Parkinson’s Disease in the Philippines Support Group (PDPSG)
It has been my ardent dream to put up a support group and eventually a foundation for those afflicted with Parkinson's disease(PD) here in the Philippines. Hence, I have envisioned setting up a blog to propagate my thoughts and plans. A few months back, I just did that but have been remiss in updating my posts. To motivate me and to start the ball rolling so to speak, I am launching this PDPSG as a shout out to all PD patients who want to be part of the drive to increase awareness among Filipinos regarding Parkinson's disease. Coach Freddie Roach, Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali are some of the popular international figures that we know who are afflicted with PD. Do we have Filipinos who are equally popular and affected with the same illness? Help me find out so we can also help those who are unable to cope with their PD's.
PDPSG MOTTO: BE PROUD! BE BRAVE! BE AN INDEPENDENT PD IN THE PHILIPPINES!
VISION STATEMENT: TO UPLIFT THE SPIRIT OF EVERY FILIPINO WITH PARKINSON’S DISEASE SO HE CAN STILL FUNCTION IN SOCIETY
MISSION STATEMENTS:
TO UPHOLD THE RIGHT OF EVERY PD PATIENT FOR A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
TO PROVIDE EMOTIONAL AND MORAL SUPPORT TO EACH PD PATIENT AND THEIR FAMILIES/CARE GIVERS
TO PROMOTE INDEPENDENCE IN EVERY PD PATIENT
TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN EACH PD PATIENT SO HE CAN BE A PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY
TO SLOW DOWN THE PROGRESSION OF PD MANIFESTATIONS THROUGH EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND INTERVENTION
TO HELP LOWER THE COSTS OF TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF PD CASES THROUGH LOWERING THE COSTS OF MEDICINES AND REHABILITATION
TO OPEN AVENUES FOR RESEARCH/STUDIES TO IMPROVE AND FIND BETTER TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR PD PATIENTS IN THE PHILIPPINES
Hello po Tita Doc, may itatanong lang po. (We're already desperate)
ReplyDeleteDo you know of any institutions here in the Phil that admit Parkinson's Disease patients? We are nursing students from FEU, Manila. We are planning to conduct a quasi-experimental research study in which we are to implement a therapy to the subjects (around 12-30 PD patients). The study is under the field of rehabilitation nursing.
Hello, lynlyn.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late reply. Unfortunately, I don't know of any institution here in the Philippines that admit Parkinson's disease patients en masse. For one, even a big government hospital like UP-PGH, rarely admits PD patients unless there are complications. They are usually seen in the OPD so I suggest you go to the Department of Neurosciences or Movement Disorder Sections and/or Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of St. Luke's Hospital or Makati Medical Center.
God bless.
