Message from the Secretary

Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for the encouraging comments we have received regarding the television and radio commercials. The radio commercials will be aired again in September and we will be sending you the schedule later this month.

As part of the Skin Safety Campaign (SSC), a 4-panel colored brochure on basic information on the skin, hair and nails was prepared by the SSC Task Force. This was made possible through an educational grant from Unilever Philippines. The brochures were distributed to one (1) million public high school students as part of information dissemination. One hundred (100) free copies for each member in good standing are available for pick up at the PDS office. The bundled brochures are heavy and the mailing cost is prohibitive. We will be bringing some of the brochures to the August 26 CME meeting in Wack Wack Golf and Country Club. You can pick up your copies on a “first come, first serve” basis.

Available for pick up and at cost for members in good standing are more copies of the SSC door decal (P20 each) for your clinics and the SSC patient information leaflets (P100 for 100 pcs). One door decal and a bundle of the leaflets were given out free during the PDS Annual Convention last year.

Please send your requests by email (pds_org@pldtdsl.net or pds_org@yahoo.com) or call the PDS office. Only check payments will be accepted.

For our colleagues who are based in the provinces, we will bring the brochures to the Annual Convention in November.

Please email us your feedback, suggestions or concerns.

Truly yours,
Rosalina E. Nadela, MD, FPDS
Secretary
