DOH says Herbosa’s ‘endorsement’ of osteoarthritis cure is fake

MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Health (DOH) on Tuesday issued a warning against a fake post that uses the name of DOH Secretary Teodoro Herbosa to endorse a supposed treatment for osteoarthritis.

According to the DOH, this endorsement is entirely false, and the health department and its secretary have not supported such a product.
