The Davao City Health Office, through its Population Division, is again urging Dabawenyos who no longer wish to have more children to avail of its free No-Scalpel Vasectomy (NSV) service.
NSV is one of the permanent family planning methods that the Population Division offers to Dabawenyos.
Every last Friday of the month, the Population Division schedules a free vasectomy service at the Buhangin Vasectomy Center.
For the month of June, free NSV is scheduled on June 27.
NSV is a non-invasive procedure which lasts for 10–15 minutes, and requires minimal aftercare.
This family planning method also poses lesser risks compared to Bilateral-Tubal Ligation (BTL), and has a 99.85 percent effectiveness rate.
There are also temporary family planning methods offered by the CHO to the public. These are available at their district health centers. Dabawenyos only has to approach personnels from the CHO’s population division to further discuss the details on these family planning methods.
Dabawenyos may also contact the City Population Office through their Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/CityPopulationOfficeOfDavao); or email them at citypopulationofficeofdavao@gmail.com; or visit their main office located in Camus St., Davao City.
Interested Dabawenyos who wish to avail of the free NSV service may also call or text the City Population Office at 09952024680 for more information. CIO
