The National Nutrition Council (NNC) supports the Department of Health’s (DOH) advisory reminding the public to remain vigilant against hantaviruses and other rodent-borne diseases through proper sanitation, food safety, and preventive health practices.

While there are currently no confirmed cases of hantavirus in the Philippines, maintaining clean surroundings and observing proper hygiene remain important in reducing health risks associated with rodent infestation and environmental contamination.

The NNC also encourages the public to follow the Pinggang Pinoy food guide by consuming balanced meals consisting of Go, Grow, and Glow foods in appropriate portions. Staying properly hydrated, maintaining an active lifestyle, and making healthy food choices are likewise important in promoting overall health and well-being, especially during the summer season.

To help prevent rodent-borne diseases:

- Keep homes and surroundings clean
- Store food and water properly
- Practice proper waste disposal
- Avoid direct contact with rodent droppings and nesting materials
- Wear gloves and face masks when cleaning potentially contaminated areas
- Disinfect contaminated surfaces before sweeping or wiping to minimize airborne particles

Individuals experiencing symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, or difficulty breathing following possible exposure to rodents are advised to seek immediate medical consultation.

By keeping our surroundings clean, practicing proper hygiene, and making healthy lifestyle and food choices, we can all contribute to preventing disease and promoting safer and healthier communities.

NNC Region X brought you another episode of 𝗙𝟭𝗞 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: 𝗔 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗔 𝟭𝟭𝟭𝟰𝟴. 🤱✨

Do you know who the priority groups of Republic Act 11148, “𝙆𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙜𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙩 𝙉𝙪𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙮𝙤𝙣 𝙣𝙜 𝙈𝙖𝙜-𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙮 𝘼𝙘𝙩," are? Let’s learn more about Section 5: Coverage of this Act. 🧐

This Act covers those who are 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆-𝗮𝘁-𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸, especially pregnant and lactating women, particularly teenage mothers, women of reproductive age, adolescent girls, and all Filipino children aged 0-24 months old.

Priority shall be given to those who reside in disaster-prone areas and Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA), such as areas that are isolated due to distance, inaccessibility to transportation, and weather conditions; unserved and underserved communities; and other areas identified to have high incidences of poverty; those persons belonging to vulnerable sectors; and communities in or recovering from situations of crisis or armed conflict and recognized as such by a government body.

The National Nutrition Council (NNC) shall prioritize local government units (LGUs) for their programs, projects, and activities (PPAs), which meet any of the following criteria:

a. With the highest prevalence of undernutrition (underweight, stunting, and wasting) and nutrient deficiency among pregnant women, lactating mothers, and 0-24-month-old children.

b. Availability of facilities or capability to implement the program.

c. Prioritizes such program in their locality and willingness to provide counterpart resources for its implementation.

The NNC Region X encourages the LGUs to plan and integrate the First 1000 Days (F1KD) of Life PPAs into their respective Local Nutrition Action Plans (LNAP), Local Development Plan (LDP), and Annual Investment Program (AIP). Further, LGUs must implement such health and nutrition PPAs targeting all pregnant women, lactating mothers, and 0-24-month-old children in the community.
