About PNHRS

Anchored on the principles of the Essential National Health Research (ENHR) on inclusiveness, participation, quality, equity, and effectiveness, the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS) is an integrated national framework for health research in the country. It is a convergence strategy that aims to promote cooperation and integration of all health research efforts and stakeholders in the country to ensure that research contributes to evidence-informed health policies and actions.

Objectives

The PNHRS aims to improve the health status, productivity and the quality of life of Filipinos by:

  • Ensuring that health research is linked to the health system needs;
  • Ensuring that investments in health research yield the most benefit;
  • Promoting good governance among health research organization through efficient, effective, transparent and ethical health research management system;
  • Engaging in national and international partnerships and networks for health research development; and
  • Ensuring sustainability of resources for health research (Sec. 5, RA 10532).

History

The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and Department of Health (DOH) initiated the creation of a coordinated system for health research to contribute to the goals of an improved the quality of life of Filipinos. This coordinated system of convergence strategy is the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS). Formally began upon signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between DOST Secretary Estrella F. Alabastro and DOH Secretary Manuel M. Dayrit on 17 March 2003. In 2007, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and University of the Philippines Manila (UPM) joined as core agencies of PNHRS by virtue of a MOU signed by DOST Secretary Alabastro, CHED Chair Carlito Puno, UPM Chancellor Ramon Arcadio and DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III.

On 7 May 2013, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III signed the Republic Act 10532, also known as “Philippine National Health Research System Act of 2013," which provides the institutionalization of the PNHRS. The Law was published on 16 May 2013 in the Manila Bulletin and became effective on 1 June 2013. Pursuant to Section 15 of RA 10532, the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) were then crafted through a series of consultations with the stakeholders and key persons from the implementing agencies to prescribe the procedures and guidelines for the implementation of the PNHRS Act.  On 30 July 2013, the IRR was signed by DOST Secretary Mario G. Montejo, DOH Secretary Enrique T. Ona, CHED Chairperson Patricia B. Licuanan, and UP Manila Chancellor Manuel B. Agulto. The IRR was published on 31 October 2013, making it effective on 15 November 2013. The PNHRS organogram composed of the Governing Council (GC), the Steering Committee, the Technical Working Committees (TWC), the Secretariat and the whole research community.

Today, the DOST through Philippine Council of Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), the DOH through Health Policy Development and Planning Bureau (DOH-HPDPB), the CHED and University of the Philippines Manila-National Institutes of Health (UPM-NIH) form the PNHRS implementing agencies, with PCHRD as the lead Secretariat.

 

Vision | Mission | Core Values |Strategy Map

 

The the Implementing Agencies, Technical Working Committees (TWCs) and the Regional Health Research & Development Consortia (RHRDCs)  came up with the PNHRS Strategy Map and Scorecard for 2019-2022 which articulates the vision, mission, objectives and performance measures, in line with its mandate and core ethical principles.

In drafting the PNHRS Strategy Map and Scorecard, the multi-sectoral processes approach was conducted to ensure that concerns of various components of the system are factored in.
