Project Description:
This project is to help test Persons Under Monitoring (PUM) and Persons Under Investigation (PUI), Bauan Medical Center, the government owned hospital has provided a space in the hospital for Covid patients but the space is not enough for the sudden increase of suspected cases, the mobile clinic along with the health workers will be able to go to the homes of PUM and PUI to test them instead of them crowding the hospital waiting to get tested for Covid 19, this will help prevent the spread of the disease by preventing the suspected patients from going out of their home. The people of Bauan Township are in desperate need of medical care. The project will also provide general health care to the people in each barangay, The project will also aim to train each barangay in basic health care. With this mobile clinic, immediate assistance can now be provided to the remote barangays in the municipality where access to medical and health care in their community is totally non-existent.
Community Need: Based on our community needs assessment, we found that with the provision of a mobile clinic, the Bauan General Hospital staff and health workers will be able to do their job efficiently and with faster contact tracing results.
