Guided by the Department of Health’s commitment to reducing maternal and neonatal deaths, Culion Sanitarium and General Hospital (CSGH) continues to strengthen the skills of healthcare workers through its Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC) Training Program.

The dedicated CSGH BEmONC Team, led by Dr. Jorge R. De Castro Jr., together with his members, Dr. Chona Marie R. Muldong, Dr. Ma. Theda Gloria A. Genodia, Dr. Candace Ruth B. De Guzman, Ms. Jennifer C. Aying, Ms. Judy Ann A. Fernandez, Mr. Lenardz O. Cruz, Ms. Kenly Ann Asuncion B. Poblete, and Ms. Cathleen Joyce T. Tabang, with assistance and support from Dr. Maria Regina Calimag thru Ms. Francis Regis Villarico – Hospital Training Officer, and Ms. Joy T. Jimenez – Nursing Training Officer, continues to share their knowledge, skills, and experience to equip healthcare workers in Palawan with the competencies needed to respond effectively to obstetric and newborn emergencies. Beyond the training sessions, the team remains committed to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes across the region.

Since welcoming its first batch of trainees in September 2025, the CSGH BEmONC Team has successfully conducted four batches of training, with the most recent held on October 5–10, 2026. A total of thirty-two (32) participants coming from Coron District Hospital, Northern Palawan Provincial Hospital, and the Municipal Health Offices/Rural Health Units of Linapacan, Coron, Roxas, Cagayancillo, Culion, Cuyo, Agutaya, Magsaysay, and Taytay successfully completed the training. They are expected to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their respective healthcare facilities and communities to help improve the delivery of emergency obstetric and newborn care services.

CSGH Management proudly congratulates the BEmONC Team on their hard work, dedication, and continued commitment to improving maternal and child health across the region. Management also extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Center for Health Development MIMAROPA (CHD MIMAROPA) and the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau (DPCB) for their continued support and funding, which make these vital capacity-building initiatives possible.

Through sustained partnerships, continuous learning, and strengthened healthcare workforce competencies, we move closer to a future where every mother can give birth safely and every newborn has a healthier beginning. Because every mother deserves safe childbirth, and every newborn deserves the best possible start in life. ... See MoreSee Less
