Only when we sow tough, plant patiently, and

toil harder, where we enjoy our HARVESTS,
the fruits of our labors. True to this, it is now
the time for us at the Department of HealthCenter for Health Development III (DOH-CHD

we recognize the value of sharing our
fruitages, we dedicate this annual report to
you, our stakeholders, co-implementers, and
to the citizens of Central Luzon.
Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (KP) embodies our
mission as health service providers to deliver
affordable, accessible, and quality healthcare
to our constituents, our primordial reason for
chasing excellence in our service delivery.
Hence, to be truly successful in this attempt,
we shall realize that in this journey, no one
should be left behind. The heart of Universal
Health Care is us, we, together, trudging the
road to and for health.
This DOH-CHD 3 Annual Report emphasizes
our accomplishments for the year 2012. It aims
to present our various programs, drives, and
activities geared toward the attainment of KP,
particularly in pursuant of its three main
thrusts: 1) Financial Risk Protection, 2)
Improved Access to Quality Hospitals and
Health Care Facilities, and
3) Attainment of Health-Related Millennium

Development Goals (MDGs).
This also contains vital health statistics which
are intended to empirically provide valid data
for health information and dissemination.
Furthermore, this document highlights our

partners contribution, accentuating our
collaborative approach in our every health
endeavour.
Ergo, the moment of yesterday is our daylight
for today, and tomorrow is the dream we are
creating today. To simply put, today is the
time that destiny gives us the pleasure to act,
to inspire, and to serve.
Thus, I hope that through this, we shall reach
you better and you shall reach us more in
return.
To everyone, MABUHAY!

Director IV, CHD - Central Luzon
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The Board of Health, the countrys first established
institution for health, was formally founded on
September 29, 1898 under General Order No. 15.
Since then, the institution has undergone several
major transitions and reorganizations, including the
implementation of regionalization in 1959.
Used to be a part of the Regional Health Office No.
4 circa 1967, on September 1, 1974, Central Luzon
was weaned away from its mother region, and the
Regional Health Office No. 3 (RHO 3) was
established at the regions capital, City of San
Fernando, Pampanga.
In 1982, under Executive Order No. 851, the health

department (then is known as the Ministry of
Health) underwent organization and functional
changes, specifically integrating the preventive,
promotive, curative, and rehabilitative functions
into its scheme of health service delivery. With this
reorganization, the Regional Health Office was
renamed as Regional Health Services (RHS), and
this was headed by a Regional Director.
In the advent of the People Power Movement in
1986, streamlining bureaucracy, another light at
the end of the tunnel brought changes in the
government, thus also recognizing the need for
some health sector reforms. With the issuance of
Executive Order No. 199 in 1987, the Ministry of

Health was once again renamed to Department of
Health (DOH), and the regional offices into DOH Integrated Regional Field Offices (DIRFOs).
As per the 1987 Constitution, the DIFRO 3 fulfilled
its mandate of making essential goods, health, and
other services available to all people at affordable
costs, with priority for the needs of the
underprivileged, sick, elderly, disabled, women, and
children.
On the other hand, with the implementation of the
Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), the
mandate of DOH and its regional offices changed
from program implementation to policy
formulation, planning, regulatory services, and the
provision of technical assistance to local
government units (LGUs). However, the regional
offices will take charge of the health service
delivery in case of declaration of disaster, and upon
the request of local chief executives (LCEs).
To further reach service recipients, in the late
1990s, Regional Extension Offices (REOs) were
established in the different provinces of the region.
Headed by the Provincial Health Team Leaders
(PHTLs), these REOs provided the link between
the regional office and the LGUs.
4
On the advent of the new millennium (year 2000), the
DOH experienced further restructuring with the
implementation of Executive Order No. 102, redirecting
its functions and operations in view of the devolution
of basic health services to the LGUs.
In this juncture, regional offices were further renamed
as Centers for Health Development (CHDs) with
functions focused on policy development, regulations
and licensing enforcement, provision of technical and
logistic assistance, (including advocacy, monitoring
and evaluation), and resource management.
By the year 2003, to ensure efficient and effective
health service delivery, another major reorganization
was experienced by the CHD 3 in pursuant to Executive
Order No. 103. Particularly, former President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo included the province of Aurora
(previously a part of Region 4) as a part of Region 3
under the CHD-Central Luzon among other six
provinces (Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga,
Tarlac, and Zambales).

