The National Institutes of Health was created on January 26, 1996 by the University of the Philippines Board of Regents to enhance research undertakings of UP Manila with regards to public health.

Eventually, NIH was established as the national health research center of the Philippines through the Health Research and Development Act of 1998, otherwise known as Republic Act 8503.[2][3]
