DISEASES

Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms,

such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. The diseases can
be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another.
The Philippines continues to witness outbreaks of emerging
infectious diseases, including epidemic-prone communicable
diseases such as dengue, cholera, typhoid and leptospirosis.
Dengue especially, has become a serious public health
problem, imposing a significant burden on hospitals and other
health care services.
The most common disease outbreaks are food-borne diseases
like cholera, salmonellosis and shigellosis. Meanwhile, the
Philippines continues to face health security threats from newly
emerging diseases
