DOH warns public on unidentified individuals
performing health services
BUTUAN CITY, April 27 (PIA) – The health
department of Caraga region issued an advisory to the public giving warning to
be cautious on personalities claiming to be from the Department of Health
(DOH).
DOH Caraga regional director Miverva Molon said
that there are unidentified individuals claiming to be from or affiliated with
their agency who are visiting houses and convincing households to allow them to
check their blood pressure and conduct consultation.
Molon also said that these individuals will then
persuade members of the household to purchase food supplements and medicines
that they are selling, allegedly at a very low cost after performing the above
procedures.
“I would like to inform the public that there is
no such program being implemented by the agency, neither are these people
licenses to sell drugs,” Molon said.
In addition, the sources of these drugs are
unknown, posing doubts on their safety, quality and purity, Molon added.
Molon, therefore urges and advises the public
not to entertain such personalities and instead, report such incidents
immediately to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at the DOH Caraga
regional office, Pizarro St., corner Narra Road, Butuan City or call 341-1595. (NCLM/PIA-Caraga)
