Importance:
There is a COVID19 outbreak, epidemic, pandemic now in the Philippines.
Although most cases at the moment as of March 29, 2020 are reported (concentrated) in Metro Manila, the projection is eventually they will occur in the provinces.
The rural health units are the first contact of the Filipinos in the provinces. They provide primary health care services to the Filipinos in the barangays. They constitute the first line of defense againt the fight against COVID10. They can provide prevention and mitigation services at least if not curative services.
The rural health units are usually not well equipped. Donations are pouring in more for the hospitals and less for the rural health units. The rural health units are also considered frontliners.
ROJDonors-MuRelief-HelpThru will initiate programs of support to the RHUs (target all, but prioritized - may not be able to cover all)
Mechanics:
Identify MU brods and sisses who are currently doctors to the barrios and municipal health officers managing rural health units in the country.
The Mu brods and sisses will serve a Mu Relief Coordinators in their respective RHUs.
They will come out with a proactive program that will ensure COVID19-free pr COVID19-contained community and if not free, NO patient dies of COVID-19 and NO health worker die of COVID19..
ROJoson Donors through HelpThru will initially finance each of the Mu Relief Coordinators P25K to P50K worth of PPE and N95 masks.
The Mu Relief Coordinators will submit a program and development plan against COVID19 and report the implementation results at planned intervals.
The Mu Relief Coordinators may receive further funding from ROJoson Donors if there is deemed a good program design and development plan and evidence of good implementation.
Goals:
To ensure
COVID19-free or COVID19-contained community through a well-designed program
NO patient dies of COVID19 through a well-designed program
NO health workers die of COVID19 through a well-designed program
