    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).
