Embracing "Unang Yakap-EINC"

Yesterday , i had a 'mixture' of emotions when i attended the seminar...
"Unang Yakap"...from pure excitement... to a grateful awe knowing that
 Dr. Cynthia F. Tan would be coming...( i look up to her as an icon and a strong-willed woman with conviction)
...to great fun for they captured the audience with delight and enthusiasm...no one felt sleepy!!



...i was even shocked with some of the new techniques and policies and procedures in the management of delivery knowing that what i've been doing for the past 10 years is already passe !! .... but yesterday surely was a very fruitful, informative and a blessed day.

This seminar is essentialy for doctors, nurses and midwives who handle maternal deliveries and newborn
care. Procedures taught here were evidence- based  so they were
proven to be safe and effective and may i add...economical and practical.



I was so happy as there were so many participants from the government sector...
.. Bustos Community Hospital led by its active Medical Directress Dr. Luz Aguinaldo...


and Bustos Rural Health Unit..



as well as from private sector..Sto. Nino Hospital



and Magpoc Maternity Hospital.



Everybody was so enthused with the lectures as there were heaps to learn.
I was so amazed with the new protocols which are now being followed by bigger hospitals in
Manila which have embraced "Unang Yakap EINC" in their program.



The program staff Dr. Fay de Ocampo (a neonatologist), Dr Gemma Gregorio (OB GYN) and
Dr. Renee Tana were so energetic and knows their craft by heart.
Each topic were well explained and  there was even a return demonstration.


I salute these young doctors who shared their time and talent despite their schedule . We will do our best to apply what we have learned so your efforts will not be put in vain.



Id forever be grateful to Dr. Cynthia F Tan who made this possible.  I really admire her dedication in the program. Everybody was so attentive as she gave her lecture in "stages of labor"even if it was very lazy time of the day.



Spending time with us is such an unselfish act because as we go back to our work and embraced EINC the knowledge we have learned from you could help save lives....  what could be more rewarding than that!




Id also like to thank my dear brother Mayor Arnel Mendoza... for his commitment to achieve the MDG 4&5 (Millenium Development Goal) of the government for which EINC is included...for his unwaivering support.



We will truly embrace "Unang Yakap EINC "!
