“Recently, nakita natin ang pagtaas sa bilang ng mga kaso ng ilang communicable diseases, such as pertussis and measles. Bagama’t wala namang surge sa mga hospital admissions on a national level, we have seen some uptick in the number of cases prompting some LGUs to declare pertussis outbreak,” Go said.
In addition to pertussis, DOH also revealed more than 2,600 cases of measles since September last year, with half of this number being from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Also known as the National Disease Prevention Management Authority, the CDC, as experts in the field of infectious diseases, will be at the forefront of the health battle against any future health crisis.
The bill also establishes four sub centers that will carry out the functions of the CDC, namely, Center for Health Statistics, Center for Surveillance and Epidemiology, Center for Health Evidence, and Center for Reference Laboratories.
