For the first set of webinars in 2025, NHSC lead presenters and sessions descriptions are outlined below and each session will include a Q&A with NHSC representatives. The NHSC is also extending an invitation for interested technical lead/s from the DOH to provide a 10-minute background presentation of the Philippine context and DOH policy/reform/programme priorities in each session.
