00:06.295 --> 00:08.072
Philippines . We are in the San

00:08.072 --> 00:10.072
Fernando region of La Union . We're

00:10.072 --> 00:12.649

00:12.659 --> 00:14.880
the North Health School . We are

00:14.890 --> 00:16.834

00:16.834 --> 00:18.834

00:18.834 --> 00:21.194
care , and the population here to do

00:21.204 --> 00:23.260
health care services that the normal

00:23.260 --> 00:25.145
community already is doing and

00:25.155 --> 00:27.284
providing an extension . We're also

00:27.344 --> 00:29.511
doing an amazing educational symposium

00:29.511 --> 00:31.622

00:33.677 --> 00:35.844
area and has difficult access to other

00:35.844 --> 00:37.788
health care needs . So we're doing

00:37.788 --> 00:40.764
training on , on non disease like

00:43.090 --> 00:45.257
heart disease , mental health . That's

00:45.257 --> 00:47.368
a large thing that we're doing here .

00:47.368 --> 00:49.479
And we're also talking about disaster

00:49.479 --> 00:51.312
response and how to respond as a

00:51.312 --> 00:53.479
community and the disaster . So all of
