The Regional Health Research and Development Consortium (RHRDCs) is the structure through which the DOST- Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (PCHRD) Institution Development Programs are implemented, and became the mechanism that encourage and promote health research activities in the regions. Like any other RHRDCs, the Eastern Visayas Health Research and Development Consortium (EVHRDC) is the implementing arm of PCHRD in the realization of health related activities in Eastern Visayas.
As an initiative of PCHRD in tracking the activities of the RHRDCs in the regions, it monitors the monthly performance of the website of RHRDC nationwide. As a result, the EVHRDC got a rating of 91.67% from January to November 2017, and overall rating of 100% for the January to December 2017 rating period. With this, EVHRDC is one of the top six (6) regions, particularly regions 1, 2, 3, 8, 11 and Caraga, who got the first place in the search for Most Active RHRDC Website nationwide.
