Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year and understand what the numbers mean. Severe high blood pressure combined with symptoms such as chest pain or trouble speaking may be a hypertensive emergency, according to the new high blood pressure guideline, and you should call 911 immediately.

Huwag matakot magpa-HIV test. Kung magpositibo man, may libre at epektibong gamutan para mapanatili ang malusog na pamumuhay. 💊👍

Mula March 2024 hanggang March 2025, 88% ng mga PLHIV na naka-enroll sa antiretroviral therapy (ART) at sumailalim sa viral load test ay natukoy na virally suppressed. Patunay ito na ang tuloy-tuloy na ART para sa mga PLHIV ay nakatutulong para mas mabilis nilang maabot ang Undetectable = Untransmittable status.

Available ang ART services sa mga DOH HIV care facilities: tinyurl.com/HIVTreatmentHubs. 🏥

‼️YOSING BINUGA, NALALASON DIN ANG IBA‼️

Alam mo ba na sa bawat buga ng sigarilyo, 4,000 na kemikal ang nakakalat at nalalanghap ng ibang tao. Naglalaman ito ng mga kemikal na maaaring magdulot ng kanser. ☠️

Hindi lang ang smoker ang maaaring makakuha ng sakit, nalalanghap ito ng mga taong nasa paligid mo—damay pati ang pamilya mo! 😨

‘Wag magyosi ‘wag mag-vape! Tumawag sa DOH Quitline 1558 para sa tulong sa pag-quit. 🚭

ON COVID-19 CASES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA
17 May 2025

The Department of Health is actively monitoring COVID-19 trends including the recently reported increases in specific areas of Southeast Asia. We are actively coordinating through established mechanisms like the ASEAN. This gives us verified information, boosting readiness even as we see no cause for alarm.

In the Philippines, as of May 3, 2025, we have observed an 87% decrease in cases and fatalities from 2024, with only 1,774 COVID-19 cases reported this year compared to 14,074 last year. The case fatality rate is only 1.13%. Recent trends also indicate a slight decrease in reported cases over the past three to four weeks. From 71 cases in the week of March 23 to April 5, 2025, it has decreased to 65 cases from April 6 to 19.

We are committed to keeping the public informed and will provide timely updates should the situation evolve. We encourage everyone to stay informed through official DOH channels, and continue practicing the same preventive measures that protect from other diseases:

✅Wear face masks in healthcare facilities
✅Stay home when sick
✅Cover your mouth when coughing and sneezing
✅Regularly wash hands with soap and water
✅Seek early consultation for symptoms
