Year 2007 marked a significant milestone in the field of health research as the former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared every second week of August as the Philippine National Health Research System Week by virtue of Proclamation No. 1309.

Following the proclamation, PNHRS yearly conducts the PNHRS Week Celebration in different regions of the country, designed to hold parallel and plenary sessions, regular forums, and focus group discussions to promote a smoother exchange of health research and related information among concerned stakeholders.
