Study Notes

Healthcare Delivery System in the Philippines

The World Health Organization (WHO) leads global health initiatives as a UN specialized agency.
Health services are provided by both government and the private sector, including for-profit and non-profit agencies (NGOs).
The Department of Health (DOH) at the national level sets health service directions, emphasizing local government units (LGUs) responsibilities as per the Local Government Code (R.A. 7160).
Basic health services are prioritized for LGUs to meet community health needs and requirements.

Definitions and Key Terms

Health System: Comprises organizations, individuals, and actions focused on promoting, restoring, or maintaining health.
Healthcare Delivery System: Encompasses all policies, infrastructures, and services dedicated to addressing health needs of the population.
Health Care Reform: Aims to improve provider reach and focus on patient care and rehabilitation.

Factors Influencing Healthcare Delivery

Healthcare delivery is influenced by reforms, drug abuse treatment access, and rehabilitation facilities.
The system includes entities that provide diagnostic services, such as clinical laboratories and blood service facilities.

Philippine Health Agenda (2010-2022)

Criticized for being overly economic-focused in addressing healthcare development.
Emphasizes community participation and collaboration across sectors: education, public works, agriculture, and local governance.

Health Programs and Community Engagement

Programs include "Botika ng Bayan," promoting local drug availability, and mass immunization campaigns like “Ligtas sa Tigdas ang Pinas.”
Community participation is crucial; citizens are seen as active participants in healthcare, not just recipients.

Health System Challenges

Inequitable access to healthcare resources remains a critical issue; poorer populations are most affected by inadequate services.
Significant numbers of rural health units (RHUs) and government hospitals lack accreditation, further limiting access.

Strategic Objectives and Goals

Aims for improved health outcomes, sustained health financing, and a responsive health system.
Focuses on equitable access to affordable healthcare, especially for disadvantaged groups.

Health Technology and Assessment Council (HTAC)

Establishment of HTAC is aimed at evaluating new health technologies and recommending their integration into health systems.
Target to reduce maternal mortality rates significantly, from 209 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1990 to 52 by 2015 under Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
