to the public.

At the frontline of this effort were our Medical Officers, Public Health Nurses, Midwives, Sanitation Inspectors, and Ambulance Drivers, who worked hand in hand to safeguard the health and well-being of our people.

These coordinated efforts embody the unwavering commitment of the City Health Office to deliver essential health services where they are needed most. Even as Typhoon Tino challenged both endurance and logistics, the office remained steadfast in its mission — To serve the people with compassion and efficiency, ensuring that every affected family received the care, protection and dignity they deserve.

Through teamwork, preparedness, and dedication, the City Health Office reaffirmed that true public health service is not driven by recognition, but by genuine concern for the welfare of the community.

✅ Strengthen immunity through proper nutrition and vaccination

If symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, or body pain occur, stay home and seek medical care immediately.
