This document outlines a study that aims to assess the need for an isolation center for emerging diseases in Cagayan de Oro City Jail Male Dormitory. It notes that overcrowding in Philippine jails has led to the fast spread of infectious diseases. The study will survey jail personnel and inmates to understand disease prevalence, awareness of health issues, and necessary corrective measures. Results will be used to propose a strategic health protection plan for the jail.

workers available to tend to the sick or unwell.
