Title of Activity: Q1K MEDICAL MISSION

Participants: 100 beneficiaries
Venue: Plaza Narra
I. RATIONALE:
The F1K Program involves the delivery of an intervention package that is focused on the
first 1000 days of life or the period of pregnancy (270 days) which starts from conception,
followed by the first two years of life (730 days). This recognizes the golden window of
opportunity during which key interventions of health, nutrition, social services and early learning
must be available and delivered for the optimum growth and development of the child. This is
also the period during which poor nutrition can cause irreversible effects on the physical and
mental development of the child, consequences of which are felt way into adulthood.
In connection with the F1K Program initiative of the NATIONAL NUTRITION COUNCIL, the
QUEZON’S FIRST 1000 DAYS OF LIFE (Q1K) PROGRAM was launched in 2015 and initially implemented in
twelve (12) pilot municipalities. The program aims to optimize the health interventions for both
the mother and child during this crucial period. This year, Q1K advances to a province-wide
implementation. As per Ordinance No. 2016-55 entitled “An Ordinance Creating the Quezon’s
First 1000 Days of Life Program (Q1K) and its Adoption in All City/Municipal Government of
Quezon Province”, each city/municipality shall create and adopt the Q1K Program to uphold the
right to health of every Quezonian mother and child during the first 1000 days of life, directing
every local government unit to focus and commit to ensuring the delivery of quality services.
