Zypher Jude G. Regencia, Chief Research Officer & Principal, alongside fellow researchers, recently published a study in Discover Public Health exploring HIV perceptions and the educational impact of Battle in the Bloodโ€”a mobile health game designed to promote HIV awareness. This was part of his UNSW-Sydney Kirby Institute CHART Program Fellowship for HIV.

The study examines how gamified learning can influence awareness, attitudes, and reflections on HIV among key populations in the Philippines.

Key insights include:
โ€ข Mobile gaming can support HIV education and awareness
โ€ข Gamified experiences help humanize people living with HIV (PLHIV)
โ€ข Opportunities exist to further enhance inclusivity and engagement in health games
โ€ข Digital tools can play a role in reducing stigma and improving outreach

The research highlights the potential of innovative, user-informed digital solutions in strengthening HIV education and public health strategies.

DISH - Data and Implementation Sciences for Health proudly marks the successful completion and presentation of Phase II: Access to Thyroid Care Project, a Merck Healthcare Philippines ThyroMobile initiative focused on strengthening local health systems and improving access to thyroid care at the community level.

Implemented in Cebu, the project adopted a capacity-building approachโ€”equipping LGU health workers, program managers, and frontline providers with practical tools to enhance early detection, patient navigation, and integration of thyroid care into existing services.

Key achievements include:
โ€ข Development of structured, modular training programs for LGUs
โ€ข Training of trainers and rollout sessions for frontline health workers
โ€ข Institutional handover of modules to Cebu CHD and partner LGUs
โ€ข Integration of thyroid screening into routine facility processes

By strengthening local capacity and enabling systems, the initiative sets the foundation for more sustainable and scalable thyroid care programs across the Philippines.

DISH remains committed to advancing locally driven, system-oriented solutions that improve access to care and public health outcomes.

On 8 April 2026, the Philippine To***co Partners Subnational Quarter 1 Meeting was held at Harold Hotel in Quezon City, bringing together partners from public health and policy advocacy organizations, including DISH, alongside other key stakeholders. The workshop focused on strengthening to***co control implementation at the subnational level, with key discussions highlighting persistent enforcement gaps, uneven adoption of to***co control measures across LGUs, and emerging implementation challenges.

A central outcome of the session was advancing the development of a consolidated Subnational Theory of Changeโ€”designed to better align LGU and partner actions with national to***co control outcomes and ensure measurable public health impact. Participants also worked toward institutionalizing subnational coordination through a proposed Subnational Secretariat, envisioned as a convener and facilitator to support collaboration, information sharing, and sustained engagement across LGUs and partners.