PhilHealth Desks facilitate and assist enrollment;
provide information on the members benefits,
entitlements and obligations; and clarify PhilHealth
processes in hospitals.
PHILHEALTH OFFICER IN LEVEL 2

AND 3 HOSPITALS
According to Licensing Division of CHD 3, based on
the new hospital classifications, a PhilHealth Officer
is now being deployed for level 2 and 3 hospitals.
PHILHEALTH EXPRESS
An increase in the percentage of utilization (from 3.42% to 4.70%) is due

to the introduction of new benefit packages.
As stipulated in RA 7875, the Philippine Health

Insurance Corporation (PHIC) or PhilHealth is a taxexempt government company attached to the
Department of Health (DOH) for policy coordination
and guidance.
Thus, being a partner agency and a primary mover
for the attainment of the Thrust 1 of the Kalusugan
Pangkalahatan (KP) , which is financial risk
protection, the following are the other significant
PhilHealth Express Centers are satellite offices of

the PHIC strategically placed on different malls.

Participation in the Pharmaceutical Inspection
Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S)
To assess the CHD 3-FDAs preparedness to the
PIC/S and ISO 9001-2008, an audit was done by
FDA Alabang on August.
With the findings, technical assistance was
provided to CHD 3. Quality Manual, Inspectorate
Manual, and Quality Work Procedure (QWP)
were exhaustively discussed.
21 QWP were finalized and approved by the
Division Chief and are now in the process of
implementation.
In September 10-14, the FDA Philippines was
assessed for conformance to PIC/S by the
following assessors:
Bertrand Perrin from France (lead
rapporteur) Sulaiman Haji of Malaysia (corapporteur)

DENTAL LABORATORY LICENSING

AND REGULATIONS
Background
Issuance of Licenses for Dental Laboratories
Administrative Order No. 2008-0010 (Revised Rules

and Regulations re: The Registration and Licensure of
Dental Laboratories in the Philippines) categorized
dental prosthetic laboratories (DPLs) into four
service capabilities, which are: a) Removable
Prostheses Services, b) Fixed Prostheses Services, c)
Removable and Fixed Prostheses Services, and d)
Limited Services.
A total of 20 applications were received for the year.

10 out of which were for issuance of initial
license (change of location, newly applied and
expired LTO) and the rest were for renewal of the
three years LTO.
As of 2012, Region 3 has a total of 72 licensed DPLs

(24 Removable Prostheses, 5 Fixed Prostheses and 43
Removable and Fixed Prostheses). 28 out of those
are under the supervision of dental technologists,
and the rest are under the supervision of licensed
dentists.
Eight out of 10 new applicants and nine out of 10 who

applied for renewal were issued LTO. Because of
some technicalities, the others were not licensed, but
were given recommendations for them to comply for
facilitation.
Capability Building
Consultative Meeting/ Orientation on Infection
Control in DPL was conducted last June 28-29. Ms.
Evangelita America of Philippine Infection Control
Society, together with Director Teodoro Gatchalian
of TESDA and Dr. Ruby Serrano of BHFS-DOH Manila,
were invited as resource speakers.
Monitoring/Inspection
A total of 63 dental laboratories were monitored to
ensure compliance to standards.
During the monitoring, four dental laboratories were
surveyed without license to operate and were
advised to secure LTO. Three of the said laboratories
were initially inspected upon applying
to validate the accuracy and merit of the submitted
documents.
Some aspects on the issuance of Certificate of

Competency from TESDA and the stand of the BHFS
regarding the issuance of LTO to facilities without
dental technologists were tackled. There, it was
clearly explained that an LTO can be issued to a
dental laboratory even if there is no dental
technologist supervisor as long as there is a notarized
Memorandum of Agreement between the owner of
the facility and a licensed dentist, stipulating that the
dentist will act as the supervisor of the dental
prosthetic laboratory.
Election of officers for the Regional Dental Technician
Association was also done.

