Davao City has been awarded a platinum distinction in the Pasidungog 2026 health excellence program organized by the Department of Health-Davao. The award was presented during a ceremony held in Davao City, recognizing the city’s commitment to public health initiatives.
The recognition comes after a rigorous evaluation process that assessed the city’s performance in key health indicators such as disease control, maternal and child health, and emergency response.

This marks the second consecutive year Davao City has received top honors in national health awards. The city’s health department has implemented several community-based programs, including mobile clinics and health education campaigns, which have contributed to improved health outcomes. The award highlights the ongoing efforts of local officials and healthcare workers to maintain high standards of public health.
