More than a year ago since the Republic Act #: 10354 otherwise known as the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law of 2012 has been passed and signed by our President Benigno Simeon Aquino III and yet the Supreme Court is still on debate regarding the implementation of the law. 

Likhaan Center for Womens Health  initiated an online campaign #Yes2RH together with other frustrated reproductive health advocates and supporters taking the fight through social media. The Philippine Society of Sexual & Reproductive Health Nurses (PSORHN) supports this campaign to urge the supreme court to decide for the implementation of the law. 

Featured Nurse: Nurse Educator

Nowadays, there a lot of nurses who are unemployed and there are those who recently passed the board examination that adds to this number. Many of them want to be employed in hospitals and clinics, which our colleagues see as the only option to practice their profession.

However, there are a lot of non-hospital based, nursing-related works to venture into. These include being an educator, a medical representative, a BPO agent, a project officer, in the armed forces, in the police force and a whole lot more.

Let me share with you the story of my friend.

Universal Health Care and the Philippines

“60% of Filipinos who die, die without health professional attendance.”

What a big percentage and its alarming huh!  Would you want to die without seeing any health care professionals? I bet you, your answer is NO.

Now, this is the time for us to learn, study and know the Universal Health Care; the Aquino Health Agenda.

Universal Health Care?.. What is it?.

Imagine a picture of a poor Filipino patient on a government hospital, with financial incapability to buy medicines, to undergo diagnostic procedures or even pay the hospital bills - a major concern of the family is on how to procure medicines and how to pay for their hospital bills. This is clearly a common situation we found in the hospitals or in other health care facilities in our country, isn't it?

RP RH Law Pasok!..

RH Bill?..
Tapos na yan!.. 

RH Law na tayo at eto na nga yun eh!..

Ilang taon din ba nating ipinaglaban ang usapin tungkol sa RH Bill na ngayon ay batas na, mga mahigit sa isang dekada lang naman diba?.

Ilang rally na ba ang naganap?.. Ilang pagtitipon?. 

Hindi na mabilang, sa sobrang dami..
