Visit to Tacloban

On 26-27 February, we visited Tacloban for the technical support of rabies diagnosis and histopathology in Regional Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory 8 (RADDL8). In 2013, The big typhoon Haiyan land Tacloban and a lot of people died.

RADDL8 was also damaged but thanks to the support, the building was reconstructed and many types of equipment are installed.

The purpose of this project is to establish one health approach. to diagnose rabies is one of the important roles in this project. In this visit, I was able to hear the diagnosis of rabies that is being done at RADDL 8 and the measures being done in Region8.

By knowing the problem of rabies diagnosis and measures in the Philippines, we would like to develop activities to make future activities available throughout the Philippines.
