Primary Health Care

This program aims to improve the health conditions of our less fortunate brothers and
sisters. It also aims to uplift the health conditions of severely malnourished school
children whose parents are incapable of providing them the proper medical consultation,
medication, and referrals.

Activities Undertaken:

• Medical–Dental Mission where free consultations and medicines are given to the
Indigent families. This is a continuous activity of the school and this is done three
times a year.
• Seminars-lectures on Family Planning, Health Care and Sanitation are conducted.
• Seminars-lectures on Maternal and childcare are conducted for the mothers.
• Financed medicines of three malnourished school children of Linao East.
• Operation Timbang of Children
• Deworming
• Immunization

The ultimate goal of primary health care is better health for all. WHO has identified five
key elements to achieving that goal:

• reducing exclusion and social disparities in health (universal coverage reforms);

• organizing health services around people's needs and expectations (service
delivery reforms);
• integrating health into all sectors (public policy reforms);
• pursuing collaborative models of policy dialogue (leadership reforms); and
• increasing stakeholder participation.
