Your request

You asked for The Number of Cases of Dementia in the Philippines per Region.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have [some of]* the information you have requested. The National Mental Health Program currently does not have ANY OFFICIAL data on mental health disorders in our country in all its aspects. The program is currently developing a registry and information system to gather these information. We hope they can await as the department, more specifically, the program strives to address their concerns and strengthen mental health in our country. 

We are only able to provide the list of Accredited Psychiatric Facilities in the Philippines. For further reference, please visit the link below: 

https://hfsrb.doh.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Psych-Fac-2016_researcherProt.pdf

 We can also provide you the regional level data on Alzheimer's Disease Mortality Rate for 2016. You may view this in the Philippine Health Statistics Annual Report at https://www.doh.gov.ph/sites/default/files/publications/2016_PHILIPPINE-HEALTH-STATISTICS.pdf

Finally, we may also try to visit the Philippines' country profile in the Mental Health Atlas 2017 posted at the World Health Organization website: https://www.who.int/mental_health/evidence/atlas/profiles-2017/PHL.pdf?ua=1
