Aside from the continuous fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Tuesday tasked the Department of Health to also prioritize the campaign against human immunodeficiency virus and tuberculosis infections.
Vergeire told Marcos that the DOH had become "more innovative" in the fight against tuberculosis, noting that the agency would launch the primary care program that includes TB-DOTS. “So, for example, they have prescriptions that will be given by doctors who just need them... medicines for just one, two months, they will not finish their medicines and they become resistant,” Vergeire said.
"So mag-X-ray ka dito, for example, ‘yung province A, will just be sent to an app on the phone; in minutes you get your chest x-ray reading to artificial intelligence and right away you subject the patient to sputum examination, and in three to four hours they start your medication,” Vergeire said.
