With the overall theme “Juan Science. One Nation,” this year’s NSTW will be simultaneously celebrated in various regions of the country. Commemorative ceremonies and activities highlighting the contribution of S&T to national development are expected.

For the NSTW 2016, PCHRD has partnered with the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) and the Metro Manila Health Research and Development Consortium (MMHRDC) to form the MMHSC and showcase DOST’s latest projects and technologies on health and nutrition,” explained PCHRD Executive Director Jaime Montoya.

The MMHSC will hold an open house exhibit at SM MOA Atrium to feature technologies on health such as eHATID, RxBox, Axis Knee System, and Biotek-M. Among the activities to be conducted also are natural products forum, mental health awareness among teenagers, health apps webinar, traditional medicine forum, nutrition counseling, and nutrition survey forum.

With their theme “Kalusugan ni Juan at Juana. Kalusugan ng Bayan,” the MMHSC hopes to inspire government and private sectors in supporting and creating similar initiatives improving the national economy and lives of the citizens.

We are very excited for this year’s S&T week. Through the help of MMHRDC, we gathered the participation of some universities in Metro Manila to conduct activities presenting current issues and concerns on health in the country,” added Dr. Montoya.

Among these universities are University of Santo Tomas (UST), De La Salle University (DLSU), University of the East Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Medical Center (UERM), University of the Philippines Manila (UP Manila), and Saint Luke’s Medical Center.
