Regional Health Research System (RHRS)

The regions are at the helm of the Philippine National Health Research System (PNHRS). The PNHRS framework is mirrored in all the regions of the country, forming a network of regional research consortia. The consortium set-up varies depending on the culture and resources of the region. Each regional health research system addresses concerns relating to its health research agenda, development of human resource, conduct of research, dissemination and utilization of research results, resource mobilization, leadership and management.
