CITY OF MALOLOS-Two thousand five hundred Bulakenyos will
gather at Northville, Calumpit on March 21, 2013 at eight in the morning to
avail of the services of Lakbay Buhay Kalusugan caravan, a joint project of the
Provincial Government of Bulacan and the Department of Health.
Bulacan Governor Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado said the
health promotion caravan, which will be set in a fiesta theme aims to give
information and education on maternal and child health care.
“Malaki ang role ng mga kabataan at mga kababaihan lalung
lalo na ang mga ina sa ating lalawigan kaya marapat na bigyang pansin ang
kanilang kalusugan,” the governor said.
Provincial Health Officer Jocelyn Gomez said that LBK
features a bus customized with consultation and examination clinics wherein
there will be talks about the importance of pre-natal check-up, birth planning,
safe pregnancy and delivery, birth spacing, child immunization, hand washing,
prevention of disability and health insurance.
“Bukod dito, mayroon ding interactive exhibit,
storytelling sessions, entertainment shows and games on health,” Gomez added.
Alvarado added that prioritizing health programs also
ensure the province’s continuous progress.
“Hindi mo matatawag na maunlad ang isang lalawigan kung
hindi sapat ang mga programang pangkalusugan. Dahil dito, hindi tayo tumitigil
sa pag-iisip ng mga programang pangkalusugan at pagpapatupad nito dito sa
Bulacan,” Alvarado said.
The Lakbay Buhay Kalusugan is aligned with the Aquino
Health Agenda of universal access to quality health care. ###
