Transcript

00:00 because this month of August, it is called National Lung Month.

00:04 Let's watch the campaign that the Department of Health and Lung Cancer of the Philippines is doing

00:09 to give awareness to the public. Let's watch this.

00:13 Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the country

00:20 and lung cancer is the first on the list of cancers that are deadly here in the Philippines.

00:27 The one-fourth of Filipinos over the age of 15 who are suffering from liver cancer

00:31 have a high chance of developing lung cancer.

00:35 That's why this National Lung Cancer Month is a wide and more progressive campaign

00:42 that the Department of Health and Lung Cancer of the Philippines is doing.

00:48 This is Healthy Pilipinas.

00:50 Let's consult.

00:52 And we in the Lung Center are quite aware of the TB remains after all these years,

01:01 a major health problem for Filipinos.

01:04 The Philippines is currently fourth in the total number of cases contributed in the world.

01:10 As we know, there is no room for complacency in the Philippines.

01:14 It remains among the high burden countries for TB and HIV-associated TB

01:22 and MDR and other drug-resistant TB in the projections for the years to come by the World Health Organization.

01:30 Through knowledge dissemination and expert guidance,

01:34 we empower individuals to take control of their health,

01:37 recognize the risk factors, and seek timely intervention.

01:42 In the continued wide campaign of the DOH to prevent the rapid and effective treatment,

01:48 the DOH will further strengthen the presence of the campaign through mobile vans

01:55 that will be transported to the countries.

01:57 And the guidelines will be fast-tracked through the implementation of regulatory frameworks.

02:03 Digital health technologies will also be implemented

02:07 for the progressive submission of data to public or private laboratories.

02:13 Supply of medicines will also be increased and the coordination with LGUs will be strengthened.

02:20 I'm glad to mention Consultayo Health Promotion Campaign

02:24 supporting our endeavors for disease prevention.

02:27 With these three key messages, primary prevention, secondary prevention,

02:32 and patient navigation of all levels of care,

02:35 Consultayo serves as a clear call to action for our health-seeking

02:40 and bringing Filipino families closer to their primary care.
