Basically, the DOH has three major roles in the health sector: (1) leadership in health; (2) enabler and capacity builder; and (3) administrator of specific services. Its mandate is to develop national plans, technical standards, and guidelines on health. Aside from being the regulator of all health services and products, the DOH is the provider of special tertiary health care services and technical assistance to health providers and stakeholders.
While pursuing its vision, the DOH adheres to the highest values of work, which are:
Integrity

Excellence

Compassion and respect for human dignity
Whilst DOH upholds the quality of life, respect for human dignity is encouraged by working with sympathy and benevolence for the people in need.
Commitment
With all our hearts and minds, the Department commits to achieve its vision for the health and development of future generations.
Professionalism

Teamwork

Stewardship of the health of the people
