Davao City records 415 no-scalpel vasectomy acceptors as of October 2026
The City Health Office says the number of men choosing the procedure has risen steadily and has already passed the full-year 2025 total.
The number of men in Davao City choosing no-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) has reached a record high, according to the City Health Office (CHO).
The CHO's Population Division counted 415 NSV acceptors as of October 2026. That is 136 more than the 279 acceptors recorded for the whole of 2025, from January to December, the city government said.
The office described the increase as steady. The available report also notes that this year's figure is the highest in a longer period, but the excerpt does not say how far back that comparison goes.
The report does not give a breakdown by month or barangay. It also does not say what may be behind the increase.
Why it matters for Davao
The figures show more Davao City men are choosing a permanent family planning method offered through the City Health Office's population program.
