High prevalence of uncontrolled blood pressure has been the no.1 identified health problem in barangay Motibot. In the 2018 barangay-wide survey it is the leading cause of illness and the statistics revealed an alarming high no. Of hypertension-related mortality in the barangay.
Efforts to decrease the prevalence of hypertension in the barangay have included increasing knowledge and awareness of the public and BHWs, equipping the BHWs in the screening of hypertension, and encouraging the general public to adhere to treatment. These efforts were solidified by the strong partnership with the BHS and Barangay Council.
In 4 years, Significant progress has been made in increasing the awareness, detection, adherence to pharmacologic and nonphharmacologic management, and control of hypertension. A satellite health station has also been established in Upper Motibot in order to cater to those who live far from the health station.
The general objective which is to decrease the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension by 25% in congruence to the SDG has been achieved!
The power of community to create health is far greater than any physician, clinic or hospital- Mark Hyman.
Keep going Motibot! Padayon sa pagpaningkamot aron makab-ot ang kaayuhan diri sa Barangay Motibot.
