On August 23, 2012, HAPI-C had its 1
st-ever
Public Dissemination on Hemophilia to Cebu City Government Health Workers at
the Cebu City Health Department auditorium.
This first of a series of
Public Disseminations by HAPI-C is an Overview on Hemophilia. The lecturer is
Dr. Lynda Mae Lepatan, M.D., a hematologist with specialized training for
hemophilia under the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH). For this event, the
audience consisted of over 120 government nurses and midwives. As an Overview, the lecture was about general
information on hemophilia such as its genetics, symptoms, and treatment.
Pre-lecture evaluation sheets
were distributed to check if there have been cases that the audience may have
previously handled patients with hemophilia or related bleeding disorders.
Post-lecture evaluation sheets were also given to rate the lecture and HAPI-C’s
event as a whole. HAPI-C volunteers also gave
away their “What is Hemohpilia?” pamphlets both in English and vernacular
Cebuano versions to the Cebu government nurses and midwives at the end of the
dissemination.
HAPI-C is grateful to the
PLDT-Smart Foundation for the media coverage provided during the interview. The
event was featured at
Cebu Daily News,
Sunstar, and
Freeman newspapers. Video
coverage was aired at RCTV.
