This training and orientation are intended to further enhance our medical frontliners' knowledge, skills, and readiness to tackle the pandemic. Participants in this training are also required to share with their respective departments and organizations, what they have learned.

Approximately 500 medical frontliners including Municipal Health Officers, hospital chiefs, other physicians, nurses, and health care workers from various District Hospitals, Rural Health Units, and Private Hospitals across Quezon Province attended the training. Besides, the training orientation also provided some workers with the tombs, so they would have the experience of treating the remains of those killed in Covid-19 properly.
