FORT BONIFACIO, Metro Manila - The Philippine Army launches its COVID-19 Telemedicine Information System (PACTIS) Project here today, July 31, 2020.
The Commanding General of the Philippine Army, Lt. Gen. Gilbert I. Gapay led the launching of the project which serves to systematically record and consolidate detailed information of identified Army personnel and their dependents that have been tested positive for COVID-19 in order to efficiently monitor and manage human resources in the midst of the pandemic.
PACTIS also aims to eliminate the manual collection and encoding of data from different Major Units and to systematically record the data of Probable, Suspected, Cleared, Recovered, and Death cases within the PA.
The project was initiated by the Office of the Army Chief Surgeon and Office of the Army Chief Nurse through the Army Signal Regiment.
"We stress the importance of preserving the force so that we could focus on accomplishing our various missions. Through this system, we will be able to further protect our men and women working in the frontlines as well as their families from the onslaught of this pandemic," said Gapay. #
