The Municipality of Daanbantayan has been recognized by the Department of Health as a top performing LGU with Institutionalized Disaster Risk Reduction Management in Health (DRRM-H) System in Central Visayas.
The award was received by Municipal Health Officer Dra. Merle Visda during the 2024 Health Systems Awards held at Bai Hotel Cebu on November 22.
An Institutionalized DRRM-H System is a resilient health system that can respond to emergencies and disasters, thereby reducing health risks and improving health services.
The institutionalization of a functional DRRM-H system of Daanbantayan was made possible through the Sangguniang Bayan, led by Vice Mayor Elver Ali Abucay, who passed Municipal Ordinance No. 05-2023 authored by SB Member Wendell V. Rosell.