HUMAN RESOURCES FOR HEALTH

Committed to the achievement of Universal Health
Care through access to professional health care
providers, the Department of Health-Center for
Health Development III (DOH-CHD 3) continuously
engage in activities geared towards developing
management capabilities, improving technical
assistance, and deployment of human resources for
health.
REGISTERED NURSES FOR HEALTH

ENHANCEMENT AND LOCAL SERVICE
(RNHEALS)
The RNheals Project was conceptualized in
response to the countrys constitutional mandate to
make essential health goods and social services
available to all Filipinos, especially the poor. This
program deploys registered nurses in areas where
nursing services are mostly ended.
On the part of the nurses, this is considered as a
learning and development opportunity more than
an employment, thus making the nurses employed
under this program as service trainees receiving
stipends from DOH.

RURAL HEALTH MIDWIVES PLACEMENT

PROGRAM (RHMPP)
The Rural Health Team Placement Program (RHTTP) of
DOH has created a pool of registered midwives with
clinical and public health competencies to provide
quality healthcare services with focus on Maternal,
Newborn, and Child Health Nutrition (MNCHN).
These midwives are deployed in rural health units
(RHUs) and/or Basic Emergency Obstetric Newborn
Care (BEmONC) facilities, particularly to the far-flung
areas of the country, under the Rural Health Midwives
Placement Program Training cum Deployment
(RHMPP-TcD).

PROVINCE
To address the doctorless communities and to

respond to the lacking adequate health services
resulting in high mortality and morbidity rates in
these areas, the DTTB program was established by
DOH in 1993.
This program visions that all municipalities in the
Philippines shall have doctors to respond to the
growing health needs of the people over time.
Thus, its mission is to deploy competent,
committed, people-oriented, and dedicated
doctors to the communities.
Being sponsored by the DOH for their 4-year
medical scholarship program, the DTTBs are
required to render 2 years of service in their
deployed community, and they have the option to
continue if they opted to or if the local
government will offer them a position as a local
health officer.

FAMILY PLANNING
PROGRAM
Family Planning (FP) remains to be one of the flagship programs of the
health department.
As a program support, CHD 3 procured FP commodities using Maternal,
Neonatal, Child Health, and Nutrition (MNCHN) grant to augment the
needs of the LGUs with priority to the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT )
areas.
In 2012, the LGUs that procured FP commodities using LGU funds are 2 out
of 7 provinces; 6 out of 13 cities; and 42 out of 117 municipalities.
Compliance to Informed Choice and Voluntarism (ICV) is also continuously
being monitored. No ICV violation was noted.
For capacity building, seven batches of Family Planning Competency-Based
Training (FPCBT) Level I (156pax) and one batch of FPCBT Level II (22pax)
were conducted for doctors and nurses region-wide.
NUTRITION PROGRAM
Nutrition is a major determinant of ones health and well-being. The
Department of Health (DOH), through the Centers for Health
Development (CHDs), continues to strengthen the delivery of nutrition
services by capacitating the service providers and service supervisors, as
well as providing augmentation for essential program requirements.
27
Nutrition in Emergency
Nutrition coordinators and nutrition officers from all
provinces, cities, and 28 disaster-prone municipalities
were trained on nutrition management during
disasters and emergencies.
Infant Feeding in Emergency

This activity aims to emphasize the importance of
breastfeeding, especially during disasters and
calamities.
Child Injury Prevention through Administration of

Safe Setting Tools
The training aims to assess if homes, schools, and
communities meet the standards of safety, and so
making the childs environment conducive to
development.
In the said activity, according to the speakers,

common child injuries, which may lead to
childrens death, include road traffic injury,
drowning, falls, suffocation, and cuts from sharp
objects.
To ensure compliance to program standards, the
following training activities were conducted in
2012:
Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF)

Counselling: An Integrated Course
The Global Strategy for IYCF recommends that
infants must be breastfed for the first six months.
Hence, all rural health units (RHUs) were
capacitated to implement the recommended
feeding practices for the infant and young child.
Also, 16 government hospitals nutritionistdietitians underwent training to help the health
department in disseminating and educating
mothers on proper breastfeeding.
Operation Timbang
Operation Timbang is an annual activity being

conducted in all municipalities in the region to
identify undernourished children. This activity is
facilitated by different RHUs, barangay health
stations (BHSs), and other participating agencies
and volunteers.
In 2012, various offices and units covered a total of
963, 981 children in the seven provinces and 382,
298 children aged 0 to 71 months for 13 cities.

