PhilPOPI, the Philippine Patient Organization for Primary Immunodeficiencies, is a non-profit patient organisation based in Paranaque City, Philippines. It was established in 2016 by the Philippine Society of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology and the International Patient Organization for Primary Immunodeficiencies as a national member, and was officially registered as a non-profit in 2019. The organisation aims to build a network of Filipino families and patients affected by primary immunodeficiencies (PID). Its stated goals include running public awareness and education campaigns about PID, advocating for patients' rights through policy formulation and government recognition, improving access to affordable medical care and treatment, building connections with health and patient organisations, government agencies, communities and healthcare professionals, and supporting medical and scientific research to improve PID diagnosis and treatment. The organisation highlights that PID is often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late, and promotes early diagnosis, including a simple complete blood count test.
