In July, RITM labs will test vaccine-preventable infections.

This year, the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine’s subnational laboratories will be able to examine vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, rubella, Japanese encephalitis, and rotavirus.

RITM Virology Department Head Mayan Lumandas revealed the RITM, the Department of Health, and the World Health Organization had created seven subnational laboratories statewide in a televised Laging Handa public briefing.

In Luzon, they are the Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center and the Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital; in the Visayas, they are the Vicente Sotto Medical Center and the Western Visayas Medical Center; and in Mindanao, they are the Southern Philippines Medical Center, the Zamboanga City Medical Center, and the Cotabato Regional and Medical Center.

“As a result, iyong mga laboratory po magkakaroon ng kapasidad na mag-test ng apat na sakit sa pamamagitan po ng pag-analyze ng dugo,” Lumandas explained.

She explained that laboratories with this level of capacity are critical because they enable the government to respond to outbreaks and provide relevant data for the National Immunization Program and vaccine-preventable illness campaigns.

In July, the subnational laboratories are slated to conduct testing.
