00:00The country's fight against cancer is expected to be even more intense
00:04which is one of the main reasons for the death of Filipinos.
00:08This is due to the National Cancer Research Agenda 2024-2028.
00:13Aside from this, the country's health workforce will also be strengthened.
00:17Bian Manalo is in the center of the news.
00:21The Minister of Health from the countries in the Asia-Pacific region
00:27for the opening ceremony of the Philippine Partnership on Sustainable Health Workforce for Health Security.
00:33The conference also discussed initiatives that will strengthen the health care system of the countries in the region.
00:42Also, the creation of plans and innovative solutions that will strengthen the health care workforce.
00:48Now I'm looking at this from a health system strengthening perspective.
00:52This is not a health workforce issue.
00:55Because the health workforce is part of the health system.
00:58The conference also discussed the creation of a sustainable health workforce in the Pacific region
01:04despite the effects of calamities and other diseases on the health workforce
01:09and the strengthening of partnership engagement in the development of a strong health force.
01:14As part of strengthening the health care system,
01:18the country's health care providers will also be given training.
01:23The nurses will be particular.
01:25The Filipino nurses are good.
01:27We can share the expertise to train local nurses.
01:30So I'm shifting from exporting them to bringing our trainers to the different islands.
01:35Meanwhile, the Philippine Cancer Center successfully launched
01:39their National Cancer Research Agenda 2024-2028.
01:45This initiative will strengthen cancer-related research efforts in the next five years.
01:52This is also true in providing a good and quality medical service for all Filipinos.