NEWBORN SCREENING PROGRAM

Based from regional statistics,
85,598 (41.63%)
out of 205,626 live births were screened.
Meeting with the Volunteer Youth Leaders for

Health [VLYH] (October 19)
The Center for Health Development III (CHD 3), in
partnership with the Newborn Screening Center
Central Luzon (NSCCL), organized a regional
meeting to gather all the VYLH in mobilizing them
towards health work. Their advocacy focuses on 3
health concerns namely: (1) Folic Acid
Supplementation, (2) Newborn Screening, and (3)
Care for Rare. With the pioneer volunteer youth
leaders, they were able to invite and orient new
recruits to join this noble attempt.
Newborn Screening Orientations

Prioritizing health workers from the rural health
units (RHUs), seven batches of Newborn Screening
Orientations (265 participants) were conducted.
Consultative Planning Workshops
(November 16 and 23)
Newborn Screening (NBS) aims to give newborns a
chance to live a normal life by providing the
opportunity for early detection of congenital
metabolic disorders which, if left untreated, may
lead to mental retardation and even death.
Thus, in this health attempt, private registered
midwives with birthing homes/lying-in clinics play an
important role in the care of newborns and in the
institutionalization of newborn screening in their
facilities.
Hence, two batches of Consultative Planning
Workshop for Private Practicing Midwives were
conducted to encourage and get their full
commitment on the implementation of the
Newborn Screening Program.
The activity involves lectures about the history,

advocacies, introduction of the NBS-Central Luzon
situationer, sharing of experiences, and interactive
games. Also, present in the activity were the overall
secretariat of the program from UP-Manila, who
imparted encouragement to the new recruits and
shared their best practices regarding the program
implementation of other regions, thus motivating
them to replicate and be innovative on their
approaches. With the guidance of the advisers, the
volunteers were highly encouraged on pushing for
the advocacy in their respective communities and
universities.
The activity also emphasized that there should be
an open communication between the CHD 3, NSCCL
and the VYLH with regards to the youths planned
activities for recognition and documentation.
Buntis Day in Angeles City (November 14)

As part of the CHD 3 advocacy in empowering our
fellow citizens through information dissemination,
particularly our indigent populace, the DOH-CHD 3
conducted a Buntis Day for pregnant mothers to
advocate the health benefits of the different DOH
programs.

Globally, the epidemic of non-communicable chronic diseases threatens

economic and social development and the lives and health of millions of
people. In 2005, an estimated 35 million people worldwide died from
chronic diseases, doubling the number of deaths from all infectious
diseases, maternal and perinatal conditions, and nutritional deficiencies
combined. In 2015, deaths due to chronic diseases are projected to increase
by 17%.
In the Philippines, NCDs are among the top killers and cause more than half
of all deaths annually. Hypertension and diseases of the heart are among
the ten leading causes of illness each year. The same panorama pictures
the Central Luzons situation. Particularly, prevalence of risk factors,
particularly tobacco and alcohol use, unhealthy diet, and sedentary lifestyle
are high among adults and increasing among adolescents and children.
As a response to this growing challenge, the Center for Health Development
III (CHD 3) continuously invests towards the promotion of healthy lifestyle
which aims to increase the awareness of the people on the common risk
factors on NCDs.
In the year 2012, the following are the significant activities/accomplishments
of the CHD 3 on these advocacies:
Combating NCDs
Cancer Prevention: Promotion and aid provision on the following
interventions: Hepatitis B Immunization for liver cancer, Visual
Inspection with Acetic Acid for cervical cancer and treatment of precancerous lesions.
Cardiovascular diseases and diabetes: Multi-drug therapy for individuals
who have had heart attack or stroke, and to persons high-risk of a
cardiovascular event.
Promotion of health lifestyle activities across age-groups
7 lifestyle training courses and 22 orientations on the importance of the
prevention of NCDs. These include public awareness programs about
diet and physical activity.
Summer Camp ni Lolo at Lola Training (April 17-20)
Individualized-based interventions addressing the NCDs in primary care

