Updated 2010–2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control Tuberculosis

Publications - Released in 2014

The 2010–2016 Philippine Plan of Action to Control TB or PhilPACT was formulated through a participatory process to serve as the country’s road map in reducing the problem of tuberculosis. It was issued by the Department of Health (DOH) through Administrative Order 2010-0031. Consistent with the then Health Sector Reform Agenda, the plan contains four objectives, eight strategies and 30 performance targets. In his preface to the document, Secretary Enrique T. Ona states that “a sound strategy and a strong partnership between local government units, civil society, technical and financial partners are the keys to the success of the plan.” 

Three years had passed since PhilPACT was initiated in 2010 under the leadership of the DOH through the National TB Control Program (NTP). Its monitoring and evaluation framework provides for a stakeholderparticipated midterm-evaluation in early 2013.

This updated PhilPACT will guide the country as it intensifies its efforts to control TB in 2014–2016. Per the original document, "expected users are policy makers, managers of TB control program at all levels, implementers, local and international partners, and everyone who dreams of and is committed to working towards a TB-free Philippines."
