Sicat hall. 
Thirty (30) indigent women attended the event. A registered nurse (Ms. Stella) of Alfonso Rural Health Unit taught the women all of the different forms of contraceptives. During the seminar, some women who are on pills decided to undergo sub-dermal implant with the assistance of Ms. Stella. 
After the seminar RIMM gave 30 sacks of rice, canned goods, noodles, firewood, used clothing from Japan, bath soaps and hygiene kits. 
The 30 indigent women and Brgy. Sicat officials were very appreciative of the meaningful event.

]]> Subdermal Implant Support https://www.rotarymm.org/subdermal-implant-support/ Sat, 28 Apr 2018 01:59:14 +0000 https://www.rotarymm.org/?p=1571 On April 11, 2018 a Progestin Subdermal Implant (PSI) activity at no cost for women in Alfonso was spearheaded by Friendly Care Foundation (FC), Alfonso Municipal Health Center and our club. FC arrived from Manila to perform the implant. FC provided all of the necessary materials to conduct the implant. Dr. Manzo, chief of Alfonso municipal health center, had enlisted 100 women for the implant. The seminar room of Alfonso health center provided the venue of the implant. FC relayed general information about the implant and answered queries before pre-screening the assembled women.

RIMM gave P200 cash each to the 100 enlisted women to buy food. Pre-screening by FC excluded 15 women due to the following reasons: (1.) had engaged in sex 3 days prior to the pre-screening, (2.) positive test result of pregnancy, (3.) still in the middle of injectable contraception.

The majority of the women were grateful to avail of the implant. The insertion of the bendable match-stick like implant under the skin of the upper arm was painless and it allegedly prevents pregnancy for 3 years. Some young teen below 17 also received the implant.

PE Raymund manged to get 4 indigent women from Usting in Luksuhin to avail of the free implant and Honorary Member Carlito managed the crowd control of the event.
