An initiative of Vice Mayor Vicky Vega-Cabigting, Buntis Assembly engages the services of health professionals to equip participants with vital knowledge and resources to ensure healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries.
“This initiative is part of our Kalusugan Program, aimed at supporting pregnant women in our community,” shared Vega-Cabigting. “We provide essential pregnancy kits and invite health experts to share vital information on how expectant mothers can care for themselves and their children.”
The Buntis Assembly underscored the city’s commitment to empower women with the necessary prenatal knowledge and tips for self-care and infant health.
