๐Ÿ’กPrimary Health Care

Primary Health Care (PHC) is a key concept in the script, referring to the first point of contact with the health care system and the provision of basic health services. It is integral to the video's theme, emphasizing the importance of accessible and affordable health care for all. The script mentions Visayas Primary Health Care Services, which is an organization that trains community health workers and provides health services to communities in need, as an example of PHC in action.

๐Ÿ’กCommunity Health Workers

Community Health Workers are individuals trained to provide basic health care and education within their communities. They are crucial to the script's narrative as they bridge the gap between professional health services and the community, often working in underserved areas. The script describes how these workers are trained by organizations like VPHCS to recognize health issues and educate community members on prevention and basic care.

๐Ÿ’กOutreach

Outreach in the context of the script refers to the proactive efforts made by health organizations to extend their services to communities that may not have easy access to health care. It is a critical aspect of community-based health programs, as it involves going directly to where the need is, rather than waiting for people to come to health facilities. The script mentions outreach to medical and nursing schools, as well as to local physicians and politicians, to foster collaboration and support for community health initiatives.

๐Ÿ’กHealth Education

Health Education is a vital component discussed in the script, focusing on teaching individuals and communities how to maintain their health and prevent diseases. It is closely related to the theme of empowering communities to take charge of their own health. Examples from the script include educating people on the prevention of dengue and the importance of a nutritious diet, which are part of the health education provided by community health workers and organizations.

๐Ÿ’กMedical Missions

Medical Missions are temporary medical services provided to communities in need, often in response to specific health crises or as part of regular health outreach. In the script, medical missions are depicted as a form of community service where volunteer doctors offer free health care, including diagnosis and treatment, to areas lacking access to regular medical services.

๐Ÿ’กHomeopathy

Homeopathy is an alternative medical practice that uses highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing mechanisms. The script discusses homeopathy as an example of an alternative healing practice embraced by some in the community health care sector. It is presented as a cost-effective and accessible form of medicine, although it faces skepticism and requires education to gain wider acceptance.

[Music]

play01:53

community-based health programs now is

play01:56

very much different from what it used to

play01:59

be now a group like VP ACS will not

play02:04

enter a community unless a community

play02:06

organization asked for them so it's

play02:09

usually you have a farmers group you

play02:13

have a fisherman's group have a youth

play02:15

group many times it's a mother's

play02:17

organization so there are already

play02:20

organizations in the communities so now

play02:23

every group will have what you call a

play02:26

health committee and they if they

play02:30

realize they need a community health

play02:32

worker to be trained they were called V

play02:35

PhDs to train them now the function of

play02:40

community based health programs like the

play02:42

Visayas primary health care services is

play02:45

not only to train now but to render

play02:48

health care and they render services

play02:53

when like if there is an outbreak of

play02:57

dengue in an area so they go into the

play03:00

area if they are requested by the

play03:01

people's organization they train

play03:04

community health workers they give

play03:06

lectures on how to treat them I should

play03:09

not say lectures actually they educate

play03:11

not so much the lecture but to educate

play03:14

the people on the prevention of dengue

play03:17

and I mean something like that so they

play03:20

are requested for a called medical

play03:22

mission if there is an outbreak let's

play03:24

say of respiratory diseases they go in

play03:28

there and they bring in doctors

play03:31

volunteer doctors these are local

play03:33

physicians who will come and volunteer

play03:35

and render free service to that area

play03:39

they of course bring medications either

play03:41

they buy these medications or they get

play03:44

donated we Envy PHCs always dream to

play03:50

have health care to be accessible

play03:54

affordable and scientific to those

play03:58

people who are deprived

play04:00

and oppressed meaning deprived of food

play04:04

shelter because of poverty and the

play04:08

access of medical services so our main

play04:14

strategy is to promote primary health

play04:16

care so our strategy is one to train the

play04:21

people secondly we provide medical

play04:25

services if the community is needing it

play04:29

and the third one is we are giving an

play04:33

awareness-raising for this medical

play04:34

health sector so to help students so

play04:39

that will be graduated they can be

play04:42

sympathetic or they can provide free

play04:45

services to this deprived communities we

play04:48

are covering and the port one is you

play04:51

have a resource generation like for

play04:54

liking soap which is part of our

play04:58

resource generation

play05:00

[Music]

