PROGRAM PROPOSALRebuilding Healthy Communities

Recipient: Direct Relief , Santa Barbara, CA, USA 

Offerer: Health Futures Foundation, Inc. (HFI), Quezon City, Philippines Subject:  For the construction of barangay   health stations (BHS) and the

implementation of community-based health and wellness programs

(CBHWP) in three Haiyan-affected municipalities in Eastern Visayas

 Areas: (1)  Marabut , Samar (2010 est. pop. 15,000); (2) Quinapondan, Eastern

Samar (2010 est. pop. 14,000); (3) Salcedo, Eastern Samar (2010 est. pop.

20,000)

Background

Super-typhoon Haiyan devastated most of the communities in Eastern Visayas, leaving

thousands of people dead, millions displaced, and billions of damage in public and private

infrastructures. The Samar and Eastern Samar provinces have particularly suffered due to

the pre-disaster socioeconomic conditions and poor health indicators. The super-typhoon

has left health systems in affected communities crippled. Health infrastructures from

community BHS to large district hospitals have been flattened; supply chains of medical

supplies and medicines have been disrupted; and health care providers face personal

traumas and the influx of emergent post-disaster morbidities. Public health servicing have

been particularly hit and in the three towns covered by this proposal, the health systems

stand in a dire need of support. Health rehabilitation, while but one of the few aspects of

post-disaster rebuilding and reconstruction, is paramount  if the right to health be affirmed.

Goal and ObjectivesThe Program pursues the impact objectives of zero maternal deaths; zero infant mortality;

80% or greater reduction of under-5 child mortality rates; 100% detection, sputum

conversion rates, and cure of tuberculosis patients.  These impact objectives are in line with

the Philippine Department of Health’s Universal Health Agenda of full health security for

the communities through 100% PhilHealth health insurance coverage; availability and

accessibility of health professionals; delivery of public health services; utilization of digital

health information systems; good health governance; and effective referral systems. The

Program is also aligned with national and local initiatives for the fulfilment of the

Millennium Development Goals in the Philippines, particularly its goals in reducing

maternal mortality, improving child health, and eliminating tuberculosis, malaria, and

other endemic diseases. Our service delivery objectives also focus on holistic wellness,

health promotion, disease prevention, and identification and treatment of community

members with hypertension, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and chronic renal

diseases— important, but often overlooked, chronic morbidities in poor communities.

Services

The BHS strategically serves as catchment areas, catering to the health needs of thousands

of community members. Basic health services delivered by these BHS, through trained,

competent, and tenured health professionals and barangay health workers include health

promotion and medical care. These Program services include capacity building of health

workers; maternal and child health; child nutrition; prevention and control of diseases;sexual and reproductive health; community mental health; community dental and oral

health; prevention and control of non-communicable diseases; acute health care; provision

of essential medicines; integration of traditional medicine with conventional medicine; and

provision of basic laboratory and diagnostic services. This holistic wellness paradigm

complements conventional public health concentration on curative care.
