SGAFHO AND MSSD PROMOTE ORAL HEALTH AWARENESS DURING FAMILY DAY CELEBRATION
In coordination with the Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD), the SGA Field Health Office (SGAFHO) participated in the Family Day Celebration held at the New Covered Court, Barangay Batulawan, Malidegao.
As part of the celebration, Dr. Annaliza G. Alo of SGAFHO conducted a brief but meaningful Oral Health Awareness Orientation for both parents and children. The session highlighted the importance of proper oral hygiene, regular toothbrushing, and developing healthy hygiene practices at home.
A fluoride application was also provided to the children during the activity to help protect their teeth and promote better oral health.
As part of the initiative, each child and parent received a toothbrush, while the participating Child Development Centers (CDCs) received hand-pump toothpaste, tube toothpaste, and handwashing bar soap to support proper oral and personal hygiene among children.
The activity reflects the importance of inter-agency and community collaboration in promoting the health, well-being, and development of children. Through the combined efforts of SGAFHO and MSSD, families are empowered with practical knowledge and resources that contribute to healthier and safer communities.
Healthy families. Healthy children. Stronger communities.
