Project Title: 1st City Health Congress

Theme: YamanGensan, YamanKalusugan:
Serving the best of health, City Health Office as a center of wellness
I.

Rationale
The city health office has been working to have more effective and efficient
delivery of integrated health services to the barangay level. With its present
limitations in personnel, resources, and the wide array in the scope of area and
population, it calls for more creative and innovative way of decentralizing health
services to 26 barangays of the General Santos City. This would involve the active
and meaningful participation of public and private health sectors.
The Health Summit is designed for LGU, NGOs, hospitals, health care providers,
health leaders, individuals, and other health partners to share evidence-based
holistic programs which will enable them to effectively present the present health
situation in the city, to showcase their health related activities and their best practices
to achieve Millennium Development Goals and to strengthen the public-private health
partnership.
Moreover, awareness and updates on various program implementations is
essential to illustrate the potential of improving the knowledge, skills, and attitude of
each health organization through benchmarking of the most effective and efficient
practices for the betterment of health care delivery system in the city.
