THE Child Health Advocate Program of the city government was relaunched by Mayor Belen Fernandez to promote health services to all families in the city.
The program was launched by Mayor Fernandez during her first term as mayor in 2019 and partnered with the Department of Education (DepEd) to encourage pupils to tell their teachers how their health and that of their friends in school that may need medical attention. The reports in turn are forwarded to the City Health Office (CHO) who will assess the situations in the barangays, assisted by doctors, barangay nurses and health workers. To further support the program, her Home Visitation program is performed by city hall volunteers to make on-sight assessment of residents needing medical care. These activities are among the mayor’s ‘Alagang Healthy Dagupeño’ programs that include FREE medical services of CHO like X-ray, lab tests, CT-Scan, ECG and ultrasound in Dagupan City Diagnostic Center.
