immunization of other populations (senior
citizens, school-age children, and
adolescents)

 National Tuberculosis Control
Program
❖ The overarching strategy of the NTP is the DOTS or directly
observed treatment short course that was started in the
country in 1996.
❖ It has five basic elements:
(a) availability of quality assured sputum microscopy
(b) uninterrupted supply of anti-TB drugs
(c) supervised treatment
(d) patient and program monitoring
(e) political will
 Food and Waterborne Diseases
Prevention and Control Program

❖ Food and Waterborne Diseases (FWBD) are

usually infectious or toxic in nature and caused
by bacteria, viruses, parasites or chemical
substances entering the body through
contaminated food or water.
❖ FWBD pathogens can cause severe diarrhea or
debilitating infections and even death.
 Food and Waterborne Diseases
Prevention and Control Program
❖ Vision: A food and waterborne disease free Philippines
❖ Mission: To reduce the burden of FWBDs and outbreaks
through evidence-based program management, behavior
change, policy support, standards, and guidelines
development, efficient and well-trained program management
and staff and resource mobilization initiatives
❖ Goal: Reduced morbidity and mortality due to FWBDs
including outbreaks
 Emerging and Re-emerging
Infectious Diseases Program (EREID)
❖ Emerging infections is defined as newly diagnosed or
previously unknown infections. This may include new or
drug-resistant infections whose incidence in humans has
increased within the past two decades or whose incidence
threatens to increase in the near future.
❖ Re-emerging infections are defined as secondary to the
reappearance of a previously eliminated infection or an
unexpected increase in the number of a previously known
infectious disease.
Emerging and Re-emerging
Infectious Diseases Program (EREID)

❖ SARS
❖ Meningococcemia

emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.
❖ Mission: Provide and strengthen an integrated, responsive, and
collaborative health system on emerging and reemerging
infectious diseases towards a healthy and bio-secure country.
❖ Overall Goal: Prevention and control of emerging and re-emerging
infectious disease from becoming public health problems, as
indicated by EREID case fatality rate of less than one percent.
 National Rabies Prevention and
Control Program
❖ Rabies remains to be a public health problem in the Philippines. It is
the most acutely fatal infectious disease responsible for the death of
200-250 Filipinos every year.
❖ At least one-third of human rabies deaths are among children less
than 15 years of age. Two thirds of human rabies cases are males.
❖ Dogs are the sources of the vast majority of human rabies deaths.
❖ The high cost of anti-rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin,
expenditure for medical consultations and the loss of income are an
additional burden to a regular Filipino family confronted with a
potential rabies exposure.
National Rabies Prevention and
Control Program
❖ Vision: Rabies Free Philippines by 2030
❖ Goal: The goal of the program is to eliminate rabies in the
Philippines and declare a Rabies-free Philippines by year 2030.

decision-making relative to the management and
implementation of public health programs
throughout the country.
 Health Promotion and Education

❖ Health Promotion is a process of enabling
