Dear Athena Razo,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Dec 14, 2023 03:52:32 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for The number of cases and mortality of UTI and CAUTI.

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. 

We are sending you the 2022 morbidity data on Urinary Tract Infections reported in the Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS). However, the mortality data is not yet available in the Philippine Health Statistics (PHS) and CAUTI morbidity is not available in the FHSIS. We suggest that the 2022 mortality data be requested from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), which is the primary source of registered deaths. 

In addition, the FHSIS data for the previous years are also available at the DOH website: https://www.doh.gov.ph/publications/serials.
