Taking on the Challenge: A Case Study on a Community Health Club for Noncommunicable Disease Control.

Background: From 2013 to 2021, the University of the Philippines Community Health and Development Program (UP CHDP) was in partnership with Cavite and its five municipalities of Alfonso, Mendez, Indang, General Emilio Aguinaldo, and Amadeo (AMIGA). They aimed to improve the control of hypertension and diabetes through interventions such as the organization of community health clubs, as recommended by the Department of Health in 2016. Currently there is limited information on the experiences and outcomes related to this strategy.
