True to its commitment to uplift the lives and health of its constituents, the City Government of Tagbilaran through the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) joins the Philippine Dental Association (PDA) – Bohol Chapter in providing oral health services. The 15th Sangguniang Panlungsod passed and approved Resolution No. 24-58, sponsored by Hon. Gemma M. Inting, which authorizes City Mayor Jane Yap to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with the CSWDO and PDA-Bohol Chapter in the implementation of the Sana Bawat Bata May Dentista Project.
The PDA-Bohol Chapter is a local constituent chapter of the Philippine Dental Association which is spearheading the implementation of the “Sana Bawat Bata May Dentista.” This project aims to promote health dental habits and provide accessible dental services to children.
The beneficiaries of this project will be 3-4-year old children who are usually enrolled in day care centers, hence the PDA-Bohol is seeking the assistance of the CSWD in the information dissemination and awareness campaign regarding the program, the direct supervision of the beneficiary/pupils and the record keeping of the dental records.
