Data on comorbidities of deceased COVID-19 patients

Requested from DOH by M. Espiritu at 05:26 PM on Jun 17, 2021.
Purpose: Research
Date of Coverage: 06/01/2020 - 12/31/2020
Tracking no: #DOH-479981627363

Espiritu 05:26 PM, Jun 17, 2021 

Good day! I am an undergraduate student from De La Salle University-Dasmarinas currently working on our thesis about comorbidities among COVID-19 deaths in Asia. I am hoping to include data from our country but the information available from the DOH DataDrop does not include comorbidities. Is it possible to obtain such information? I do understand that there is the Data Privacy Act, but the data I need is deidentified.

Thank you in advance.
