Women’s health project to mark Benguet’s 101st year

-
Benguet will celebrate its 101st anniversary today (Nov. 23) by paying tribute to its main agricultural produce — the carrot — and its contribution to women’s health and safe motherhood.

Marking the celebration is the presentation of the king carrot cake, which is big enough to feed some 5,000 people. The cake will be presented by Agriculture Secretary Leonardo Montemayor, Tourism Undersecretary Oscar Palabyab and Vice Gov. Edna Tabanda, who also chairs the provincial committee on health and women.

Tabanda’s committee will also receive from the Department of Health a P30,000 program sponsorship for Benguet’s Women’s Health and Safe Motherhood Project (WHSMP).

A national project of the DoH through the country’s various local government units, the WHSMP is aimed at reducing the incidence of pregnancy-related deaths resulting from economic, geographic and nutritional problems.
