Programs on health and livelihood top the list of priority projects of the Adame administration.

On this, an awareness program and seminar workshops have been conducted to raise awareness on the significance of a disease-free environment for a more productive life.          

In line with this, punong barangays and farmers participated in a two-day seminar workshop on Aug. 21 and 22 on organic fertilizer conducted at the town's livelihood training and convention center.

Resource speakers from the provincial agriculture office made lectures during the seminar-workshop.

Simultaneous to the seminar, the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources introduced local fishermen to a training on drift gill net.

It was conducted at barangay Tangohay where a local fishermen association has been has been established.

Experts from the DOH Regional Office VII also came to discuss the threat of Dengue, HIV and Avian Influenza.

Maayo bitaw ni, effective health care programs, and health educational disbursements are essential in preventative measures per se in the rising cases of pancreatic cancer, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovasculare-related diseases. In my visit to the hospitals (Gallares, Tagbilaran Community, and various Valencia Clinics), it was made known to me that these disease types are common / pragmatic in Bohol.

It would be observably beneficial if such knowledge of regular check ups (colonoscopies, rectal examinations, and general check up) are faciliated via leaflets and availability through municipal health agencies.

Good Job, Dimiao.
