Mass Deworming sa mga piling paaralan sa lungsod, isinasagawa BFP

Ni: FB Tumalad

LUNGSOD NG SORSOGON, Hunyo 21 (PIA) – Matapos ang matagumpay na inspeksyon  ng Sorsogon City BFP sa mga pampublikong silid aralan sa lungsod ng Sorsogon, ay nagsasagawa naman ang mga ito ngayon ng malawakang deworming activity o pamumurga sa mga piling paaralan sa Sorsogon.

Ayon kay BFP City Public Information Officer FO1 Maria Gracia E. Corral, unang nabiyayaan ng kanilang programa ang mahigit kumulang sa 150  na mga mag-aaral ng Our Village Village sa Bibincahan Sorsogon City noong Hunyo 13, 2013.

Ang nasabing programa na pinamagatang “Deworming Day” ay pinangunahan ng masigasig na opisyal at hepe ng City BFP na si SInsp Walter Badong Marcial.

Sa pahayag naman ni SInsp Marcial, sinabi nitong bago tuluyang isinagawa ang deworming sa nasabing paaralan ay nauna nang ipinaliwanag ng grupo ni Chief Emergency Medical Service Team FO1 Maricur Destajo sa mga magulang ang kahalagahan ng kalinisan sa katawan o ang kaugaliang paghuhugas palagi ng kanilang mga kamay bago at matapos kumain.

Hiningi din ni SInsp Marcial ang suporta at giya ng mga magulang ng sa gayon ay matuto ang mga bata ng kalinisan.Sa oras na naging ritwal na sa mga bata ang kalinisan ay mababawasan ang posibilidad na magkaroon sila ng bulate o Parasite Helminths sa katawan.

Ang nasabing parasito ay may malaki at negatibong epekto sa pisikal at mental na aspeto ng mga bata. Base sa Livestrong.com,  kadalasang epekto ng parasito  sa bata ang kawalan ng ganang kumain na nagreresulta sa mabilis na pagbaba ng timbang ng mga ito at diarrhea o pagtatae na maaring mauwi sa dehydration.

Isang paraan ang deworming program ng BFP upang makatulong sa mamamayan upang mapanatili ang malusog na pangangatawan.

Bukas, Hunyo 24, 2013, ay naka-eskedyul naman silang magsasagawa ng deworming activity sa Sorsogon Pilot Elementary School. (FBTumalad, PIA Sorsogon)
