TACLOBAN CITY – The Tacloban Local Government Unit, its healthcare workers, and frontliners received two awards at the Department of Health's (DOH) Healthy Pilipinas Awards for Healthy Communities 2022.

Local government units (LGUs) were recognized for launching programs that promote healthy and safe communities throughout the country through a virtual awarding ceremony.

There are two LGU Tacloban programs that have received awards: "New Beginnings" under Priority Area 4: Substance Use, which addresses drug addiction problems in the city, and "Mobile Immunization," which provides small-scale vaccination services to people with special needs and those who live in remote areas under Priority Area 3: Immunization.
