Statement | 16 April 2024

The Department of Health (DOH) is elated and sincerely thankful for
the trust and confidence of our people in its performance for the
first quarter of 2024.

In a noncommissioned nationwide survey conducted by OCTAResearch last
March 11-14 (with 1,200 adult respondents and a margin of error of +/-
3%), most adult Filipinos highly trust five national government
agencies. DOH is tied at the top 2 spot with the Department of Social
Welfare and Development, coming in after the Department of Education.
The same survey found that 80% of adult Filipinos are satisfied with
the performance of the DOH.

“Ikinagagalak po ng buong DOH, kasama na ang hanay ng lahat ng mga
health worker, na mataas ang tiwala at kumpiyansa ng bayan sa
Kagawaran. Buong puso po ang aming pasasalamat,” said Health Secretary
Teodoro J. Herbosa.

“We are simply following the wise leadership of President Marcos, who
has made health a top priority. Our work continues – tunay na sa
administrasyong ito, Bawat Buhay Mahalaga!” added Secretary Herbosa.
