Team Motibot, together with the Barangay Health Workers, Barangay Health Nurse, and Barangay Officials, have been committed to improve the Health Emergency Response System in Barangay Motibot. The main objective is to immediately respond and render basic first aid during medical emergencies. In an effort to realize this vision, various plans and activities were made through the years.
Core team was established and trained with Basic Life Support and First Aid last January 2020. The core team are equipped and responsible for the immediate response during medical emergencies. Emergency hotlines were posted in key areas in the Barangay. Through this, citizens of Motibot will be able to directly call and seek help for immediate transport.
Barangay Health Emergency Response Team was finally ordained last July 2021 with the assistance of our Barangay Health Nurse, Barangay Health Workers, and Barangay Officials.
Since then, supplies and equipment were already procured including a transport vehicle, stretcher, oxygen tank, neck brace, splints, bandages, cravats, and first aid kits. The council has committed to the maintenance of medical supplies and equipments which they have included in their annual budget.
To date, the BHERT is functional and have been addressing medical emergencies such as hypertension-related emergencies, vehicular accidents, pregnancy-related emergencies, COVID-related emergencies, and others. They provide first aid management and immediate transport to appropriate referral facilities.
In addition to this, the Satellite Health Station was inaugurated to cater to the residents of Upper Motibot. Services are made available for sectors 6 and 7 to ensure that health is not only for an exclusive few.
In the last 4 years, the Barangay Health Emergency Response Team, is now equipped with the necessary training, equipment and certification to assert lifesaving measures around the barangay. As we come full circle, it redefined purpose as a calling – a calling to serve and to save.
