The City of Taguig, under the leadership of Mayor Lani Cayetano and the City Health Office, launched Safe Motherhood Week with a successful Buntis Congress held at Taguig City University on May 13. 


The event underscored the city's unwavering commitment to supporting expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy journey.


“Mapagmahal at mapagkalinga ang City of Taguig. Gusto namin na malusog kayo sa inyong pagbubuntis–sa delivery, maging sa recovery ninyo at inyong mga babies,” Mayor Lani Cayetano expressed, emphasizing the city's dedication to the health and well-being of mothers and their babies.


The congress saw the participation of around 500 pregnant women, including many first-time mothers, who gathered to receive essential information on safe motherhood. Healthcare professionals, including doctors and midwives, led discussions on various crucial topics.


The event also showcased the array of local services and programs designed to support mothers. These included local birth registration, deworming, post-partum psychosis, educational opportunities for young mothers, and family planning.
