CFI champions a One Health approach, recognizing that human health, animal health, and ecosystem health are fundamentally interconnected. Our work addresses infectious diseases while tackling the environmental and social factors that shape community wellbeing.
Over the past decade, we’ve screened over half a million vulnerable Filipinos for tuberculosis and implemented community-based TB elimination strategies, earning the prestigious DOST Gelia Castillo Award for Social Innovations. Our pioneering leprosy research with RITM, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Leonard Wood Memorial, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta proved that subclinical intervention is possible, transforming treatment strategies.
We shape policy, not just provide care. Our expertise informed DOH programs on neglected tropical diseases and the development of TB and Leprosy Clinical Practice Guidelines. We orchestrated the 20th International Leprosy Conference in 2018 with WHO and DOH, and continue active case finding and contact tracing initiatives.
Since 2015, our maternal and child health programs have strengthened families through feeding initiatives, vitamin supplementation, and midwife capacity building, ensuring the next generation thrives.