play05:14

so that's what we call primary health

play05:16

care so primary health care people know

play05:19

what to do how to take care of

play05:20

themselves how to keep themselves

play05:22

healthy it's actually more of Education

play05:25

primary health care that I'm really

play05:26

concerned with that's why I'm a

play05:28

different doctor I don't treat people

play05:30

when they're sick but I keep people

play05:32

healthy I don't want them to become sick

play05:34

I am happy to serve people the poor

play06:35

with one of the founders of

play06:37

community-based health programs in the

play06:39

Philippines that was sister Mary crane

play06:42

Oh community-based health program the

play06:44

Philippines started in 1973 this was

play06:48

founded by three nuns sister Mary green

play06:50

Oh sister Eva ball and sister Saviour

play06:54

and they got funding from Miss area in

play06:58

Germany to start in three pilot areas

play07:02

the main concept was to go to the people

play07:07

learn from them adapt their practices

play07:12

and make health care accessible

play07:14

affordable relevant

play07:24

[Music]

play07:32

they have several prongs they have this

play07:37

community clinic so-called medical

play07:39

missions they have training of community

play07:42

health workers they have outreach to

play07:45

medical schools and nursing schools so

play07:48

that they are able to those who are

play07:53

interested be immersed in this kind of

play07:57

health care approach they have outreach

play08:02

to kadhi mia so they the local

play08:08

physicians and specialists and even

play08:10

politicians they join forces with them

play08:13

they work with squatters those who have

play08:17

no land I should not say for they work

play08:19

with because always these people are

play08:23

organized and they just kind of

play08:27

[Music]

play08:35

so for example in Cebu we are in a meter

play08:40

puzzle and st. Mary's in Taliban and

play08:44

then we are also in Tagbilaran

play08:48

in ball so our communities are Trinidad

play08:53

before our Resource Center in Berkeley

play08:57

on where our training center is being

play09:00

built built in supposedly for

play09:04

sustainability of the organization

play09:07

[Music]

play09:46

we have a lot more to do with the center

play09:50

to cater for the trainings of the

play09:53

community health workers and for the

play09:55

other groups to use it because we have a

play10:00

modest facilities but we wanted it to be

play10:03

improved so it can be more comfortable

play10:07

for the users so we are accepting

play10:11

donations grabs for the center to be

play10:15

more functional

play10:17

so at Olli we are reaching or writing

play10:23

friends and networks come and see the

play10:27

training center so they could see it

play10:30

themselves and hopefully they would

play10:33

donate some grass

play10:37

[Music]

play10:56

[Music]

play11:20

I still believe that there is still more

play11:26

room to be worked on as far as having a

play11:32

more personal approach to health care

play11:37

the besides primary health care services

play11:40

now uses both indigenous healing

play11:43

practices Western healing practices and

play11:47

homeopathy so much of this I actually

play11:50

learned from a homeopathic doctor that

play11:54

VP ACS has befriended he's a homeopathy

play11:59

and if you are a Western trained

play12:02

physician homeopathy is another

play12:06

revolution of the mind to accept but one

play12:09

thing I have gotten there are many

play12:12

things in life that you cannot

play12:14

understand you concentrate the dose in a

play12:17

small pill it seems impossible if you

play12:23

have a Western set mind but if you think

play12:27

about metaphysics and quantum theology

play12:33

and all that so homeopathy my approach

play12:38

to it right now is I believe it I

play12:40

respect it

play12:41

although I don't understand it I really

play12:46

do

play12:46

and so and I think if we can have more

play12:51

people believing in it convincing people

play12:54

that there is an alternative medicine I

play12:58

think health care will be much more

play13:01

affordable

play13:09

[Music]

