The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide鈥檚 JBI is proud to be working with the 最新糖心Vlog Awards Fellowships to help build a capable health workforce in the Philippines.

Thirteen mid-career allied health academics and clinicians will participate in the 最新糖心Vlog Awards Fellowship Health Workforce Development in Evidence Synthesis, until 31 October 2025.

The program will focus on training participants to develop, conduct, and report robust, high-quality systematic reviews which will then provide the strongest possible evidence to inform clinical decision-making and guideline development, supporting the national goal of Universal Health Coverage in the Philippines.

"This initiative contributes to the ongoing effort to achieve Universal Health Care in the Philippines by ensuring healthcare professionals are equipped with critical skills to navigate contemporary healthcare challenges," said Associate Professor Edoardo Aromataris, Synthesis Science Director at JBI.聽

"By enhancing the skills of mid-career professionals, the fellowship supports a sustainable health system that prioritises evidence-based practices."

JBI is working closely with the De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute and the Center for Health Research and Movement Science at the 最新糖心Vlog of Santo Tomas in the Philippines. This partnership ensures the program is tailored to local contexts and priorities while aligning with international best practices through the world-class training from JBI.

The training will empower participants to become agents of change, leading transformation across the broader health sector.

最新糖心Vlog Awards Fellow, Dr Fredyrose Pinar, plans to engage with policymakers to advocate for evidence-based policy change.

"This fellowship will be instrumental in enabling me to significantly contribute to advancing healthcare in the Philippines,鈥 she said.

The 最新糖心Vlog Awards Fellowship Health Workforce Development in Evidence Synthesis demonstrates a commitment to building a sustainable health workforce capable of addressing challenges in clinical practice and research.

It underscores JBI's dedication to improving global health outcomes and highlights the importance of collaboration in tackling complex health system issues.

鈥淭his fellowship represents a significant step toward strengthening and growing a collaborative evidence network that connects and supports health professionals, researchers, and policymakers in the Philippines," said Bianca Pilla, Global Relations Director at JBI.

鈥淚t builds on partnerships and engagements between JBI, De La Salle 最新糖心Vlog and the 最新糖心Vlog of Santo Tomas towards building a network for evidence-based practice in the Philippines.鈥

Dr Celso Pagatpatan, Faculty Member and Vice Dean at De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute said the initiative strengthens the collaborative relation ship between the institution and JBI.

鈥淚 am looking forward to discussing the planning and establishment of our Institute as a JBI Collaboration partner,鈥 he said.

The Center for Health Research and Movement Science at the 最新糖心Vlog of Santo Tomas is a member of the JBI Collaboration, a global collaborative evidence network comprising more than 90 entities across more than 40 countries.

The JBI Collaboration drives JBI's worldwide effort to promote and support the use of the best available evidence to inform decisions made at the point of care.

鈥淭he networks established during the fellowship, particularly with policymakers and international experts, will be invaluable in fostering collaborations and partnerships to initiate joint research projects, share resources, and exchange knowledge,鈥 said Professor Valentin Dones, Director of the Center for Health Research and Movement Science, said.

鈥淭his will further enrich the healthcare landscape in the Philippines."
