Dear Monica Aguirre,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Mar 17, 2023 09:22:46 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for updated number of employed nurses in tertiary hospitals in Davao City , region 11..

Response to Request

Your FOI request is approved. 

Attached are the data tables in response to your request

Notes:

The scope of data presented includes nurses practicing in private and public health facilities gathered from the following sources:

Private health facilities: HRH in private health facilities were gathered from private hospitals reporting to the National Database of Selected Human Resources for Health (NDHRHIS) as of December 2022

Government health facilities: Consolidated data from DOH - AS-PAD of DOH hospitals as of December 31, 2022; our valued client may contact AS-PAD for information validation through 8651-78-00 locals 4206-4209 or email at padreports@doh.gov.ph.

Note that the NDHRHIS only records HRH data that was encoded by health facility users that are registered in the system; the number of employed HRH in the health facility could possibly be more than reported in the system. You may contact the health facility to ask for clarification on their submitted HRH data in the system.

The list of Level 3 Hospitals was validated against the list of health facilities in the National Health Facility Registry (NHFR) accessible through the link nhfr.doh.gov.ph

Furthermore, may we provide our eFOI client with the Human Resource for Health (HRH) Statistics through PowerBI (bit.ly/HRHStat-2022) for his/her reference. In this dashboard, the client can study the number of nurses and other health cadres in their location of practice from 2016 to 2022.
