  4. Country Overview • Philippines is a sovereign island country in Southeast Asia situated in the Western Pacific Ocean. • It consists of 7,107 islands that are categorized broadly under three main geographical divisions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Volunteers + Logistics + Information Technology = a PRC that is

  5. Country Overview MERS-CoV Cases: On 6 July 2015, the IHR National Focal Point of the Philippines notified WHO of 1 laboratory-confirmed case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome CoronaVirus (MERS-CoV) infection. The national authorities of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been informed. Investigations on the possible exposure and contact tracing are now closed. Enhanced disease surveillance is being implemented. Volunteers + Logistics + Information Technology = a PRC that is

  6. Country Overview EVD Surveillance: • Last November 2014, more than 100 soldiers returning to the Philippines from a peacekeeping mission in Liberia, the country hardest hit by an Ebola epidemic in West Africa, was quarantined on a secluded island. The 112-member peacekeeping contingent is due to arrive in Manila on November 11. Volunteers + Logistics + Information Technology = a PRC that is
