Video lecture about Basic Life Support was provided to serve as refresher to the BHERT core team. The video was made by the group using AHA guidelines. The same video was shown to the heads of the households for them to have an idea on how to respond to medical emergencies and perform proper CPR. This health education was conducted by the BHWs of Motibot and they as well administered the pre and post tests. On April 16, 2021, the health teaching materials were sent to Barangay Motibot. All needed materials and equipment were provided by the group.
Also, the core team were given health teaching via infomercial, that we ourselves once again made, regarding the safety measure on how to prevent the spread of the virus to ensure their own safety as they perform their duties and watch out for the health of the people of Motibot. The same video was shown to the heads of household of Motibot as well to strengthen the campaign in fighting COVID-19.
To strengthen the campaign on emergency response and proper performance of high quality CPR, posters were posted in different landmarks in the Barangay. To further the reach of our campaign against COVID-19 and basic life support, informercials were posted in our facebook page.
Having a functional transport vehicle, which is mainly used for emergency transport purposes and transport of LSIs during this pandemic, the team provided several basic supplies and equipment through the help of our generous sponsors. Supplies and equipment given are splint, bandages, neck brace, alcohol, povidone iodine, and cotton.
Despite our physical absence in Barangay Motibot, activities are still on-going and are continuously being carried-out. This is made possible with the support and hardwork of our Barangay Health Workers and Nurse, as well as the active participation and eagerness of our residents.
