The Institute of Child Health and Human Development has just concluded its 27th Anniversary Celebration last April 24, 2026 titled “Do No Harm: Protecting Children in Research” with a very fruitful discussion.
Our article titled "From Climate Change to Community Action: Training Barangay Health Workers on Climate and Health in the Philippines" was recently published in The Global Health Network.
The webinar titled “Severe or Non-severe? Overcoming Diagnostic Hesitation in Pediatric TB Treatment” was successfully conducted on March 18, 2026, in commemoration of World TB Day. The activity brought together healthcare professionals to strengthen capacity in the diagnosis and management of pediatric tuberculosis (TB), particularly in light of recent advances in treatment.

Climate Information Services (CIS) play a critical role in safeguarding public health by providing data and tools that enhance our understanding of how climate and weather influence health outcomes. The Institute of Child Health and Human Development (ICHHD) collaborated with the Climate Change Commission, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Mariano Marcos State University, College of Medicine Department of Biochemistry - Molecular Biology, Institute of Health Policy and Development Studies and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to conduct studies using climate information and its effect on health outcomes. This symposium aims to highlight the results from these projects and how climate information can inform public health in the Philippines.
