Foreword
Diseases are perennial concerns in our country. They have been the causes ofpremature deaths and illnesses. Being a developing country with a tropical environmentand alternating weather conditions, the Philippines is constantly seeing the occurrenceof many diseases.For this reason, the Department of Health (DOH) has identified variousdiseases in its effort to prevent its spread and improve the health condition of thepeople. This situation spawned a need for information about these diseases. As aresponse, the Department of Health produced one-page advisories in language easilyunderstood.This compilation of health advisories were put together for easier referencefor those who want precise information. These were crafted in a way that evenindividuals with non-medical background can easily read and understand. Theadvisories have been grouped according to the nature of the disease or healthcondition.The Department of Health is grateful to the World Health Organization andother DOH offices for assisting in the development of this project. We thank them fortheir unwavering support.
Mabuhay kayong lahat!
Francisco T. Duque III, M.D., MSc.
