The NIH Mural

Body: 

The NIH Mural is a work by Salvador T. Juban, an artist/muralist who was known to be the last apprentice of National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco. In the center, the mural depicts the “Shining One Who Heals” who was originally known as Gabriel in Haldea. The Hebrew term “Rapha” meant “healer”, “doctor”, or “surgeon.” As an angel for healing, Raphael is often associated with the image of a serpent. He is known to be the chief ruling prince of the Second Heaven, chief of Order of the Virtues, Guardian of the Tree of Life in Eden and of the Seven Angels of the Tree. All these information was revealed to Tobias in the Book of Tobit.

THE NIH BUILDING

Body: 

Any historical tracing of the National Institutes of Health is deeply tied to the building in which it is housed. The current NIH Building is located along Pedro Gil Street in the University of the Philippines Manila campus. Inaugurated on 18 April 1997 during the term of Chancellor Perla D. Santos-Ocampo, this three-story building houses the NIH facilities such as its Central Laboratories and administrative offices of most of its Institutes and Centers, all basked in the beige exterior which complements the general façade of buildings around the UP Manila campus. The building welcomes everyone through its grand foyer that leads into the lobby where the NIH Mural is displayed for all to see.

NIH Contributions to COVID-19 Response

Body: 

The NIH is at the forefront of providing solutions to the challenges posed by the pandemic. The GenAmplify™ COVID-19 rRT-PCR Detection Kit was developed at the NIH and the UP Philippine Genome Center as a low-cost technology for detecting SARS CoV2, a big step for the country to achieve self-sufficiency in addressing the pandemic. Together with the UP SIBOL Project Team, the RxBox is being used for telemedicine and telemetry. Computers beside COVID-19 patients allow communication with HCWs remotely, decreasing close interaction and decreasing the number of HCWs required in one area.

NIH New Priority Programs

The completion of the 19-story NIH building by 2022 will provide a permanent home to the 14 NIH Institutes and Centers and 17 Study Groups. It will also be home to 4 upcoming new facilities:

1. The NIH-Clinical Research Center (NIH-CRC) envisioned as a center for excellence for the conduct of clinical trials in the Philippines;

2. The Animal Research Center for small-sized laboratory animals, which will promote evidence-based research with animal experiments seeking novel treatments and vaccines for various diseases;

The NIH Today

Vision: A recognized authority in health research and development and the key source of critical health information for national development in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

Mission: A major resource center for health research and capacity building, using the framework of “Partnerships for Better Health”
