The trained youth leaders from this project have been leaders in promoting public awareness on the importance of folic acid supplementation, birth defects prevention, and newborn screening in promoting birth outcomes in the community.

Project Kabilin Kalusugan aims to enlighten women of reproductive age on their need for preconception health and instill positive health-seeking behavior before entering pregnancy. The project hopes to prevent adverse maternal and child birth outcomes by empowering women through increasing not only their awareness but more importantly their knowledge on the importance of having a healthy lifestyle, infection prevention, good nutrition and family planning/contraception. The project is the first youth-led preconception health program in the Philippines.
