DAVAO CITY -- The first Health of the Lumad Summit, with the theme “Sustainable Health and Research Engagement (SHARE) with the Lumads”, will be held here in Davao City on November 19-20, 2014 at the Brokenshire Resort and Convention Center in Madapo Hills.  The summit is organized by the six Regional Health Research and Development Consortia (RHRDCs) in Mindanao led by RHRDC-XI, in cooperation with the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) and the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC).

According to the event’s organizers, the summit aims to provide avenues for sharing experiences in doing research among indigenous peoples (IPs), and to identify issues that affect the health of IPs.  These discussions may form the basis for policy reviews and ethical guidelines in IP health research, which may then help create novel platforms for partnerships among IPs, research communities and other stakeholders.

Former Department of Health Secretary Dr. Jaime Galvez Tan will deliver the Keynote Address on the first day of summit.  Other invited speakers include doctors, nurses, health workers, educators and anthropologists from different institutions across Mindanao.  The summit hopes to bring together up to 300 participants coming from regional, provincial and municipal health offices, people’s organizations in IP communities, the academe, LGUs, CSOs, and other government agencies.

In 2012, a Forum in Infectious Diseases was carried out wherein research partners and stakeholders from various medical fields were gathered to generate specific research topics on Dengue, HIV and Neonatal sepsis.

As an off-shoot of the abovementioned activity, the Infectious Diseases Technical Working Group of the Regional Health Research and Development Consortium XI (RHRDC XI) conducted the “Research Workshop on Infectious Diseases” last July 10, 2014 (Batch 1) and July 31, 2014 (Batch 2) at the DMSF-MTRC Audio Visual Room,2nd floor, DMSF Drive, Bajada, Davao City. The working titles and research topic derivatives generated during the forum were developed into proposals by the participants. A total of five proposals were developed and presented on the 1st batch and seven proposals on the 2nd batch.

 

The proposals developed were critiqued by distinguished clinicians namely Dr. Alvin S. Concha, Dr. Rojim J. Sorrosa (both from Southern Philippines Medical Center and Davao Regional Hospital) and Dr. Raul Martin A. Coching (Davao Doctors Hospital). Critiquing was done to enhance the proposals which are hoped to be funded under the Regional Research Fund (RRF) Initiative of Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD).

Revised proposals shall be presented in September 2014 prior to its endorsement to the RHRDC XI Executive Management Committee.
