| Abstract | This study is a review of the performance of the Community
Health through Integrated Local Development Project (CHILDP) in
the course of its implementation in the province of Davao Norte
particularly in two barangays of the municipality of Asuncion,
the study area.
Since the project called for collaborative efforts from the
government agencies s u ch as the NEDA, DOH, the local governments,
the CHILD Project team from t h e Institute of Primary Health care
and from the community itself, the CHILDP provided for a
mech anism that called for mobilizing t h e people to contribute to
the solution of t h eir own h ealth problems.
With the involvement of the community , particularly the
community women in health projects and activities through the
rendering of voluntary health services , the health situation of
the community improved considerably. As more and more households
were provided access to safe drinking water, sanitary waste
disposal, regular child immunization and basic care , prenatal
care and immunization, as well as the regular house-to-house
survey from and interaction with the health volunteers, there is
a noticeable improvement in the overall health picture of the
CHILD Project areas particularly those covered in the study .
Throughout the implementation of the CHILD Project, means to
improve the delivery of primary health care services to the
grassroots in underserved communities in the rural areas of
Davao province have been tried and desired results have been
satisfactorily achieved. |
