THE DEPARTMENT of Health (DOH) debunked reports of an “international health concern,” stating that the World Health Organization (WHO) has not confirmed such an epidemic.
According to Dr. Albert Domingo, the OIC assistant secretary and spokesperson of the DOH, said the Philippines is an active participant in the network of WHO Member States that follow the International Health Regulations (IHR).
The established system provides reliable updates about international health concerns. Philippine disease surveillance systems are in place and working.
“The DOH is actively verifying all information and will keep the public updated. Please do not share questionable websites or online sources. Let us not spread misinformation and confusion,” he said.
