ZAMBOANGA CITY -- Some 70 barangay health workers (BHWs) are undergoing a two-day interactive training intended to hone their professional and personal skills.
Dr. Dulce Amor Miravite, City Health Office chief, said the training, which started Thursday until Friday, also aims to maximize the implementation of Republic Act 7883, the law that grants benefits and incentives to accredited BHWs.
Miravite said the BHWs are expected to fully understand and implement the Implementing Rules and Regulations of R.A. 7883 as well as have the access to resources and opportunities that will hone their professional and personal skills being frontline workers.
She said R.A. 7883 or the Barangay Health Workers’ Benefits and Incentives Act of 1995, grants benefits and incentives to accredited BHWs for voluntary health services rendered to the community. (PNA)
