Through the guidance and support of Hon. Miguel Peรฑa, the Pulupandan Municipal Health Office successfully conducted the PhilHealth YAKAP Caravan in Barangay Ubay, Pulupandan.
The PhilHealth Yaman ng Kalusugan (YAKAP) Program aims to strengthen access to comprehensive primary healthcare by promoting preventive care, early detection of health conditions, regular health monitoring, and timely access to appropriate healthcare services. For Pulupandan, this initiative brings these primary care services closer to our communities and helps ensure that every Pulupandanon can establish a continuous link with a primary care provider.
The activity provided several important services, including:
โข PhilHealth registration for residents who are not yet PhilHealth members;
โข Registration and empanelment under the YAKAP Program with the Pulupandan Primary Care Facility I (PCF I); and
โข First Patient Encounter (FPE) for YAKAP-registered beneficiaries, which involves the collection and/or updating of basic health information to establish their initial health profile and identify potential health risks. The FPE serves as the first interaction with the YAKAP Clinic and is distinct from a regular clinical consultation.
The activity was graced by the presence of SB Members Hon. Lorenzo Suatengco, Hon. Ryan Stephen Paloa, and Hon. Rona Mae Galimba, together with the Pulupandan MHO Team, headed by Dr. Geraldine Therese Lizares, MHO; Ms. Jackie Lou O. Orcajada, PhilHealth Focal Person; Ms. Mardy Borja, Assistant PhilHealth Focal; Ms. Algen B. Quinones, Midwife-in-Charge of Barangay Ubay; and our dedicated and hardworking Barangay Health Workers (BHWs).
The Pulupandan Municipal Health Office also extends its sincere gratitude to the Barangay Officials of Barangay Ubay, headed by Hon. Vicky P. Yulo, for their valuable support, cooperation, and dedication in making the activity successful.
This YAKAP Caravan is only the beginning. The Pulupandan MHO will soon bring the same initiative to other barangays, bringing PhilHealth YAKAP registration, empanelment, and primary care services closer to our constituents and helping more Pulupandanon families maximize the benefits of the program.
Together, we bring YAKAP closer to every Pulupandanon.
