Component V: Embalming and After Death Services
In 2005, the Provincial Health Office conducted a training for Rural Sanitary Inspectors and Registered Embalmers on Republic Act 8504 (The Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998) and Universal Precautionary Measures for infectious diseases, including those who died of HIV/AIDS. In addition, referral systems were established between funeral homes and health centers to facilitate speedier case tracking.
After-death support also includes counseling of the affected families by members of the PLHAS (People Living with HIV/AIDS) group providing consolation to affected families. It also includes community education in the communities to minimize stigma and discrimination to the family.
