BASCO, Batanes- Barangay Health Worker (BHW) municipal federation president for Basco Jayne A. Calucag has confirmed the positive response of the National Commission for Indigenous People (NCIP) regarding her project proposal for the provision of medical and health care services to indigenous people (IPs) in Batanes. | |||
Calucag who is also the Barangay Nutrition Scholar (BNS) federation vice president and BNS of Barangay Kayhuvukan said she complied with National Commission for Indigenous People's (NCIP) requirement to submit a project proposal for medical health care intended for indigenous people (IPs) in Batanes. | |||
The proposal was accompanied with a list of the basic needs for indigenous people prioritizing those in remote areas. | |||
Calucag said she made prior informal proposal to NCIP community development officer (CDO) Eduardo Delfin in 2007 but that time Delfin said NCIP has no funds for medical health care program. | |||
Calucag said she explored sources of assistance for her constituents as BHW president in this municipality and her efforts paid off when Delfin early this year finally advised her to submit her project proposal and listed the following as priority needs for IPs' health: weighing scale detecto for all groups including the pregnant and senior citizens; salter weighing scale for babies up to six years old; three nebulizer for asthmatic patients; first aid and medical kit for each BHW and BNS. | |||
At presstime calucag added, these gadgets and equipment have not been awarded to the BNS and BHWs and the supporting documents of their requests are still in process. | |||
