Dear Maria Cristina Ocay,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Aug 04, 2023 12:06:23 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your Request
You asked for Latest statistic cases of neurologic related disease.
Response to Request
Your FOI request is approved.
This is in response to your eFOI request (#DOH-104854315493) regarding the latest statistics on neurologic-related diseases. We hope to address your request as best as possible. Please refer to the Mental Health Program for an overview of the services we provide and some materials we readily share. Rest assured that the Mental Health Division looks into these conditions in compliance with RA11036, otherwise known as the Mental Health Act, which encompassess mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) disorders.
As for your request, the proposed Mental Health Information System (MHIS) covers the statistics of priority conditions as stipulated in the WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) namely: depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, suicide, epilepsy, dementia, disorders due to use of alcohol, disorders due to use of illicit drugs, and mental disorders in children. The MHIS (to be managed by the National Center for Mental Health) should integrate and consolidate mental health related data including cases on mental health conditions. Although this may also be through the improvement of the iClinicSys of the DOH Knowledge Management and Information Technology Service (KMITS). As stated, not all listed cases would have data in our surveys and we are yet to improve hospital data through the establishment of electronic medical records.
In the meantime, we would like to share with you the terminal report (attached) of the National Survey for Mental Health and Wellbeing (NSMHW) to give us a picture of the mental health status of the country as a whole while we wait for the consolidation of electronic medical records of patients and as we improve our information systems. Attached is also a study to give the general overview of the state of mental health services in the country.
Thank you
