In partnership with the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental through the Provincial Health Office, the DoH-10 wrapped up the 2023 HRH KAMUSTAHAN SA MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL with the theme “Striking a balance by integrating the 12S of stress management“ held at MOPAC Grandstand, Oroquieta City on November 28.

In his opening remarks, MPH Development Management Officer Dr. Geric O. Entia said the annual activity serves as expressing gratitude to healthcare workers relentlessly providing health services to the people of Misamis Occidental.

“Usa ni ka activity sa DOH para ma check nato kung kumusta na ang atoang health workers nga na assign dinhi sa Misamis Occidental,” he said.

Dr. Entia cited Governor Henry S. Oaminal’s full support to the health workers assigned in Misamis Occidental.

“Kami sa DOH dako kaayo ang among pasalamat sa imong supporta ilabi na sa atong Human Resources for Health nga nag serbisyo dinhi sa atong probinsya. Salamat kaayo Gov ug Mabuhay ka Gov,” he added.

In Gov. Oaminal’s message read and delivered by Vice Governor Rowena Gutierrez, the governor emphasized the need for the health workers “to strike a balance by integrating Stress Management program for Health Care Workers under the Human Resources for Health of the National Health Workforce Support System.

“We have heard it many times during our battle with COVID-19 – that our modern-day heroes now primarily include health workers who risked their lives just to ensure that health services are delivered at the very crucial time of the pandemic," Oaminal said as quoted by Gutierrez.

Gov. Oaminal also honored health workers and all lifesavers for their dedication to delivering health services to the people.

The government emphasized the healthcare workers’ vital role in achieving and building resilient medical and health systems that can better respond to health challenges in the field.

“Thank you DOH, IPHO, and to all doctors, nurses, and every health worker of this province. Continue to give your best service and always wear your smile as it can be very contagious to your patients facing their own health battles. Rest if you must; reboot if you need to; destress if you have to – but never stop because you are carrying with you one of the most noble jobs in the world.

As the leader of the province, Gov. Oaminal assured health workers that he is one with this endeavor and he firmly supports the DOH programs on giving interventions on stress management and wellness programs for health workers deployed to various health settings.

“Kabahin sa atong pagkab-ot para ang mga Misamisnon Magpuyong Malinawon, Malambuon ug Malipayon – we need to ensure that those who serve in the frontlines are also well taken care of and are happy and mentally stable as they do their jobs,” Oaminal said.

The National Health Work Support System is in charge of the deployment, redistribution, and retainment of health workers in the province “to provide better access to quality health services and improve health outcomes within communities.”
