Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major problem in the Philippines as the country ranks fourth globally in terms of incidence based on the 2019 WHO Global Tuberculosis Report and fares lowest in terms of national performance compared with the ASEAN neighbors.
Under-notification of TB cases remains a perennial problem that the Department of Health (DOH) aim to improve. Mandatory notification of TB is essential for routine surveillance and for determining the burden of disease in the country. It also provides data to detect outbreaks, and to plan, implement and evaluate healthcare programs.
The Comprehensive Tuberculosis Elimination Plan Act (Republic Act No. 10767, section 12) requires all public and private health centers, hospitals and facilities to observe the national protocol on TB management and to notify the DOH of all TB cases.
The Integrated Tuberculosis Information System (ITIS) is the official application of the DOH Philippines for the recording and reporting of TB cases by all DOTS providing facilities and laboratories. This application was developed and maintained by the Knowledge Management and Information Technology Service of DOH.
