A new Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) study aims to develop a gender-responsive tuberculosis program to improve community reporting, management, and prevention. | ManilaBulletin
In a statement, DOST-PCHRD said that the project entitled, “Modelling a Gender Responsive TB Program in the Community: Validation of Gender Responsiveness Standards in TB Prevention and Management,” aims to support local government units in implementing policies and guidelines for TB, help break the stigma on the disease, and promote awareness and proper health-seeking behavior.
In the second phase, the research team will train city and barangay staff on gender sensitivity and responsiveness. Last March 23, 2023, the research team already presented the project’s accomplishments to the local government unit of Pasig. The team also conducted a poster-making competition among high school students in Barangay Santolan and Manggahan in Pasig to facilitate the dissemination of accurate gender-responsive messages about TB prevention and management with the help of the community.
