With the rise of dengue cases especially among children, a local study has pioneered in the development of a statistical model that readily predicts the threat of dengue outbreaks in public elementary and high schools in the Philippines.

Supported by the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD), the “School-based Mosquito Abundance Model (SMAM)” study offers a predictive model based on actual data estimating the mosquito density in schools without having to do active vector surveillance.

 

A research tool for students that does not need Internet connectivity, in an area where Internet connection is intermittent, certainly creates wonders.

On August 14, 2014, Pagalanggang National High School in the municipality of Dinalupihan in Bataan acquired two units of STARBOOKS from the Department of Science and Technology’s Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII).

 

The Department of Science and Technology’s Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) will celebrate its 34th anniversary celebration on March 17, 2016 at New World Makati Hotel.
