Dear eFOI user,

Thank you for your request dated Nov. 4, 2024, made under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

You have requested the Pneumonia Recorded Cases

I am pleased to inform you that your FOI request has been approved. However, we regret to inform you that the 2023-2024 mortality data are not yet available in the Philippine Health Statistics (PHS). We suggest requesting the said data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) since they are the primary source of registered deaths. However, we are sending the 2024 partial morbidity data on Pneumonia reported in the Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS). While data on sepsis is not available. The FHSIS data for the previous years are available at the DOH website: https://doh.gov.ph/data/publications/ (Publications > Health Report & Statistics > FHSIS Annual Reports) or at this link https://bit.ly/FHSISPHSannualreports.

Kindly accomplish the FOI Request Feedback form at the link: https://bit.ly/DOHFOIFeedbackForm, thank you.
