Dear Adrianne Tobias,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 22, 2022 04:14:41 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for TB Mortality, by Region (2020, 2021).

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have  the information you have requested. 

The DOH Disease Prevention and Control Bureau (DPCB) monitors the tuberculosis cascade of care through the Integrated Tuberculosis Information System (IT IS). However, ITIS data on mortality is limited to those who have died (for any reason) during the course of treatment. Data on deaths due to tuberculosis may be obtained from the deaths registered through the Philippine Statistics Authority.

Thank you

For any clarifications or inquiries regarding this matter, you may contact DPCB Adult Health Division through dpcbidd@doh.gov.ph or through local 2354. 

For further assistance you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: https://www.foi.gov.ph/help.

We will complete the review and tell you the result within 30 calendar days from the date when we receive your review request.
