Concepcion, Iloilo, Philippines
AAI Health Recovery Team returns to the Municipality of Concepcion, in Iloilo Province, on 9 January after short break to commence our Health Recovery Program, funded in partnership with Direct Relief. Since arriving in the country, program personnel have made contact with key partners in the Iloilo Provincial Administration, Provincial Health, and Concepcion Municipal Health Office (MHO).
BHS rebuilding program
Two Barangay Health Stations (BHS’s) – Bagongon and Macatunao – have been selected in co-ordination with the Iloilo Provincial Health Office (PHO) for rebuilding, refurbishment and equipment supply. Bagongon health workers recently contacted the MHO requesting emergency provision of tarps, as the facility is being flooded in January rains.
Water tanks to be installed at island BHSs – Bagongon, Macatunao, Malangabang, possibly Igbon Island Barangays – have been warehoused at the Concepcion municipal building ready for delivery and installation in coming weeks.
