The DOH Office in Baguio City serves as the primary technical and administrative arm for health services in the region. Unlike a hospital, this office focuses on the systemic management of public health, including the implementation of national health campaigns at the local level. They are responsible for disease surveillance, immunization programs, and responding to health emergencies or outbreaks. The office works closely with the Baguio City Health Services Office and other local government units to ensure that health policies are effectively carried out in the unique highland context of the Cordilleras.
