PuroKalusugan in Action | Bringing Quality Healthcare Closer to Every Iliganon
The PuroKalusugan Program of the Department of Health continues to strengthen community-based primary healthcare by bringing essential health services directly to the people. With the active participation of 19 additional barangays in Iligan City, the program expands its reach to ensure that more families have access to quality, equitable, and compassionate healthcare.
Through regular household visits, health assessments, blood pressure monitoring, health education, and early disease detection, healthcare workers and barangay health teams work hand in hand to promote healthier communities. This initiative reflects the shared commitment of the Department of Health, the City Government of Iligan, and local stakeholders to build a healthier, more resilient Iligan—where every family receives the care they deserve, right at their doorstep.

Safe Mommy, Healthy Baby: Buntis Congress 2026

On May 26, 2026, Brgy. Digkilaan in Iligan City came alive with warmth and purpose as the City Health Office, together with the Department of Health (DOH) and the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Iligan City, successfully staged the annual “Safe Mommy, Healthy Baby” Buntis Congress 2026.

Under the meaningful theme “Kalidad na pangangalaga sa Ina, Kalusugan ng sanggol may garantiya” (Quality care for mothers means guaranteed health for babies), the program was crafted to give every pregnant woman the knowledge, awareness, and support they need for a safe pregnancy and healthy delivery.

Participants attended educational sessions covering proper maternal and newborn care practices, as well as the critical role of complete immunization in keeping both mother and child safe. A dedicated lecture on HIV awareness was also shared, ensuring that every mother understood how to protect herself and her unborn baby from preventable health risks. To make the day even more meaningful, each attendee went home with a Mother’s Kit—a practical package of essentials to help them prepare for their journey into motherhood.

More than just an event, the Buntis Congress 2026 stands as a clear promise from Iligan City’s health and local leaders: that quality care will reach every mother, no matter how far she lives, and that every baby gets the best possible start in life.
