Discover how the Department of Health in the Philippines has reached a significant milestone by administering measles vaccinations to over 646,000 children nationwide.

A seven-day eye care mission led by key figures in the Bangsamoro government has brought hope and transformation to marginalised communities in Central Mindanao. This project was spearheaded by Regional Parliament Member Kadil Monera Sinolinding Jr. and Bangsamoro Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim. The lives of thirty-six ophthalmic patients, including those with squint-eye conditions, were offered services. As the mission concluded, its success underscores the importance of accessible healthcare services and collaborative initiatives in addressing the needs of vulnerable populations.

In response to a concerning surge in measles cases, particularly in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), health authorities have launched an extensive house-to-house vaccination drive.
