AYNLA Fiscal Year 2010-2011 The Alliance of Young Nurse Leaders and Advocates International Inc. (AYNLA) was officially registered in July 2010 in the Securities & Exchange Commission in Manila, Philippines. AYNLA is a registered non-stock, non-profit, nursing organization that advocates universal access to healthcare, health as a human right and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

AYNLA became a forefront organization for young nurses & other health professionals that forge health as a basic human right but maintaining its dynamic and cool character thus earning its trust among many nurses.

AYNLA’s vision is to become the forefront international professional organization for young leaders in nursing and healthcare advocating the achievement of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals through holistic nursing leadership & advance practice, health advocacy, youth empowerment and nation-

building. With this, members & officers are focused to help make our society a better place to live by providing health education, information, research, and services. The organization is also rapidly growing in the Philippines and also in other countries such as in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and in Ghana. AYNLA Philippines have around 30 recognized local chapters & core groups. AYNLA is also very much present in the social media through social networking sites and its own official website. Online members can get immediate access to AYNLA’s updates and postings. AYNLA promoted health issues using Facebook, Twitter, blogging and podcast.

Recently, AYNLA took an active role in helping the current crisis on unemployment & alleged exploitation of nurses in the House of Representatives and Senate. Because of this AYNLA espoused to protecting the rights of nurses. This later became an integral part of AYNLA’s mission to serve the nursing profession and its members.

Government Partnership – AYNLA has established linkages & forged partnerships with different Philippine government agencies especially with the Department of Health National Center for Health Promotion and the Health Human Resource Development Bureau. AYNLA assisted these offices of the Department of Health in delivering health services during the Lakbay Buhay Kalusugan health caravan, and also in providing essential information being part of the Ad Hoc Committee for the alleged exploitation of nurses through illegitimate training/volunteer programs. AYNLA also became a member of the National Anti-Poverty Commission Youth & Students Sector. Chosen from more than 200 organizations, only about 80 were chosen nationwide. As a member of the sector, AYNLA is privileged to be in the Sectoral Assembly that choses the members of the Sectoral Council, which then drafts the Sectoral Agenda of the Students & Youth to be submitted to NAPC and approved by the President of the Philippines. AYNLA’s representative, President Alvin Dakis was elected by the Assembly to be one of the Council members. As member of the council, AYNLA

lobbied for the youth to have equal access to healthcare without bias & discrimination and supported for the initiative to support the following measures: Reproductive Health Bill, Anti-Discrimination Bill, amendments to the Philippine AIDS Law, Students Rights & Welfare Bill, Sangguniang Kabataan Reform Bill and the Local Youth Development Council Bill.

When AYNLA gathered its members to have nationally coordinated events commemorating the World AIDS Day, AYNLA also became active in the HIV awareness advocacy. Knowing that many nurses are not sensitized and trained to handle clients undergoing HIV testing, counseling & treatment, AYNLA started among its members, to expose them to the HIV Advocacy. This lead AYNLA to partner with other locally initiated HIV groups and national advocacy organizations. AYNLA also joined the

14


different initiatives set by the Philippine National AIDS Council and started to help the national advocacy by encouraging more nurse members join the advocacy. AYNLA also became a member of the National Youth Commission – Youth Organization Registration Program (YORP) in 2010. By becoming a member of YORP, AYNLA becomes a registered youth organization recognized by the Commission and is able to network with different youth organizations that tackle issues of young people in the country. Becoming a YORP member also pave the way for AYNLA to join the 2011 Outstanding Youth Organizations Awards. Civil Society Partnership – Since AYNLA’s inception, it has been working closely with many civil society organizations including women, youth, and professional organizations. AYNLA partnered with different organizations both in our local chapters and in the national level. AYNLA is a member of the Reproductive Health Advocacy Network which is the national network of advocates working on for the passage of a national legislation providing reproductive & sexual health in the country. One notable localized membership in a coalition called Oriental Negros Children Advocacy Network. This is an example of how AYNLA Local Chapters network with other organizations to advance its vision and mission. International Partnership – AYNLA is a member of the World Health Organization-Global Health Workforce Alliance, Global Youth Action Network and the Global Youth Coalition on HIV & AIDS. All of these memberships enabled the Alliance to network with the leaders working on global health issues & advocacy including HIV & AIDS, nursing & global health, health human resource and young people’s initiatives & developments. Also, AYNLA has been working with the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health, an international group of nurse advocates for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and to have global access to healthcare by all people. AYNLA collaborated with NIGH in celebrating the 2010 International Year of the Nurse which was also lobbied in the United Nations for its international recognition to the efforts of nurses to bring about global health. AYNLA also became a leading organization that NIGH collaborates especially NIGH’s presence in the country. AYNLA was part of the 6th Country Program of the United Nations Populations Fund-Philippines and helped UNFPA in achieving its goals in population & development. This year AYNLA leads the Youth Consortium of the 7th Country Program of UNFPA for 2012-2016.

CHAPTER DEVELOPMENT AYNLA has rapidly expanded in barely 2 years of legal operations. AYNLA first known chapter was in Cebu but it was in Manila when its chapters are organized under its legal registration. AYNLA is now present in three main islands of the Philippines and also has international coordinators in the US, UK and Ghana. AYNLA operates in the National Capital Region through its identified zones while works in the regions through its regional councils. The most basic form of governance in the Alliance is the Local Chapter headed by a Chapter Mayor. The Regional Council is headed by a Zonal/Regional Governor and International Coordinators heads the international clusters. AYNLA has a membership base of around 12,000 online through its website and its social networking sites, however, its registered, paid members are around 2,000 nationwide and is still growing rapidly. Local chapters also manage their own webpages & social network sites.

