Posted on 5 July 2008 PRIMEX has completed conducting a total of eight batches of provincial training/orientation on dengue prevention and control benefiting a total of 890 participants across the country from February to June this year. The training series, which also targeted community leaders and non-health personnel, was a major deliverable under the extension phase of the Philippine subproject of the ADB regional technical assistance to address the outbreak of SARS, Avian Influenza, and other emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) (RETA 6108). The training workshops were organized and managed by PRIMEX in close collaboration with the DOH’s National Center for Disease Prevention and Control (NCDPC), under the leadership of Dr. Lyndon Leesuy, Program Manager, and delivered by a training team composed of senior technical experts in dengue prevention and control. The training integrated Dengue Management Training for Primary Health Workers and Hospital Personnel with simplified orientation on Dengue for Community Leaders and Non-Health Personnel. The first leg of the training caravan was held on 25-29 February 2008 in Cebu City for a total of 110 participants from Region VII. Succeeding batches were held in Davao City on 11-13 March 2008 for 148 participants from Regions X, XI, XII, and Caraga Region; Angeles City on 25-28 March 2008 for 167 participants including the Barangay Health Emergency Response Team (BHERTS) from Regions I, II, III and CAR; Aklan on 8-11 April 2008 for 73 participants from Region XI; Zamboanga City on 21-25 April 2008 for 122 participants from Region IX and ARMM; Tacloban City on 20-22 May 2008 for 92 participants from Region XIII; and in Los Banos, Laguna on 3-5 June 2008 for 160 participants from Regions IV-A, IV-B, V, and NCR. A separate Training for Primary Health Workers and Hospital Personnel in the island provinces of ARMM was held on 6-8 May 2008 in Cotabato City. During the training, the critical role of local government units (LGUs) and other non-health agencies (such as DepED, DPWH, DILG, and DENR) was underscored as key to dengue prevention at the local level. In parallel with the training series, a community-based dengue prevention initiative, Communication for Behavior Impact (COMBI) was launched in two sites: La Trinidad, Benguet Province and San Fernando City, Pampanga.
