Good evening #HealthXPH

Sorry I'm late. We just landed in Cebu, from a week-long Annual Convention of the Philippine Hospital Association at the Manila Hotel. I hope everyone had a great week!

Good evening #HealthXPH Helen here from Cebu, sorry I'm late. The rain caused problems - had difficulty getting a ride home from clinic.

How is everybody? @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social @endocrinewitch.bsky.social @bonedocph.bsky.social @docbuboy.bsky.social

Thanks for tonight's tweetchat @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social and thank you for the topic @bonedocph.bsky.social
Let's get enough sleep so that we can think straight and plan well. Have a great weekend! #healthXPH

Have you ever felt the need for this??? Especially for morning conferences when you are post-duty or after-lunch lectures in classes? #healthXPH that's what comes to mind when I think of sleep deprivation.
October 25, 2025 at 2:03 PM
When people complain of difficulty losing weight, getting enough sleep is the first thing you need to address. #healthXPH Sleep hygiene is self-care. Easier said than done, but at least start with accepting this fact.

Reforming residency training to ensure physical and mental health for patient safety, because we cannot give what we do not have. #healthXPH

So happy with the FOOD FOR HEALTH project support that our KAAMBAG Clinic received from the AIDS Healthcare Foundation! This is good news for food security for our patients! #HealthXPH

Good evening @stephaniemiaco.bsky.social

HELEN here from Cebu signing in for our #HealthXPH tweetchat. How is everyone? We still have earth-shaking moments here in Cebu, but without the destruction, just the anxiety.
October 18, 2025 at 1:08 PM
All for patient safety and integrity. Thank you mam Iris @endocrinewitch.bsky.social for this tweetchat. Have a great weekend! #HealthXPH

Thank you everyone for joining our discussion tonight on Blue Sky. Hope to see you again next Saturday!

Shout out to @kndr1k-bsky.bsky.social and @jrchbs.bsky.social welcome to #HealthXPH

That's an hour with #HealthXPH.

My closing thoughts would be that these "doktor para sa bayan" should be supported however we can, because they are the future public health servants who will lead our country and improve the system, take care of the patients when we no longer can. They are our hope!
September 27, 2025 at 2:06 PM
Graduates should have an assured slot for residency training in DOH hospitals in case that is their career path. #healthXPH because tertiary specialty hospitals are part of the healthcare provider network as well.
September 27, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Let us move on to T3. Aside from legislation (we have the Doktor para sa Bayan Act), what other kind of support do you think the "doktor para sa bayan" would need? #healthXPH
September 27, 2025 at 1:51 PM
Being under the influence of mam @endocrinewitch.bsky.social I realize the importance of health communication and public health information dissemination. #healthXPH lessons from the COVID19 pandemic also taught me that it is important to empower our patients with knowledge on disease prevention.
September 27, 2025 at 1:47 PM
Let's move to T2. How should these "doktor para sa bayan" be trained differently from other medical students? #HealthXPH

Where a lot of medical school graduates go abroad to practice, how do we train these doctors to serve the country?
September 27, 2025 at 1:39 PM
Hello Jericho! I am glad that you are here! Please feel free to share your thoughts. We are on T1 at the moment. Don't forget to type #HealthXPH with your message so that everyone can see it.
September 27, 2025 at 1:34 PM
Yes, I agree.

These are passionate and nationalistic doctors who hope to serve their communities, reaching geographically isolated areas in the country. #healthXPH

Each region should have a medical school offering medical scholarships for "doktor para sa bayan".
September 27, 2025 at 1:28 PM
let's start with T1. #HealthXPH

What attributes do you expect a "doktor para sa bayan" to have and how do they manifest these characteristics?
September 27, 2025 at 1:15 PM
We hope to increase the physician: population ratio with our "doktor para sa bayan" #healthXPH
September 27, 2025 at 1:13 PM
I thought about this topic because our CNU-VSMMC College of Medicine students are recipients of the "Doktor para sa Bayan" CHED scholarships. #HealthXPH I hope this is incentive enough for doctors to stay in the country and serve the people.

Good evening #HealthXPH

HELEN here from Cebu signing in for our Saturday tweetchat on "Doktor para sa Bayan" on the birthday of my niece. Happy birthday Majian!

Who's online?
September 27, 2025 at 1:00 PM
What is the "Doktor para sa Bayan" Act? #HealthXPH

The student financial assistance for the MSRS Program shall include the following: (a) Free tuition and other school fees;
(b) Allowance for prescribed books, supplies and equipment;
(c) Clothing or uniform allowance, and others.

HEALTHY isn't just a goal. It's a way of living. It's a lifestyle. It's a choice. #HealthXPH
