ICYMI: Capitol to train 16K BHWs on alternative health care
The Provincial Information Office, in a news release, said the measure was aimed at bringing the benefits of the “traditional and alternative ways of recovering from different illnesses, such as steam inhalation,” to remote areas in the province.
The PTHCS, according to the PIO, will be composed of agencies such as the departments of Science and Technology, Environment and Natural Resources, Agriculture, Health, Education and the Commission on Higher Education; experts on biomedical and environmental health, natural food, and traditional medicine, physicians, and academicians or researchers.
Various health groups have since expressed opposition against the use of tuob among COVID-19 patients. The Philippine Institute in Traditional and Alternative Health Care , on the contrary, issued a statement supporting the use of tuob to alleviate the symptoms of respiratory illness.
