GARANTISADONG PAMBATA 2008

Olongapo City is observing ‘Garantisadong Pambata Week’ 2008 themed “GP8 Child-Survivloal Package- KIDS CAN’T WAIT”. Garantisadong Pambata promotes positive child behaviors, proper health care, and nutrition for children.

“Kasama sa mga components ng programang Garatisadong Pambata ay ang libreng vitamin A sa mga batang 1-5 taong gulang, pagbabakuna sa sanggol, pagpupurga, karagdagang iodine para sa tamang paglaki at maiwasan ang pagkakaroon ng goiter (bosyo) at food fortification,” said City Nutritionist Richel Eve Torralba.

“Kabilang din sa programa ang breastfeeding dahil, sinisigurado na ang pagpapasuso ng ina ay makakakuha ng tamang nutrisyon para sa sanggol. Ang breastfeeding ay sigurado na malinis, masustansya at hindi magastos para sa pamilya,” added Torralba.

“Ang Safe Toys promotion din ay parte ng Garantisadong Pambata. Ilan sa mga dapat tandaan kapag bumibili ng laruan para sa inyong mga anak ay dapat malinis, hindi nakakalason, walang matalas o matulis na bahagi, hindi maingay o maaring makabingi sa bata, may itututuro o nakakapagbigay aral, nagpapalago ng isipan, hindi de kuryente o de baterya at walang maliliit na parte na maaring malunok,” explained Torralba.

The Garantisadong Pambata campaign is implemented in the seventeen (17) barangays of the city, two times a year during the months of April and October. Mayor James ‘Bong’ Gordon Jr. supports the campaign which is part of his ongoing health program for Olongapeños.

On October 30, 2008, the City Nutrition Council will launch the Supplemental Feeding in Barangay Baretto for ninety (90) malnourished children.
