Guided by this year’s theme, “Research and Innovation for Accessible, Equitable, and High-Quality Health Solutions amidst Global Health Crises”, the RHRS aims to disseminate the research outputs to different stakeholders in the region. It also aims to incentivize health researchers from the consortium’s member institutions and to encourage the conduct of more researches related to health by giving away cash prizes to the winners of the Poster Exhibit and Oral Presentation Contests.
Twenty-four (24) shortlisted health researches under the Professional and Student categories will be highlighted during the two-day activity, with the first day being the schedule for the Poster Exhibit and the second day for the Oral presentation. Some of the areas studied in the shortlisted health researches include Health Service Delivery; Maternal, Newborn and Child Health; Communicable Diseases; Mental Health; and Filipino Traditional and Complementary Medicine, among others.
The RHRS Planning Committee, spearheaded by the EVHRDC-Research Utilization Committee together with the four different EVHRDC Committees and the Secretariat has intensified its preparations for this event considering that this is the first time it will be conducted virtually.
