Dear eFOI user, 
Mabuhay!
Thank you for utilizing the eFOI portal (www.foi.gov.ph) and exercising your right to information under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016 on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
We have received your request on Request for DOH statistics on RSV, dated Dec. 5, 2024. 
  This pertains to the memorandum with the subject: Response to eFOI Request #DOH-112121741775, from Evan Payawal, requesting for 2022-2024 data on Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) hospitalization and death. We regret to inform you that the data on hospitalization is not available in the Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS). However, the latest 2022 mortality data from the Philippine Health Statistics is ZERO. Furthermore, the 2023-2024 mortality data is not yet available in the PHS. We suggest requesting the said data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) since they are the primary source of registered deaths.   All data being collected by the FHSIS can be found on the DOH website:

(Publications > Health Report & Statistics > FHSIS Annual Reports) or via this link
