Hi! I would like to request a report on the soil-transmitted helminthiasis cases in the Philippines broken down by province. A similar document, the RITM Prevalence Survey 2015, was posted in August of 2019 but I was hoping an updated version (as of 2023) could be provided.
Additionally, I would also like to request information regarding the use of latrines and open defecation rates around the country, as well as a list of schools or barangays that are currently enrolled in the government deworming program.
Thank you!