and adoption of the World Health Organization
(WHO) Standard Clinical Management Guidelines
on Dengue Management and Vector Surveillance
were conducted. Regular updates on dengue
status in Central Luzon were also facilitated to
sustain the awareness of the people about dengue
prevention.
For the year 2012, different strategies were

implemented to achieve a remarkable decrease of
cases by 73% compared to 2011 cases. No death from
malaria was reported.
The decrease in morbidity and no mortality regional
situation can be attributed to the implementation of
the following key strategies:
Stratification of areas and priority settings
through provincial and regional program
implementation reviews and stratification
workshops
Constant monitoring of the program
implementation at the grassroots level through
regular task force meetings, provision of
technical assistance, and conduct of monitoring
and evaluation workshops region-wide
Inter- border operations activities and provision
of needed commodities like insecticides for IRS

for the vulnerable population
Capability building on the diagnosis and
treatment through the conduct of training/
refresher courses on basic malaria management,
basic malaria microscopy, and combo RDT
Advocacy activities like meeting with the local
chief executives (LCEs) and other stakeholders
to promote and sustain the prevention and
control of malaria in the community and through
awareness campaigns like the celebration of the
World Malaria Day in April and the Malaria
Awareness Month in November
Program management enhancement through
national program implementation reviews done
periodically.

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND SURVEILLANCE

The Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit
(RESU) is the unit responsible for maintaining a
disease surveillance system to continuously assess the
health status of the region. The data that it collects is
processed into information utilized by public health
managers to aid them in implementing prevention and
control measures, program monitoring, and to
prevent possible outbreaks and the occurrence of
similar events in the future. Utilizing epidemiologic
principles as well as data analysis, the RESU also
functions as an early warning system for possible
epidemics.
Since its introduction in 2009, the RESU has been
implementing the Philippine Integrated Disease
Surveillance and Response (PIDSR) in its collection,
analysis, dissemination, and response functions.
PIDSR is an integrated approach to surveillance and
response from all the levels of the health care system.
The system monitors 25 notifiable diseases,
syndromes, and/or conditions reported by different
trained disease reporting units (DRUs) regularly.
Notifiable diseases under PIDSR are divided into two
categories (a. Immediately notifiable-for diseases
which should be reported within 24 hours and b.
Weekly notifiable- for diseases reported within the
week) depending on the urgency of the specific
disease to be reported.
The following are the various activities that were
conducted by RESU in the year 2012:
In line with its mandate of establishing,
maintaining, and strengthening epidemiology and
surveillance units, the RESU had conducted
numbers of training on Basic Epidemiology and
Surveillance for untrained health staff at the local
level.
Likewise, it has conducted PIDSR training courses

for untrained health personnel. These aim to teach
participants on various technicalities regarding the
PIDSRs operationalization.
To monitor the needs and gaps of the PIDSR
reporting units, the RESU conducted semi-annual
and annual program implementation reviews
(PIR).
Disease surveillance being one of its core
functions, the RESU worked hand-in-hand with the
Health Emergency Management System during
times of disaster. Common diseases reported
during the Habagat aftermath were leptospirosis,
dengue, and diarrhea.
Since the RESU monitors vaccine-preventable
diseases such as polio, measles, tetanus,
diphtheria, and pertussis, it works closely with the
immunization program in providing information on
outbreaks of these diseases. Several measles
outbreaks were investigated together with the
Expanded Program for Immunization (EPI )
program coordinator.
Before the end of the year, an accidental
puncturing of an oil pipeline in Dinalupihan, Bataan
occurred. The RESU, together with the Bataan
Provincial Health Office (PHO) and Provincial
Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (PESU),
assisted in determining the extent of the oil spill as
well as its possible health effects to the local
community.

