Profile
Training has always been an important function of an organization. For this reason, the Community Health and Nursing Services reaches out to its constituents through basic health care by providing access of health services among affected/ vulnerable groups by utilizing intensive trainings as its main strategy in the implementation of its community programs.
The Community Health and Nursing Services (CHNS) offers training programs such as Basic Health Education Program and the Primary Health Care (Community- Based Health Program). We are offering these programs to equip knowledge and skills among qualified trainees and volunteers to provide quality health care among vulnerable communities. With our Basic Health Education Program, we are providing specialized training for professional nurses and student nurses. These are Home Nursing (HN) and Disaster Nursing (DN). Our HN graduates are sent to the field to help our chapters to teach rural folks how to become nurses in their homes. Those on DN help us look after the emergency health needs of disaster victims. Both groups are volunteers of the Red Cross.
We also cater to a wide range of community health needs. Targeting vulnerable groups (e.g. children, women, elderly, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, handicapped) our key strategy involves community-based skills training and manpower mobilization. Through our Primary Health Care Program, we are able to provide health care services to the affected population making sure that they do not acquire any disease and spread of disease is controlled and prevented. Information dissemination campaigns are what we also give to raise people's awareness and promote health and wellness. We believe that empowering people with knowledge on how to promote and prevent the occurrence of a disease will help them to be self-reliant and able to manage their own health.
