DOH to DHW  name change

By Nidz Godino

HEALTH SECRETARY TEODORO HERBOSA

“Health and education are natural partners in  development of our nation… prevention and control of disease as well as  promotion of wellness begins in  hearts and minds of our children,”renaming  Department of Health will be further studied, according to DOH Assistant Secretary Albert Domingo.

Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa had floated  idea of renaming  DOH as Department of Health and Wellness.

Domingo said  this is  “sound idea…anchored on  broad understanding of  ultimate goal of public health.”

World Health Organization charter, he said, defines health as “ state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely  absence of disease or infirmity.”

Herbosa said, “we also want to teach  people about health promotion  how to maintain your health.”

Meanwhile, DOH welcomed Sen. Sonny Angara’s appointment as education secretary.