FIELD HEALTH SERVICE INFORMATION SYSTEM

As per Executive Order No. 352, the Field Health Service
Information System (FHSIS) was designated as the
official system of the Department of Health and was
included by the National Statistical Coordination Board
(NSCB) in a system of designated statistics. 1992 marked
its full implementation (nationwide), and over time, it
had undergone series of modifications and revisions. To
date, it evolved into Electronic Field Health Service
Information System (eFHSIS).
For 2012, series of activities were conducted in
compliance with Administrative Order 2011-0010
(Reporting of FHSIS Data to the DOH-Central Office).
In October of 2012, three batches of training on eFHSIS
were conducted among doctors, nurses, midwives, and
encoders region-wide. A total of 102 participants were
equipped with eFHSIS technical know-how and
computer desktops. This training aimed at improving the

availability, quality, and use of health information for
improved efficiency and effectiveness of health
programs.
Below are regular FHSIS activities done year-round:
2011 Annual Report
2012 Projected Population (from the barangay to the
provincial level)
ICD Coding of Mortality and Morbidity Data
Classification, Consolidation, and Ranking of Mortality
and Morbidity Data
Monthly Encoding and Validation of eFHSIS Report
Monthly Uploading of Database to IMS-DOH
Quarterly Data Consolidation
Maintenance of eFHSIS Database (2009 2012)
COLLABORATING CENTER FOR

DISEASE PREVENTION AND CONTROL
For the year 2012, there were 2,318 water samples
received and processed for bacteriology and 1,044
Heterotrophic Plate Count performed in the Water
Analysis Laboratory. There were also 48 water samples
received and tested for manganese, copper, and iron in
the Physico-Chem Laboratory. Remote urine collection
of 103 specimen for drug testing at Tarlac Electric
Company, Tarlac City was also done.
Aside from the performance of different laboratory
examinations, various activities were also carried out to
support other DOH Programs, like Tuberculosis (TB) and
Malaria Control Programs.
Mandated by Administrative Order No. 2007-0019

(Guidelines for the Implementation of the Quality
Assurance System on Direct Sputum Smear Microscopy),
the Regional TB Laboratory (RTL) of the Collaborating
Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CCDPC) as
the technical laboratory arm support to the CHD 3
National TB Program has been continuously working
hard to achieve the above directive by strengthening and
sustaining the TB Laboratory Network in the region.
The year 2012 was the most productive year for the RTL.
Several tasks have been accomplished to meet the its
objectives through the 3 Es strategies which are: (1)
Empower what is existing, (2) Equip what is lacking, and
(3) Expand what is in demand.
44
Empowering through Quality Assurance System (QAS)
Malaria Microscopy Quality Assurance System
To ensure quality TB bacteriologic diagnosis in the

region, the RTL conducts monitoring of QAS
implementation status through data analysis and on-site
visits of the 7 Quality Assurance Centers (QAC). To
further discuss and analyze the current situation of
External QAS in the region, an Annual EQA Program
Implementation Review was also conducted last
November 22-23. The current 187 existing engaged
microscopy centers are in 100% full participation in QAS.
85% of them are well-performing, while only 15% are
adequately performing. Thus, all of them are 100% within
the EQA standards with less than 5% major error. With
about 50,000 TB symptomatics being examined yearly,
there are about 148,000 smears generated.
In 2012, the Malaria Control Program (MCP)-Laboratory

Component accomplished several activities to implement
the Three- Level Quality Assurance System (QAS) for
Malaria Microscopy in the region.
Equipping with knowledge and skills in TB microscopy

Three batches of Training on Direct Sputum Smear
Microscopy have been conducted. A total of 40 medical
technologists/ microscopists assigned from different
DOTS Centers are now equipped with knowledge and
skills to aid in the diagnosis of active TB through
microscopy. This is to address the issues on unavailability
of microscopy services and or inadequacy in the number
of available rural health unit (RHU) based medical
technologists to meet the increasing demand for Direct
Sputum Smear Microscopy (DSSM).
Expand laboratory network through improving access

to microscopy services
Four batches of Training of Informal Laboratory
Workers on Standard TB Smear Preparation have been
conducted and participated by a total of 41 health
workers (barangay health workers, midwives, and
nurses) assigned in far-flung areas/barangays in the
provinces of Aurora, Bulacan, and Pampanga. They were
equipped with the skills on proper and safe preparation
of quality smear.
Level- 1 QAS ensures that all microscopy centers providing

