The Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development (DOST-PCHRD) is mandated to formulate and develop strategies, policies, plans, and programs for science and technology in health. As the national body responsible for funding, coordinating, and monitoring health research activities in the country, the DOST-PCHRD supported and implemented the Traditional Knowledge on Health Program (TK on Health) to document and preserve the traditional knowledge and healing practices of indigenous peoples and cultural communities in a digital library also known as the Philippine Traditional Knowledge Digital Library on Health (Philippine TKDL).
