A total of 15,000 doses of Lenacapavir (LEN) or injectable Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) are expected to arrive in the country through a Philippine-US partnership, the DOH said Monday.
The Philippine Department of Health has announced that 15,000 units of the injectable HIV prevention medication Lenacapavir are scheduled for delivery. This shipment is the result of a collaborative agreement between the Philippines and the United States. The drug, known as PrEP, serves as a preventative measure for individuals at risk of contracting the virus. Health authorities expect this supply to bolster local efforts in managing HIV transmission rates. The initiative highlights a strengthening of international health cooperation aimed at improving domestic medical resources.
This procurement represents a significant advancement in HIV prevention strategies by introducing long-acting injectable options to the local public health arsenal.
