Description:

Work doesn’t stop for Piagapo’s municipal rural health doctor Rasmia Lawi and her staff. "The
introduction of new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the current situation will be more
problematic for the people and the overall public health system. The national and local
guidelines should be clear from the very beginning," she said.

The Marawi siege in 2017 and the polio outbreak in 2019 have left public health services reliant
on humanitarian and development assistance. "Now we are having a tough time dealing with
COVID-19. It’s tiring and terrifying at the same time but this is the life I’ve chosen. I’m grateful
and proud of my staff doing great service for the people despite having limited protective gear
and the risks to themselves. Our purpose in life actually saves lives," Dr. Lawi said.

Rural health staff travel for long hours to reach isolated communities in Piagapo to provide
life-saving information, services and supplies. Staff nurse Sohaima Rascal shares: "Even in a
pandemic, we keep in mind that delaying or avoiding health care services would bring more
problems in the future, on top of the COVID-19 virus, particularly among children. We truly care
for them as if they’re our family, too."
Cause and effect:

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an
unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic
and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating: tens of millions of people are at
risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently
estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year.

Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3 billion global
workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly
vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and access to quality health care and
have lost access to productive assets. Without the means to earn an income during lockdowns,
many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income means no food, or,
at best, less food and less nutritious food.

Strengthening community health and support systems

Barangay Health Emergency Response Teams, or BHERTs, usually connect community
members to health facilities — but during times of emergency their work becomes more
important than ever. These neighborhood-based teams formed the frontline of efforts to delay
COVID-19’s spread and locally contain the pandemic by communicating risk, facilitating contact
tracing and vaccination, and connecting communities with broader local health systems.
ReachHealth works to ensure BHERTs in hotspot communities are active, effective, and trained
on critical elements of the COVID-19 community response, including essential behaviors to
prevent the virus’ spread, infection prevention and control, vaccination and testing protocols,
contact tracing, and quarantine and isolation. ReachHealth has helped train over 7,800 people
on contact tracing and rapid response so far.

Increasing vaccine coverage

In 2021, ReachHealth collaborated with the DOH and local actors to plan for vaccine rollouts.
We developed public messaging for local governments to spread the word, updated FAQs for
community health responders like BHERTs, and supported health facility planning and
preparation. Once vaccines were available, ReachHealth also helped speed up the roll out by
deploying 28 mobile vaccine teams across the country to ensure even the most remote
communities got access. ReachHealth has established or supported over 200 vaccination sites
in the Philippines. More than 2.8 million Filipinos have been fully vaccinated with ReachHealth’s
support.
