                    [Title] => DOH conducting ‘injury surveillance’
                    [Summary] => The Department of Health (DOH) is conducting a nationwide "injury surveillance" to determine which health concerns involving children should be prioritized.


Dr. Consorcia Quizon, manager of the DOH’s Infectious Diseases Surveillance and Control Program, said the "injury surveillance" is the first of its kind in the country although it has been done in Vietnam and Bangladesh.

However, Dr. Consorcia Quizon, DOH spokesman, said the amount was well-spent since the government’s anti-SARS campaign was effective in controlling the spread of the disease in the country.

"That amount was used to contain SARS that infected 12 people until the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Philippines SARS-free in May," Quizon said.
