Health Update: Philippine National Health Research System Celebrates! PNHRS Week celebration provides a platform for the various sectors in health research and development (R&D) to interact and learn from each other; share information, experiences, and best practices; voice out and discuss concerns; and contribute research-based solutions to health problems. Around 500 participants from the 17 regional health research organizations are expected to attend the event. The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Department of Health (DOH), established the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS) through a Memorandum of Understanding signed on March 17, 2003. The PNHRS aims to promote cooperation and integration of all health research efforts in the country to ensure that research contributes to health policies and actions. In 2007, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and University of the Philippines Manila (UP Manila) joined as core agencies of the PNHRS.
