Katulad ng mga babaylan na ehemplo ng pagtataguyod ng kalusugan, ang makabagong Pilipina ay maalam sa kanyang reproductive health.

Sa pagtatapos ng Buwan ng Kababaihan, ipinagpapatuloy natin ang diwa ng kanilang paglilingkod sa pamamagitan ng pabibigay kaalaman tungkol sa women’s reproductive health at family planning methods.

Dahil ang kakayahang magpasya kung kailan at ilan ang magiging anak ay mahalagang bahagi ng kalusugan ng bawat babae.

Mabuhay ang mga Pilipina! 💜

📘✨MEDIKODIKSYONARYO ✨📘

Narito ang ilang mga sintomas na karaniwang naririnig mula sa mga pasyente. Alamin ang tamang kahulugan at teknikal na paggamit ng mga ito. Tandaan ang kanilang English translation upang maiwasan ang magtanong ng, “Ano po iyon sa English?’”

Maaari din kayong magbigay ng mga sintomas na bago sa inyong pandinig sa Filipino. 🤔 Huwag mahiyang magbahagi ng inyong mga komento! ⬇️📪

📍 Tunghayan ang susunod pang mga salita na nais naming ibahagi sa inyo! Sama-sama nating tangkilikin ang paggamit ng wikang Filipino upang makapagbigay ng serbisyong pangkalusugang aksisible, makamasa at naaayon sa pangangailangan ng bawat pasyenteng Pilipino.

OPISYAL NA PAHAYAG NG UP MSC SA PAGKA-ARESTO NI DR. ANA MARIE RILLAROZA

Mariing kinokondena ng UP Medicine Student Council ang pag-aresto kay Dr. Ana Marie Rilloraza noong Marso 11, 2026 sa Tarlac City sa isinagawang joint operation ng pulisya at militar, kasama ang 10 pang mga indibidwal. Ang mga paratang laban sa kanya, kabilang ang umano’y ugnayan sa tinatawag na “Ilocos-Cordillera Regional Committee,” ay tahasang kinukuwestiyon ng mga organisasyong pangkalusugan at karapatang pantao na nananawagan ng agarang paggalang sa kanyang mga batayang karapatan.

Hindi krimen ang maglingkod sa bayan. Si Dr. Rilloraza ay nagtapos sa UP College of Medicine Class of 1993 at naging bahagi ng pagtatatag ng PAGSAMA, isang organisasyong medikal na nakatuon sa serbisyong panlipunan. Kalaunan, siya rin ay naging lider sa Community Health Education, Services, and Training in the Cordillera Region (CHESTCORE), kung saan pinangunahan niya ang mga medikal na misyon sa liblib at nasalantang mga komunidad at nagsanay ng daan-daang community health workers. Kilala rin siya sa kanyang adbokasiyang pangkalikasan, kabilang ang paglalantad sa epekto ng malakihang pagmimina sa kalusugan at kapaligiran bilang bahagi ng Save the Abra River Movement. Ang ganitong uri ng gawain ay mahalagang bahagi ng pagtugon sa kakulangan ng serbisyong pangkalusugan sa mga lugar na matagal nang napapabayaan.

Ang kanyang pagka-aresto ay nagdulot ng matinding pangamba sa mga health workers at organisasyong naglilingkod sa komunidad. Ang pagdakip sa mga community doctors ay hindi lamang usapin ng indibidwal na karapatan kundi banta rin sa mas malawak na layunin ng pampublikong kalusugan at akses sa serbisyong medikal. Binibigyang-diin din ang pangangailangang tiyakin ang due process, presumption of innocence, at makataong pagtrato sa lahat ng inaresto.

Bilang mga mag-aaral ng medisina, malinaw na ang kalusugan ay karapatan. Ang pag-aresto sa isang doktor na buong-buhay na naglingkod sa maralita ay hindi hiwalay na pangyayari kundi bahagi ng mas malawak na konteksto ng pag-atake sa mga sektor na nagsusulong ng karapatang pantao at serbisyong panlipunan. Hinihingi ng konseho ang agarang pagpapalaya kay Dr. Ana Marie Rilloraza, ang pagbasura sa lahat ng gawa-gawang kaso laban sa kanya at sa iba pang inaresto, ang ganap na paggalang sa kanyang mga karapatan.

Hindi krimen ang malasakit. Hindi krimen ang maglingkod. Hindi krimen ang ipaglaban ang karapatan sa kalusugan. PALAYAIN SI DR. ANA! IBASURA ANG MGA GAWA-GAWANG KASO!
