[TASK 4]

kindly share what is/are the intervention(s)
identified?

achieving in filling the identified health gap(s)?
If the answer to previous question is NO, kindly
share the reason you believe in the lack of
intervention(s) to address the health gap
identified
Now review the current health
programs and policies you have in your
community. Are there any current
interventions helpful in addressing the
health gap that you identified?
If YES – what are the intervention(s)?
Are they successful in addressing the
identified health gap(s)?
If NO – what do you think the reason for
the lack of program / policy in
addressing the identified health gap?
☒ YES
☐ NO
An example is the REB (Reach every Barangay)
strategy of the NIP, which entails barangay visits
by the health workers, in order to extend health
services to people. By bringing the services to
them, and personally elaborating facts about
health programs, acceptance of health services
by the people in community may increase.
Partly yes, partly no.
Before the pandemic, the people have been open
to the health services rendered, however, ever
since the Covid pandemic commenced, their view
of medical practices have been tarnished, and the
REB strategy had also stopped, leading to poor
health service acceptance. Currently, we are
trying to gradually regain their trust and
openness to science of medicine and its practices.