play13:15

homeopathy is very very cheap very

play13:18

accessible but I did not sell it because

play13:22

Norbert

play13:23

always tells me we do not sell we only

play13:27

give it because that is what the poor

play13:30

needs

play13:33

I have to take care of my sick father

play13:39

because I've felt so sad me being a

play13:42

doctor and I cannot take care of my own

play13:45

father so I went home took care of my

play13:48

father but he was given this

play13:50

conventional medicine my father doesn't

play13:53

believe in homeopathy so with all the

play13:55

illnesses that he has I gave him the

play13:59

conventional medicines which he wanted

play14:01

and only alleviated the condition so one

play14:07

day he said okay I surrender I will try

play14:10

homeopathy indeed I gave him homeopathy

play14:13

and it took some time not right away

play14:16

because it's not like the conventional

play14:18

medicine which the effect you would see

play14:20

the day after but this one took about

play14:24

say a week before he started to feel

play14:28

that he is getting a bit better and then

play14:31

kept taking it better and better until

play14:35

my father went back to his old self his

play14:38

healthy self with homeopathy that's why

play14:41

he is he was advertising homeopathy that

play14:44

time but nobody understands homeopathy

play14:46

they do not believe that but if we say

play14:49

it's some kind of homeopathy is some

play14:52

kind of magic medicine in the

play14:54

Philippines they can relate it's not

play14:57

easy to convince those people in the

play14:59

community that it really works that's

play15:02

why we are very thankful for norburg to

play15:05

be here and to teach us he has gone so

play15:10

far and I have to learn a lot from him

play15:13

and I know that even after several years

play15:17

I still will not be able to absorb what

play15:20

he has in his brain

play15:32

she's clear

play15:35

only then is the approach to to

play15:40

these people you know belong to the 85%

play15:46

of poor so formally I I had a difficult

play15:52

time to heal children the question for

play15:56

me what what kind of future do I heal

play15:59

this children and youngsters considering

play16:03

that eighty percent of this population

play16:05

is under 25 years of age it's amazing

play16:10

but with the time I restrict myself to

play16:14

my professional ability I just care

play16:19

about them

play16:22

[Music]

play16:29

[Music]

play17:03

I want to be a doctor and I am hoping

play17:15

that I will be or I have a courage to be

play17:18

a homeopathic doctor someday and if I

play17:21

will be doctor nervy Anders said to me

play17:24

that I will be the first doctor of

play17:26

homeopathy and the Philippines I will

play17:29

graduate with a working student and I am

play17:34

also given scholarship by dr. nur be

play17:37

Anders so from now I am going for also

play17:42

medical mission psycho psycho social

play17:44

events and circumcisions

play17:46

[Music]

play18:36

[Music]

