Prevalence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in the Philippines

Requested from DOH by K. De Rojo at 06:54 PM on Sep 27, 2019.
Purpose: For Masteral Thesis Writing
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2018 - 12/31/2018
Tracking no: #DOH-083453824050

De Rojo 06:54 PM, Sep 27, 2019 

Good day! If a 5 year data is not possible, I would like to request even the prevalence of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) cases in the Philippines for 2018 only or any year possible. This is because I need to compare the data in the Philippines and abroad. If prevalence is not possible, the percentage of women diagnosed with PCOS can be helpful or any data regarding PCOS that you can give me.

I hope to hear a favourable response regarding my inquiry. Thank you and God bless.

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 and the DOH Epidemiology Bureau does not collect data related to PCOS. We already received several data requests on PCOS before through the eFOI portal and we do not have statistics on the topic. 

However, you may wish to contact the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (POGS) at telephone number (02)  9217557 or visit their website at https://www.pogsinc.org.

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