PAMET Cagayan Webinar Series No. 4
Bridging Research Science and Governance: Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy and Ethical Standards in Health
December 20, 2024
Online via PAMET Virtual Platform
This webinar focuses on the intersection of cutting-edge research diagnostics and the ethical governance of healthcare in the Philippines. With the increasing need for accurate and reliable diagnostic tools, particularly for diseases like leptospirosis, and the growing emphasis on ethical standards in health governance, this event will bring together experts to explore innovative solutions to these challenges
The first part of the webinar will delve into Research Diagnostics, specifically the development of a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) kit for leptospirosis in the Philippine setting. Mr. Benjie Clemente, a registered medical technologist and college instructor from the University of Santo Tomas, will discuss the basics of leptospirosis infection, its epidemiology, and the challenges in diagnosing the disease with current LFIA kits. He will also share insights into the ongoing research and development efforts aimed at improving diagnostic accuracy.
The second half will explore the ethical dimensions of healthcare governance. Atty. Kymverlie Mallo, a lawyer by profession and the expert in Local Government Operations V (LGOO) of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Regional Office 02, will examine the role of ethical standards in healthcare. Topics will include the ethical responsibilities of health professionals, patient confidentiality, data protection, and the importance of professionalism in public health advocacy. Her discussion will highlight the importance of adhering to the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials (RA 6713) in health services, and how these principles guide patient care and public health decisions.
By bridging the worlds of Research Science and Health Governance, this webinar aims to foster a deeper understanding of how innovations in diagnostics and adherence to ethical standards can enhance healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes in the Philippines.
