MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Nov 5 (PIA) -- The Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) conducted a two-day command conference on family planning last week to address the unmet needs for family planning in the province.
The conference was attended by chief of hospitals, municipal health officers, and other health workers from the different towns of the province.
It was also graced by other stakeholders from both the public and private sectors like representatives from the provincial government, Amai Pakpak Medical Center, Al-Mujadila Foundation, and members of the media, among others.
The Islamic perspective on reproductive health, updates on the implementation of the Reproductive Health Code, generation of demands through family development sessions and the role of community health teams in the delivery of family planning services were also tackled.
The conference also featured a lecture on cervical cancer prevention and recognition of individuals who gave support to IPHO and to the rural health units and hospitals who showed exemplary performances in the delivery of family planning and reproductive health services.
The highlight of the conference was the signing of commitment by the participants to improve not only the provision of family planning services and the availability of commodities, especially to the poor, but also the overall health status of our constituents, Minalang said.
