Department of Health(DOH)

I am Ernesto Alix, Executive Director for Education in the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc.  I am collecting data on the number of diarrhea cases acquired in Cebu Public Schools which I would like to correlate to the absence of sufficient Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities in public schools.  We will use this information to study the feasibility of donating WASH facilities in selected Cebu public schools.

Thank you.
