About PDHW
Under Proclamation No. 930, s. 2020, the second week of March is officially designated as “Philippine Digestive Health Week” (PDHW). This annual observance aims to raise awareness about digestive health, educate the public on preventing and managing digestive diseases, and encourage Filipinos to take proactive steps toward a healthier gut.
Led by the Department of Health (DOH), the nationwide celebration involves collaboration with other government agencies, the private sector, and civil society groups to promote gut health and well-being.
