Village A, however, encountered many problems and there was a poor response to the program. In
Village B participants reported not only that the visits made residents more aware of dengue control, but they were more inclined to take action. Although behaviour change results have not yet been reported, it appears the difference is that the BHWs in Village B were more active and more trusted by the community.

stations struggle with lack of medicines supplies, long wait times, declines in quality of facility infrastructure, and lack of proper training and staffing. The rural poor are the most susceptible to poor sanitation, malnutrition, and lack of hygiene efforts. These communities that depend heavily on barangay health services are affected by political, social, and economic decisions made by local authorities .

Despite the efforts of barangay health volunteers, they are constrained within the political leadership of local government units. There is a perception that barangay health stations provide low-quality health services and have low-client satisfaction. With funding limitations, barangay health

In both village ‘A’ and ‘B’, BHWs were trained to teach households to inspect water containers for immature mosquitoes. An instructional guide was provided along with a container management checklist, collected during monthly visits. The team also provided a video of dengue control techniques.

On average, each
Volunteer is expected to work with around 20 families in their community. However the scarcity of trained individuals has narrowed down the number of volunteers, especially in some remote areas, where now one or two volunteers service an entire barangay.
