ATeen Response Center inilunsad

BAGUIO CITY (Mayo 16)- Naging matagumpay ang paglulunsad ng kauna-unahang “Teen Response Center” ng pamahalaang panlunsod na pinamagatang “Itanong mo kay Bonjing”.

Si Bonjing ay isang “Cyberfriend” na maaari umanong i-e-mail ng mga kabataan sa lungsod hinggil sa anumang problemang kanilang kinakaharap sa kanilang sekswalidad, mga kaibigan, at pakikipagrelasyon.

Ayon kay City Population Officer Zenaida Quijana, dalawang malalaking paaralan ang magsisilbing “Pilot Areas” ng naturang proyekto sa lungsod tulad ng University of the Philippines Baguio at Baguio City National High School.

Bukod sa e-mail, inilunsad rin kahapon ang Bonjing Hotline na 442-60-21.

Para naman sa mga kabataang nahihiya magpadala ng e-mail o tumawag sa hotline number, maaari silang maghulog ng sulat sa mga “Bonjing Hotlines” na matatagpuan sa mga nabanggit na paaralan.

Tiniyak ni Quijana na magiging “Confidential” lahat ng problemang ikokonsulta ng mga kabataan kay Bonjing”.

Hinikayat ni Quijana ang mga kabataan na makipag-ugnayan kay Bonjing sa Bonjing@Baguio.gov.ph. #

Maternal death rate, mababa

BAGUIO CITY (Mayo 19) — Umabot sa 31 sa bawat 100,000 kababaihan ang “Maternal Death Rate” dito sa lungsod.

Ito ang inihayag kahapon ni Lolita Dicang, Midwifery Division Chief ng Baguio Health Department.

Ayon kay Dicang, ang National Maternal Death Rate ay umaabot sa 170 sa bawat 100,000.

Aniya, ang mababang “death rate” ng kababaihang nanganganak sa lungsod ay maaaring dulot na ng “accessibility” at “availability” ng mga serbisyong pangkalusugan dito kumpara sa ibang bahagi ng bansa.

Dagdag pa ni Dicang, kung tutuusin kahit sa bilang ng pagamutan ay nangunguna na ang lungsod ng Baguio.

Karamihan umano sa malalang klase ng komplikasyon sa panganganak o pagbubuntis ay matagumpay pa ring naaagapan dahil malapit ang mga ospital sa lungsod.

Samantala, nanawagan si Dicang sa mga babaeng nagdadalantao na siguraduhing nasa normal ang kanilang hemoglobin count upang maiwasan ang mga problemang idudulot ng posibleng pagdurugo sa oras ng panganganak. # Rowena Caccam/DzEQ
