FOREWORD

€ij• • •KALAYAAN

" ..v ..

The country experiences many disease occurrences everyyear. Some of these illnesses are communicable or contagious,someare seasonal. Most, however. are preventable.

With this in mind, the Department of Health (DOH) producedthe HEALTH ADVISORY, a one-pager leaflet for each disease thatregularly plagues the country the whole year round. These leafletscontain basic Information about a disease or a health-threateningsituation and how to prevent and manage it. Copies of theseadvisories are distributed to media outlets. DOH partners, mallsand markets. and other places where people converge.

The DOH hopes that these advisories will empower thepeople to decide and act for themselves in the prevention andcontrol of diseases.
