Soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) remains a major public health issue in the Philippines, particularly in rural and under-resourced communities. This strategic framework outlines a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach to reduce and ultimately eliminate the burden of STH through coordinated efforts in health, education, sanitation, and community engagement. By integrating preventive chemotherapy with sustained WASH interventions, health education, and robust surveillance systems, the framework promotes long-term control and prevention. Furthermore, aligning with the One Health approach and addressing climate change implications ensure resilience and sustainability of interventions, contributing to the national goal of eliminating STH as a public health problem by 2030.
