CONSTRUCTION OF BASIC HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

AND IMPROVEMENT OF HEALTH EDUCATION IN
MINDANAO’S RURAL COMMUNITIES
MARY JANELLE RODRIGUEZ

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
According to the Department of Health (2022), one of the challenges of today’s health system is
access to health care services. Currently, 70% of people who live in rural areas struggle due to their lack
of or restricted access to high-quality inpatient and outpatient medical facilities. With a population of 24
million, Mindanao has historically had the highest rates of poverty in the Philippines. Some rural
Mindanao communities had either very little or no access to primary care services. The provision of
health services is hindered by a lack of human resources, including physicians, nurses, and midwives, as
well as necessities like electricity, telephones, and laptops with internet access. This project aims to
construct a basic health care facility in rural areas in Mindanao in order to provide the residents of this
community with access to basic health care services (such as treatments for malaria, cholera, measles,
hypertension, diabetes, etc.) as well as community health education for the prevention of diseases and
maintenance of wellbeing. Once the clinic is constructed, the Government of Mindanao must agree to
provide healthcare workers and supply basic medicines for the clinic. Educational activities like seminars
aimed to promote good health practices, prevention and management of diseases as well as counselling
will be provided by trained staff supplied by the Government. The residents of Mindanao have come
together to launch a fundraising effort to assist in building the health center in order to aid in the
realization of this project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
a. Problem Statement
There are around 24 million people living in Mindanao. Giving everyone access to proper
health care is a challenge for some of the rural communities in this area. Everyone who need
medical care commutes on foot, and it typically takes 30 to 1 hour to go to the nearest medical
center. Due to the poor condition of the local roads, it can be challenging to arrange transportation
to reach mother and child health facilities late at night. As a result, a lot of pregnant women give
birth at home or while traveling without medical assistance. Child mortality is increased as a
result of this. The majority of people who live in this community are uninsured. The community
are also faced with an insufficient drug supply in the clinic.
b. Project Goal and Objectives

 To construct and enhance the health facilities that provide all necessary services for the
residents of rural community in Mindanao
 To provide improved health services both at curative and preventive treatment to the
Mindanao’s Rural Community
 To care for patients in need, especially the underprivileged, women and children.
 To offer equal services to the indigenous people
 To extend the service to all unreached places
 To provide free counselling and testing to the local community
 To conduct seminar that promote good health practices
 To provide health education emphasizing family planning, hygiene, sanitation, and
prevention of communicable diseases.
c. Project outcomes/ Results

 The primary outcome is that the communities will have easily accessible medical
facilities that offer fair services to everyone and aid in healing and saving lives.
 The communities will increase awareness regarding family planning, sanitation, hygiene
and good health practices.
 It will improve the general wellbeing of the people and the neighbourhood by assisting
expectant mothers in having safer births and offering preventative treatments
 Free health education on topics including diabetes, hypertension, malaria, and childhood
immunizations, as well as access to treatments for illnesses like waterborne illnesses.
 It will contribute to the local economy by keeping people healthy enough to work
throughout the agricultural season will boost their ability to make money and meet some

education and food.)
