BELLY GUD FOR HEALTH

vernutrition such as overweight and obesity is a serious health concern especially in the
light of its strong association with the development of non-communicable diseases which
are among the leading causes of mortality, morbidity and disability in the country today.
These NCDs include cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, renal
diseases, and degenerative arthritis, gout and gallbladder diseases. With the various
medical consequences associated with overnutrition, this weight problem contributes to
decreased productivity and economic growth retardation.

In the Department of Health Office, from a total of 779 personnel taken waist
circumference in 2012 prior to the conduct of Belly Gud for Health, 362 or 46.5% have
waist circumference above desirable levels. Waist circumference (WC) is a simple and easy
measure of central obesity among adults and a significant indicator of risk for non-
communicable diseases particularly heart disease and stroke.

The Micronutrient   Malnutrition Problem

2.   To discuss various types of  food fortification strategies

3.   To provide an update on the current   situation of food fortification in the   Philippines

Fortification as defined by Codex Alimentarius

“the addition of one or more essential nutrients to food, whether or not it is normally
contained in the food, for the purpose of preventing or correcting a demonstrated
deficiencyof one or more nutrients in the population or specific population groups”

Vitamin A, Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) and its Consequences

 ›Vitamin A - an essential nutrient as retinol needed by the body for normal
sight, growth, reproduction and immune competence
 ›Vitamin A deficiency - a condition characterized by depleted liver stores &
low blood levels of vitamin A due to prolonged insufficient dietary intake of
vit. A followed by poor absorption or utilization of vit. A in the body
 ›VAD affects children’s  proper  growth,   resistance    to  infection, and
chances of survival (23 to 35% increased child mortality), severe deficiency
results to blindness, night blindness and bitot’s spot

Prevalence of Vitamin A Deficiency:

1993, 1998, 2003, 2008

INTER LOCAL HEALTH ZONE

An ILHZ is defined to be any form or organized arrangement for coordinating the

operations of an array and hierarchy of health providers and facilities, which typically
includes primary health providers, core referral hospital and end-referral hospital, jointly
serving a common population within a local geographic area under the jurisdictions of
more than one local government.

ILHZ, as a form of inter-LGU cooperation is established in order to better protect the

public or collective health of their community, assure the constituents access to a range of
services necessary to meet health care needs of individuals, and to manage their limited
resources for health more efficiently and equitably.

For these to happen, existing ILHZs in the country must strengthen their operations and
sustain their functionality. Regardless of the organizational nature of each ILHZ, whether
these are formally organized, informally organized or DOH-initiated, the overall aim is to
make each ILHZ functional in order to perform its abovementioned purposes and tasks.

It must be recognized that a good inter-LGU coordination in health is one that secures
health benefits for the people living in LGUs that are coordinating with one another.   A
functional ILHZ therefore is to be viewed as one that provides health benefits to its
individual residents and to the zone population as a whole. The ILHZ functionality is
defined mainly by observable zone-wide health sector performance results in terms of:
