PHThe Philippine Daily Inquirer reports on the launch of Phase 2 of a maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) project in Eastern Samar Province, Philippines. This initiative, led by the provincial government, the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), and World Vision Philippines, aims to improve healthcare services in three underserved municipalities—Jipapad, Maslog, and Giporlos. The project seeks to reduce maternal and infant mortality by enhancing prenatal, childbirth, and postnatal care, strengthening referral networks, upgrading health infrastructure, and increasing community awareness. The effort aligns with the national Universal Health Care program and follows the success of Phase 1, which ran from 2021. Officials highlighted the importance of sustained investment in healthcare for impoverished communities.
