Strengthening community health care through the NCD LOVE Project in Talim Island On January 9-10, over 80 Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) were trained on Safeguarding, Gender-Based Violence, and Gender Intersectionality, ensuring they are equipped to support and protect those at risk, especially women and girls. As frontline responders, their role in building safer and more inclusive communities is crucial. Gender influences an individual’s health, access to services, and vulnerability to violence. Women and girls, in particular, face unique health risks due to gender-based discrimination, limited access to healthcare, and a higher risk of violence. Understanding these dynamics helps health workers provide more responsive and equitable care. ---------------- The #NCD LOVE (Non-Communicable Diseases Localized Ownership and Value-driven Empowerment) project aims to improve access to healthcare and empower local health systems to address non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Implemented by CARE Philippines and the Southern Tagalog People's Response Center - STPRC, Inc. with support from the #Tijori Foundation, the project focuses on strengthening community health through partnerships with local government units (LGUs) and community stakeholders. #ActOnNCDs #CAREAlwaysThere
