Satellite comes from the Latin word “satellit” which means attendant. Hence, the Satellite Health Station serves as a beacon to attend and provide remedy to residents of uphill sectors around Barangay Motibot.
The distance and rough terrains of the barangay poses a challenge for acquisition of medical services. So instead of them going to health centers, Team Motibot, with the initiative of our stakeholders, thought of bringing the health center TO THEM; to date, health services available include NCD-risk screening, blood pressure and BMI monitoring. With our devoted BHWs, it will be a venue for the provision of initial response for medical emergencies.
This initiative significantly reduced travel and time spent and the risk of further injury due to travel be prevented. To a further extent, it also eased the burden of 2 of our BHWs who have to trek from their homes in these uphill sectors from going down and back up to tirelessly render their duties to their residents.
Padayon ang atong pag-paningkamot, Motibot!