play18:57

in the Philippines like many poor

play19:00

nations you only see a doctor if you are

play19:02

dying or dead many Filipinos still die

play19:08

without having seen a physician and so

play19:11

what I have brought to them was my

play19:16

practice I'm a pediatrician in the

play19:18

United States where you try to see them

play19:22

before they're sick we have had several

play19:26

cases when we did these physicals and we

play19:29

found out that the children have heart

play19:31

murmurs that they did not know and so we

play19:34

have picked up some and kidney

play19:37

infections in this world check physicals

play19:40

and so that's where I think we should be

play19:44

going in more when they go to training

play19:48

at two weeks at the time who browsed the

play19:51

field who reaps there prior there

play19:54

produce the community didn't surf this

play19:57

time offer this farmers plant our farm

play20:02

was to be planted all the farmers would

play20:05

go there to plant this field while we

play20:08

were in training by primary health care

play20:10

we see that we have to educate the

play20:13

communities on the preventative aspects

play20:17

of health so we have if there is problem

play20:21

on attrition we have to teach them

play20:23

everyone should be treated ever if you

play20:25

are poor and in the middle strata of the

play20:29

society what is the nutritious food

play20:33

Filipinos think that you should buy

play20:36

multivitamins rather than buy food buy

play20:39

ma this nutritious drink which you only

play20:43

pee out anyway because they're all in

play20:45

vitamins that you can get in food we

play20:49

don't even want to cook anymore thirty

play20:52

percent of Filipinos are stunted that

play20:55

means chronic malnutrition that has

play20:58

prevented them from growing the drinking

play21:01

there's a actively there is supply we

play21:04

called it metropolitan super water

play21:07

district when in

play21:08

also everybody who gets water will be

play21:11

for the main caretaker of the faucet

play21:14

like for example in puzzle we have a

play21:16

common al so there is one pipe and

play21:20

members of that particular city or the

play21:23

maintenance and payment of that project

play21:25

but before they have to carry on outside

play21:29

just to get water like in parcel you can

play21:35

see in one shanties there are three

play21:37

three families because that's the sister

play21:40

or that's the brother of the mother and

play21:44

the children so they are compressed in

play21:46

no incentives they share with one or two

play21:52

restaurants who is being used by other

play21:58

community residents there are tricycle

play22:01

drivers also just to augment a as income

play22:06

for the food of the family family of six

play22:09

family of ten whatever so that's hard

play22:13

life is in community slums they are

play22:18

saying that they can pay some rent in

play22:22

the maker and then installment basis

play22:25

because the government has a plan for

play22:29

development on that particular site the

play22:32

government is trying to resettle him but

play22:36

no resettlement area is being offered

play22:38

yet and the people usually doesn't like

play22:42

the resettlement because they will be

play22:44

away from the source of income which is

play22:47

the carbon market so the the they tend

play22:52

to say that the Philippines is already

play22:55

very rich and mining that behind those

play22:58

high building the poor people the

play23:02

squatters have been demolished just to

play23:04

papery for a certain activity of the

play23:07

government because they want to protect

play23:11

a very highly economic boom country

play23:18

undermining what are the needs of most

play23:21

of the majority the 70% of the poor

play23:24

people who are behind those high

play23:27

buildings

play23:28

[Music]

play24:41

[Applause]

play24:42

[Music]

play25:20

my fulfillment with my work is just

play25:25

being happy because when we can help

play25:29

other people and seeing their happy

play25:31

faces

play25:32

it seems that we will be you are also

play25:36

lying down happily on the night after

play25:40

the work in heaven simple thank you can

play25:44

always energize even if were very tired

play25:49

when we go to the communities and I

play25:53

inspired to work for the Visayas by my

play25:56

health care to help the poor people and

play25:59

the health is my house one of one reason

play26:04

why I'm seeing her for 30 years is to

play26:08

help poor people know in the urban poor

play26:12

communities the person's official faults

play26:14

the basics actors because we see that

play26:20

these persons are very poor depressed

play26:23

and need support services health

play26:25

services from us after I graduated they

play26:29

were in the hospital but I choose to

play26:31

work in the community because I saw the

play26:33

need I saw that I will be more effective

play26:37

and I can help more in the communities

play26:40

it's the joy that seeing them seeing

play26:45

them do their the manage themselves in

play26:51

sickness in their illness I think that

play26:55

they still need a lot of support for

play26:59

this because they do not earn much as a

play27:03

physician as a as a nurse they don't

play27:09

earn much but they do need to live they

play27:13

have families they do they have

play27:16

they have some of them still go to

play27:21

school to increase their knowledge like

play27:23

master's degree this could help us for

play27:28

our programs and services to sustain our

play27:31

programs and services although as you

play27:34

see it's still under construction so we

play27:37

still need some more than the nation's

play27:40

you can make so this can be the

play27:42

amenities can compete to the other I'm

play27:45

calling on doctors nurses health

play27:48

students all professionals and all well

play27:51

many people to come here to the BIOS to

play27:53

come here and serve and give your time

play27:55

to the various made the problem really

play27:57

is education people need to be educated

play28:00

need to be taught or it needs to be know

play28:04

how to keep themselves healthy so we're

play28:06

calling on all educated or just any

play28:08

simple ordinary people who love to work

play28:11

with poor people to come here to the

play28:13

grassroots and serve people here one of

play28:16

our program services is Surgeon General

play28:20

finances because if there is no

play28:22

penalties we cannot continue our health

play28:24

services no towards the needy people

play28:28

that's a big challenge for us fear we

play28:33

really need help because besides firming

play28:36

health care is an organization that will

play28:38

help the people that will serve the

play28:40

people and can heal the people

play28:57

you