malaria diagnosis must have a malaria-trained
microscopist for accurate results and correct treatment.
Accordingly, the MCP provided a Basic Malaria
Microscopy Course to 16 medical technologists from
RHUs and hospitals from different provinces. All medical
technologists who completed the course successfully
achieved the required grade which is 80% and above.
Refresher Course for Malaria Microscopy was also offered
and this was attended by 7 medical technologists from
RHUs and 5 non-medical technologists from barangay
malaria microscopy centers. The course aims to further
improve the skills of the microscopists to detect malaria
parasites through microscopy. There was also a Training
on Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) for 21 barangay
health workers (BHWs) and rural health midwives
(RHMs). These trained personnel now provides early
diagnosis and treatment of malaria by using RDT in far
and hard to reach endemic areas.
Level- 2 QAS regularly assesses the performance of
malaria microscopists and the support system of health
facilities providing malaria microscopy & treatment. 30
priority microscopy centers in highly endemic
municipalities were visited for on-site supervision.
Level-3 QAS is the proficiency assessment of provincial or
regional validators and the certification of National Core
Group of Trainers and Validators. Three medical
technologists who went through the proficiency
assessment at the Research Institute for Tropical
Medicine (RITM) passed and qualified as provincial
validators. Two regional validators were certified as Level
1- Expert Microscopist by the World Health Organization
(WHO) Regional Accreditation and External Quality
Assurance Program.

HEALTH EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS,

MITIGATION, AND RESPONSE
Health Emergency Management Staff (HEMS)Central Luzon is the unit dedicated in overseeing
the regions preparedness and response to health
emergencies region-wide by directly providing
technical assistance to local government units
(LGUs) through capability building related to
health emergencies, disaster management, and
provision of logistics during emergencies and
disaster.
CHD 3-HEMS has updated annually the Regional
Health Emergency Response and Rehabilitation
Plan as a guide in implementing the different
strategies/activities related to health emergencies
and disasters in Central Luzon. Training on Basic
Life Support for Health Workers for the provinces
of Aurora, Pampanga ,and Tarlac were also
conducted as part of their technical assistance to
the different LGUs.
During the effects of Typhoon Gener, Habagat,
and Typhoon Helen, the CHD 3-HEMS
responded to the needs of the victims in Central
Luzon through the activation of the CHD 3
Medical Response Teams, HEMS-OPCEN 24-hours
Operation, and deployment of Rapid Health
Assessment Team and medical teams from the
different DOH hospitals to the different affected
areas and evacuation centers. So as to harmonize
and communicate efforts, coordination meetings,
media watch, and press releases were also done.

COMMUNITY HEALTH TEAM

Many families, especially those with limited
capabilities to access health services, suffer from
health conditions that can be prevented if treated
early enough or given proper care. Often, these
families do not know their health risks and needs,
have no financial means to get the health services
they need, have little knowledge of available health
providers in their area, and have no ready access to
emergency transportation that can bring them to
these service providers.
barangay nutrition scholar, and community

volunteers. Each identified member of the family
will be provided with forms (including infant, child,
and pregnant woman, among others) within their
concerned areas of responsibility.
To help break these barriers to health care delivery,

Community Health Teams (CHTs) are tasked with
giving direct assistance to underserved families,
especially those identified by the Dapartment of
Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in the
National Household Targeting System (NHTS),
including those covered by Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program (4Ps), by helping them navigate or
find their way through the existing health system.
Out of the 322,622 NHTS households identified,

207,166 households were already visited by the
Team, signifying 84.69%.
A CHT partner will be assigned to some of these

families within a community or purok who are in
most need of health assistance. With guidance,
their access to health care can be greatly
enhanced.
The CHTs will do door-to-door visits to reach all
families, especially the poorest Filipino households.
The CHT Mobilization aims to link these families to
social service providers, provide critical social
services when needed, and deliver key health
messages.
CHT MOBILIZATION STATUS

The CHT Program is a part of the governments
efforts to achieve Kalusugan Pangkalahatan or the
Universal Health Care. In line with this, the CHTs
will be the frontliners in their respective
communities in giving information and guidance to
those who want to access health services. Each
team is composed of a rural health
midwife, barangay chairman, barangay health
worker , barangay committee chairman on health,
In Region 3, the following are the CHT Mobilization
