 The activity, conducted in two batches, was attended by all members of the BHERTs in the province. The session was divided into two episodes: "Engaging BHERTs for a Safer Community" and "BHERTS in Action: Safeguarding the Community" that highlighted functions of BHERTs, the National Vaccination Program, and the Contact Tracing Program as discussed by representatives from the Provincial Health Office.
