One of the principal objectives of Gawad Kalusugan is the strengthening of linkages with partners. And one
of the most important partner in any GK site is the local government unit. Last Feb 21, Dr Petty
Dio (National MMF) and other members of the Community Pediatric Society of the Philippines (CPSP) explained to
Cainta Municipal Health Officer Dr. Olga Abellanosa the Gawad Kalusugan Program. Dr. Abellanosa

Janssenville GKs. The enhanced immunization program will comemnce in March. Likewise, anti-TB drugs
from the health center will be made vailable for boith children and adult patients.
