NARRATIVE REPORT ON SCHOOL BASED DEWORMING DAY

January 5, 2018

It is health that is real wealth and not the pieces of gold and silver. -
- Mahatma Gandhi

Advocating for a good holistic health is an increasingly important function in

schools. Promoting the healthy well being of children and young people is

recognized as a shared responsibility done not only by members of the school

system but also by the health workers of the community.

Community health workers also known as promoter, health access workers,

care coordinators and the like play a vital role in reducing health care costs,

improving access to quality clinical and preventative services, and advancing health

outcomes for the school and communities in which they serve. This is manifested in

the service they rendered at Alitagtag National High School on the NATIONAL

DEWORMING DAY held on January 5, 2018. The event was headed by Nurse

Katrina Adan- Dimaunahan and Nurse Jonathan Adan. Their dedication to make this

advocacy possible greatly benefited seventy-two (72) students of ANHS. However,

the participants were very few due to the misconception of the medication given to

the students. Nonetheless, the event was considered a success.
