Dear Alyssa Curato,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Sep 30, 2023 03:45:02 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for Details on Mental Health Facility.

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. 

Visit the DOH Health Facilities and Services Regulatory Bureau (HFSRB) website at https://hfsrb.doh.gov.ph/licensing-accreditation-of-health-facilities-and-services/ and the DOH Permit to Construct (PTC) for the Psychiatric Care Facility

The DOH accredited Psychiatric Care Facility is posted in the HFSRB website at https://hfsrb.doh.gov.ph/list-of-licensed-health-facilities/

Please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you have requested for as we do not have the Psychiatric Facilities in Davao with their type of function/ services offered

The Mental Health Division has yet to establish the Mental Health Information System that integrates and consolidates mental health related data including cases on mental health conditions.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide you with the up-to-date statistics as we are yet to establish a mental health information system (MHIS) but we are also pleased to share with you the attached National Survey for Mental Health and Well-being

We would like to share with you the attached latest Mental Health Atlas 2020 as reference. This is our country profile at https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/mental-health-atlas-2017-country-profile-philippines

The WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) at https://www.who.int/teams/mental-health-and-substance-use/treatment-care/mental-health-gap-action-programme, which focuses on services for mental, neurological and substance use disorders specifically in the 9 priority conditions: depression, psychosis, epilepsy/seizures, developmental disorders, behavioral disorders, dementia, alcohol use, drug use and self-harm.
