InterAksyon.comThe online news portal of TV5
MANILA - The Department of Health (DOH) said on Monday that the donation of infant formula is not allowed at the evacuation centers in all areas affected by super typhoon Ruby.In a health bulletin, DOH acting Secretary Janette Garin said that the "no milk donation policy" is being implemented at the evacuation centers because "previous experience shows that cases of gastroenteritis were observed to have increased due to the use of donated milk formulas."Exclusive breastfeeding for infants up to six months of age is the standard protocol being applied by DOH, which is working with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and local health authorities to ensure that evacuation centers are mother- and baby-friendly.The DOH bulletin also indicated that all sick children at evacuation centers are to be transferred to government health facilities for treatment and monitoring.The DOH is now coordinating with local health authorities for free vaccination of evacuated children aged between six months and five years old against measles and polio, with the administering of free Vitamin A supplements.The public is also advised to boil water for drinking, and to continue boiling for at least two minutes from the time the water starts to boil."Practice proper hand washing before and after eating and before and after using the toilet," the DOH also urged.