IMPLEMENTED PROJECTS

The Alliance has implemented quite a number of notable advocacy projects & programs despite of the fact that it only has very meager fund coming from membership fees & some sponsors.

C. Data Gathering – Occasionally, AYNLA conducts Focus-Group Discussions (FGDs) and online surveys to solicit data and or responses from its members on certain issues.

a. Profiling – this is done through the AYNLA website where an online member will have to input several information about him/her profiling his/her membership to the Alliance. In this way, the Alliance will know how many of its members are under the category of students, registered nurses or advocates. Small-scale profiling is also done through the Local Chapters

b. Online Surveys – from time-to-time AYNLA would solicit responses from its members through online surveys and forms being submitted directly to their e-mail addresses. In this way, the Alliance gets the direct pulse from its members.

28


COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT & HUMANITARIAN OPERATIONS

A. Kalingang Bayan (Nurses’ Mission) – Kalingang Bayan or KB is the community development program of AYNLA and is widely implemented in all its local chapters. KB was formerly known as “Nursing Missions” as it is organized and managed by nurses. It differs from “Medical Missions” because it is focused in health promotion & education while the latter is commonly known to implement curative services like giving of medicines. In 2011, AYNLA’s Kalingang Bayan became widely known after it won as an Area Finalist and became a National Finalist of the Ten Accomplished Youth Organizations of the National Youth Commission. Kalingang Bayan piloted its program in the following areas:

1. Manila 2. Pasay 3. Las Pinas 4. Taguig 5. Iloilo 6. Negros Oriental 7. Pampanga 8. Nueva Ecija

Each Kalingang Bayan is slightly different from the other since it needs to address the identified health concerns of the specific communities the Local Chapter has adopted. Some of the services being done and has been implemented in KB Missions are:

1. Nursing consultations 2. Vital Signs monitoring 3. Blood sugar monitoring 4. Health education to children 5. Health education to teens 6. Health education to parents/adults 7. Distribution of medicines 8. Assistance to dental services 9. Reproductive & sexual health education/consultation 10. Mental health consultation 11. Basic nutrition services to children 12. Basic disaster training

B. Lakbay Buhay Kalusugan – a joint project with the Department of Health, Probe

Media Foundation and USAID along with other project partners in line with the Health Agenda of the Aquino Administration in providing Filipinos access to quality health care. LBK as commonly known is a mobile health caravan (a bus sponsored by Victory Liner) with consultation & examination clinics with focus on

31


maternal & child care and a health promotion arena with a festive mood where AYNLA nurses teach about basic hygienic practices to children, promotion of healthy lifestyle and healthy parenting to parents.

ADVOCACY SUPPORT & POLITICAL AFFAIRS

Health Policy Reform – AYNLA is an active partner in health policy reform initiatives by the government and with civil society organizations. AYNLA after its legal registration under the Securities & Exchange Commission & Professional Regulation Commission joined the National Youth Commission’s Youth Organization Registration Program as the first young professional nursing organization to be registered under this program. When AYNLA joined NYC it gave young nurses the chance to participate in youth policy reform focusing on health issues. AYNLA became a potent partner of the Department of Health, during the height of the issue on nurses’ exploitation & unemployment. AYNLA sat as one of the members of the DOH Ad Hoc Committee on Nursing Issues. The Ad Hoc Committee helped in finding data necessary for the Department clear the issues & to release public statements and or Administrative Orders. AYNLA was the nursing organization that filed the necessary documents sought by the Department of Health from the nurses who complained about the alleged exploitation. AYNLA stood boldly in the media, the hospital administrators and legislators to protect the best interests of its members and all nurses who are exploited. AYNLA is so far the only nursing organization in the country that has a national manifesto of support to the controversial Reproductive Health Bill and joins actively in its activities to call for its passage. Later, AYNLA became part of the National Sectoral Assembly of Youth & Students of the National Anti-Poverty Commission and was elected to be one of the Council Members. Local & National Government Partnerships – AYNLA works with different local, provincial and national government agencies and units. Part of AYNLA’s mandate is to work with these agencies to make every health programs sustainable.

December 2011 when there were a lot of budget constraints in maintaining talents.

C. Social Media Campaign – AYNLA has launched two successful major online campaigns, one which became known among nurses and pivoted AYNLA as an essential partner in health reform agenda:

Nurses’ Black Out Campaign – The first successful online campaign launched in January 1-11, 2011 with the aim of raising the alarm & informing the Philippine Government and the public about the abuses done to Filipino nurses and the plight of every nurses suffering from high unemployment & underemployment. The Black Out Campaign was released in Facebook and encouraged FB users to change their default pictures to pitch black in protest. Each user posted a message why they are blackening out their profiles. After the 11-day campaign, the Senate Committee on Health & Demography spearheaded by Senator Pia Cayetano made the first Senate inquiry on the plight of Filipino nurses in the country. And the issue was brought to the open. Every Nurse Counts Campaign – the successor of the Nurses’ Black Out Campaign. However, Every Nurse Counts Campaign was made to sustain the public’s awareness of the plight of Filipino nurses through social networking sites and the AYNLA website.

We Love Nurses Campaign – is a special campaign done for the International Nurses’ Day in 2011. Different celebrities and personalities joined by posing their photos with a signage “We Love Nurses. Happy Nurses’ Day”. Some of them greeted nurses through Twitter. Some notable personalities who participated in the campaign shoot were:

Head Coordinator: Kenneth Calvin Reyes (former chair & from Manila Doctors College)
