IN THE wake of the massive flooding that hit a large part of the country, the Department of Health said Tuesday, July 22, 2025, that it is bracing for a spike in leptospirosis cases. Speaking to reporters during his visit to the evacuation center of the Nangka Elementary School in Marikina City, Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa said they are preparing for an expected surge in the flood-borne disease.
The health chief said this is why they have readied an adequate amount of medicines in evacuation centers, including antibiotics for those who waded in flood water. 'Mamimigay kami ng gamot at serbisyo sa nangangailangan gaya ng doxycycline para pang proteksyon sa leptospirosis,' said Herbosa. He said they have also prepositioned other types of medication, including maintenance medicines.
