CATBALOGAN CITY, Samar, March 20 (PIA)—The Health Department’s program on Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement And Local Service (RN HEALS) addresses the necessary number of midwives and nurses in the Rural Health Units (RHUs) especially for the families in the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCTs) areas. | |||
This was pronounced in a meeting on March 19, Monday attended by the representatives from the partner agencies of Department of Health (DOH), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). | |||
Dr. Antonio Tirazona, Provincial Health team leader presided the first meeting this 2012. | |||
The RN HEALS Program has deployed 224 nurses and nine midwives to different municipalities in the province. | |||
“The program up to now is still seeking 34 midwives to be assigned to distant barangays where there is a CCT community,” Tirazona said. | |||
Tirazona said that the provincial government has deployed some 107 nurses with 12 at Basey District Hospital, 59 at the Samar Provincial Hospital, 13 in Gandara District Hospital, five in Tarangnan Community Hospital, and 18 in Calbayog District Hospital. | |||
The other 117 nurses are deployed in RHUs. | |||
The program was implemented in 2011 as RN HEALS Project and has graduated as a regular program to supplement health programs of the LGUs. | |||
“The program has created a pool registered nurses and midwives with enhanced clinical and public health competencies. They have provided quality health care services with focus on maternal and neonatal care in DOH hospitals and far flung areas in the country,” Tirazona added. | |||
Jocelyn Nabong, DOH Catbalogan City representative, said that this program is a convergence of all government agencies. | |||
