HOW WE STARTED
HOW WE STARTED
The center began with a simple dream: to improve the country's health system by blending research and technology. The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted our purpose and social media brought it to light. As we shared our findings online, government agencies took notice, and the rest is history. One thing for sure, this center is driven from the NEED to bring a research-driven decision support system that will aid public officials and health workers in creating a more resilient public health system.
"Our center stands at the forefront among the Philippines' pioneering solutions to address the unique health challenges in the country. Through cutting-edge research, mentorship programs, and strategic collaborations with key agencies, we aim not only to inform decision-makers but also to nurture the next generation of health leaders.
As the Director of DiWA, I am proud to lead a team of dedicated professionals who are passionate about making a meaningful impact on public health. Our website is a gateway to our initiatives, projects, and the wealth of knowledge we aim to share. Explore with us as we embark on a journey towards a healthier and more resilient future."
