Commission on Population and Development (POPCOM) Region I and the local government unit of San Nicolas are gifting women with much-needed medical services to protect their health.
Based on the report of Rural Health Unit (RHU), 18 women had progestin sub-dermal implant (PSI) on June 21 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
The new family planning method called Progestin Sub-dermal implant (PSI) is an effective approach to meeting the global need for more beneficial and convenient manner of birth spacing among women.
Mayor Alice explained the implant consists of a single, matchstick-sized rod that contains the hormone progestin. The contraceptive implant is inserted in the left arm of right-handed women and vice-versa, and can provide protection up to three to five years
The doctor-mayor also thanked POPCOM through the concerted efforts of Joan E. Casildo, POPCOM representative; Provincial Population Officers Junjun M. Roboza and Jeannie E. Sison; and Jewel Rey D. Padilla, district population officer.
This regular program is open to interested women who may have their names listed to Ms. Mercy Cainar of RHU.
