MAINTAINING HEALTH CARE AT

HOME & THE COMMUNITY


Health care is essential in our homes
and the community. It is one of the
pillars that make society function
properly. Maintaining it may be difficult
if there are lacking of resources and
lapses in implementing it.

LIST AT LEAST 10 WAYS TO


MAINTAIN HEALTH CARE AT
HOME & IN THE COMMUNITY.
EXPLAIN THE DETAILS OF EACH.

MAKE HEALTH CARE


AVAILABLE FOR ALL SEXES
Providing healthcare to all sexes ensures
attending to the health problems of both
males and females. This is important because
there are differences in males' and females'
approach when it comes to healthcare.

MAKE HEALTH CARE


AVAILABLE FOR ALL AGES
Providing healthcare to all ages may be more
difficult because of the limitations that age
imposes on people. The most vulnerable age
group, the elderly, is also the same age group
that has difficulties when it comes to seeking
health care. Making health care more
available for them by doing home visits and
scheduling them for quarterly checkups in
the BHC is helpful.
KEEP VACCINATIONS UPDATED
Vaccinations are essential in the community
because it ensures the immunity of its citizens
from different kinds of diseases. Making
vaccination schedules, especially for children, is a
great way to ensure proper vaccination.
Vaccination drives for annual vaccines can also
be done.

MONITOR CENSUS
Doing a census of the community is very
important because it will be the basis of the
programs that can be done to promote
health. It can also be used to monitor the
communities overall health status.

UTILIZE TELEHEALTH
Since the pandemic, the use of telehealth
and teleconsultation has been widespread.
It has minimized the exposure of people not
just to COVID, but also to other common
viral illnesses. Promoting telehealth and
maximizing its utilization would be
beneficial for the people and its community.

PROMOTE FAMILY PLANNING


Family planning has been one of the main
focuses of Barangay Health Centers, especially in
the Philippines. Promoting it can help with the
citizens' reproductive health by educating them
on safe sex and appropriate family planning
methods that they can do or use. It also helps
with the overpopulation of the community.

COLLABORATE WITH
ESSENTIAL HEALTH TEAMS
Collaborating with appropriate health teams
when it comes to health programs that the
community might need. It can also help
with health problems that they might face,
ie an outbreak or a pandemic.
REFER TO PROPER
HEALTHCARE FACILITIES
Community health centers are limited, and
some health problems may not be resolved
there. Proper referral to other healthcare
facilities guarantee suitable interventions for
their conditions. This also means they will
get the care they need ASAP.

DONATE BLOOD
A lot of people like to donate their blood as
a way to be active in the community. Blood
donations help different people and give
the donators a sense of fulfillment because
they know that they are helping other
people.

UTILIZE BARANGAY
HEALTHCARE CENTERS
Of all the ways I've listed, it can all be done
by using the baarangay health centers in
their communities. It is a more convenient
place to seek health care. It is not much
utilized in other communities because of
the insufficient information about the
services available there. It causes the lack
of awareness of the citizens.

YOU DECIDE

“You cannot get through a single day


without having an impact on the world
around you. What you do makes a
difference and you have to decide what
kind of a difference you want to
make.”— Jane Goodall
