The killer strength of super typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) that hit Region VIII on November 8, 2013, was not enough to extinguish the fiery spirit of “Waraynons,” a tag for people from Region VIII -  waray-waray being their native tongue or most commonly used dialect.

The whole world wept but the Waraynons’ fiery spirit impassioned them to stand and pick up the broken pieces left by the typhoon and start building their lives all over again.

A health information support system in a tablet has arrived in the islands of MIMAROPA (Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Palawan) to help local government officials make informed decisions about health-related concerns in their localities.

The ceremonial turn-over of the tablets dubbed as eHATID (eHealth TABLET for Informed Decision-making) was one of the highlights of the recent Science Nation Tour:Agham na Ramdam MIMAROPA leg, a roadshow of the Department of Science and Technology which coincided with the 51st Regional Development Council Meeting held in Bellaroca Island Resort, Marinduque.

The project, called eHATID LGU, is funded by the DOST’s Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) in partnership with Ateneo de Manila University. It aims to support LGUs with the use of an Electronic Medical Record mobile application that generates reports for the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation and Department of Health. Furthermore, the said tablet ensures a more efficient patient record system that will save time and effort for both health workers and patients.
