1. Ano ang Kalusugan?

- Ang kalusugan ay ang pagkawala ng sakit o karamdaman.
- Ang isang taong walang sakit ay mayroong mabuting kalusugan.
“Ngunit hindi ito sapat na kahulugan ng kalusugan.”
Ayon sa World Health Organization o WHO:
- Ang kalusugan ay ang isang estado ng pagiging masigla ang isip, katawan, at
pakikitungo sa iba. Hindi ito simpleng kawalan lamang ng sakit, kapansanan, o iba pang
karamdaman.
2. Mga Suliraning kinahaharap ng Sangay ng Kalusugan.
- Sobrang dami ng pagpasok ng pasyente.
- kakulangan ng pasilidad at kagamitan gaya ng kwarto, Hospital Bed, gamot at
kakulangan sa mga tauhan.
- hindi sapat ang dumadating na pondo para sa gamot dahil sa sobrang dami ng
pasyente.

II. Hamon ng Covid-19:

1. Mga dapat Tandaan:
a. Epidemya - Isang epidemya (mula sa Griyego ἐπί epi "sa o sa itaas" at δῆμος demo "mga tao")
ay ang mabilis na pagkalat ng nakahahawang sakit sa isang malaking bilang ng mga tao sa isang
ibinigay na populasyon sa loob ng isang maikling panahon, karaniwan ay dalawang linggo o mas
kaunti. Maaaring limitado ang isang epidemya sa isang lokasyon; gayunpaman, kung kumalat
ito sa ibang mga bansa o kontinente at nakakaapekto sa isang malaking bilang ng mga tao,
maaaring ito ay tinatawag na pandemic. https://mimirbook.com/tl/1d69dcf9bb2
b.Pandemya - Ang pandemya (mula sa Griyego παν pan lahat + δήμος demos tao) ay isang
epidemya ng nakakahawang sakit na kumakalat sa pamamagitan ng mga populasyon sa isang
malawak na rehiyon; halimbawa, isang lupalop, o kahit pandaigdigan.

c. Covid-19
Ø Ang pandemya ng COVID-19 ay isang patuloy na pandemya ng sakit ng koronabirus
2019 dulot ng SARS-CoV-2. Unang naiulat ang birus sa Wuhan, Hubei, Tsina, noong
Disyembre 2019. https://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemya_ng_COVID-19
Ø Ang coronavirus disease (COVID-19) ay isang nakahahawang sakit na dulot ng bagong
coronavirus. Karamihan sa mga taong magkakaroon ng impeksyon ay makararanas ng
hindi malalang sintomas at gagaling. Ngunit ang iba ay makararanas ng malubhang
sakit, lalo na sa mga matatanda at mga may dati nang karamdaman.
Mga tagubilin upang malaban ang Covid-19:

 Hugasan nang madalas ang iyong mga kamay

  Iwasan ang paghawak sa iyong mata, ilong at bibig
 Takpan ang iyong ubo at bahing
 Iwasan ang matatao na lugar at malapit na pakikipagsalamuha sa taong may
lagnat o ubo
 Manatili sa bahay kung ikaw ay may sakit
 Kung ikaw ay may lagnat, ubo at hirap sa pag-hinga, magpakonsulta agad –
ngunit tawagan mo muna ang health facility
 Kumuha ng impormasyon sa mapagkakatiwalaang awtoridad

Basahing mabuti ang mga pahayag sa ibaba mula sa mga iba’t ibang bansa.

Ø India – Sudhanshu Kumar

“In our country quarantine is being implemented without delay. All visas have been
cancelled except diplomatic and absolute essential. All college, schools, gyms, cinema,
religious places, tourist places, zoos, etc. have been closed. Every time you call on mobile
the caller tune has been changed to information on Covid-19 with advice on what to do. All
functions and meetings have been cancelled.”
Ø Philippines – Ryan Gamboa
“President Rodrigo Duterte declared a National State of Calamity in the Philippines for a
period of 6 months. Luzon, the island where our capital, Metro Manila is located, will be
on lockdown until April 12, 2020. Military personnel will move in to critical areas to
impose order and discipline.”
Ø United Kingdom – Paul Temple
“On the evening of March 23rd the Prime Minister put the country on lockdown. Only
essential workers, which includes farmers and the food chain, will continue. All shops
other than food and chemist to close. No gatherings allowed, at all. No weddings,
baptisms-just funerals and those are done with family members only.”
Ø Colombia – Jose Luis Gonzalez Chacon
“In Colombia we are on total shutdown. The central government doesn’t provide much
in terms of feeding to some regions. So the local authorities are taking actions to help
them get all that they need in this situation.”
Ø Nicaragua – Javier Callejas
“As of March 16, 2020 here in Nicaragua the country is in national alert. The first case
of Covid-19 in the country was reported on March 18th. Just about all countries in the
immediate region have reported cases in their respective countries and are in lockdown
mode.”
Ø Argentina – Julio Speroni
“Here in Argentina we are under a RED ALERT which started March 16th. All flights
from Europe had been suspended to the very minimum, the only fights allowed in are
those that bring back Argentine Nationals. Those foreigners who still fly in are forced to
do a 14 day quarantine on a specific location and are subject to the criminal law if they
break the quarantine.”
 Ø United States – Mark Heckman
“I heard a person say this is like a 9/11 situation in the US. I think we have to accept as
individuals that the virus will most likely affect everyone. And we have to eventually
create our own plan to put ourselves in a position to realize that our healthcare services
cannot adequately treat the patients if everyone were to get it in the next month.”
Ø Nigeria – Onyaole Patience Koku
“There is a travel ban from countries that have over 1,000 cases. One Nigerian state has
banned church and public gatherings.”
Ø Zimbabwe – Ruramiso Mashumba
“Our main concern is if we lock down how will we sustain our workforce / community?
Farmers are close to harvest and at a place where we have no extra income. I am
planning my wheat crop and need certain services to make this happen.”
