You have requested the Statistics of Guillain-Barre Syndrome

We are sending you the latest 2022 mortality data available in the Philippine Health Statistics (PHS). However, other requests are not available in the PHS and Field Health Services Information System (FHSIS).

The official FHSIS data are available on the DOH website https://doh.gov.ph/data/publications/ (Publications > Health Report & Statistics) or at this link https://bit.ly/FHSISPHSannualreports.
