Sentrong Sigla presentation ceremony |
The Sentrong Sigla (Filipino for "Center of Vitality") Movement in the Philippines started in December 1999 to enable local government units (LGUs) to provide high quality services within a devolved health care system. Sentrong Sigla publicly recognizes and certifies government health facilities that meet national quality standards. The Sentrong Sigla program fosters collaboration between the Philippines Department of Health (DOH) and the LGUs by effectively enabling the DOH to set quality standards and policies and allowing local government units become more decentralized. To date, over a thousand centers have been certified.
JHU/PCS supports the DOH with technical assistance in implementing the overall Sentrong Sigla Movement, through strategic communication campaign planning; production and evaluation, analysis of improving the quality of IPC/C and other related support to promote goals of DOH's family planning program.
