The same training was customized for another set of participants on 26-27 July 2007, composed mainly of representatives of various Barangay Health Emergency Response Teams (BHERTs) in the region. The next batch of training will be held for Regions 4A, 4B, 5, and the National Capital Region (NCR) on 27-31 August 2007 in Taytay. Rizal. |
