Health Policies as Determinants of Health  Right to Health In order to protect, respect, and fulfill the “right to health”, we need to know what it is, what it entails, and whom it is. Image Credits: AdMU IPC, 3CPNET  1987 Philippine Constitution “The State shall protect and promote the right to health of the people.”1 “The States … recognize the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of […] 2 health.” 1 Philippine Constitution, art. II, §15. 2 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, art. 12(1).  ‘Intent of the Framers’, 1986 Philippine Constitutional Commission From proponent, Commissioner Minda Luz Quesada: “We want a very strong declaration of principle as far as health is concerned.” “[H]ere is actually a thrust to make health care become more preventive in orientation rather than having to wait for people to seek medical care when they are already sick Records of the 1986 Constitutional Commission.  ‘Intent of the Framers’, 1986 Philippine Constitutional Commission Ms. NIEVA: “So, the thrust is just an awareness then[?]” Ms. QUESADA: It is not just an awareness. I do not want to put the words “CRITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS,” but it is actually not just knowing the facts about why one needs to brush his teeth and all that. […] a consciousness that makes people behave and put into practice what they know about their health; so that they stop smoking, they exercise, they avoid certain foods because they now have this consciousness. So, it is a consciousness that makes people act on what they know. Records of the 1986 Constitutional Commission, vol. IV, p. 906 ‘Intent of the Framers’, 1986 Philippine Constitutional Commission From Commissioner Blas Ople: “I think the committee is right in wanting to focus on fostering health consciousness among the people as a declaration of principles because a nation that has risen to a state of consciousness for itself and the health of its members will make so many hospitals and so many expensive outlays on social services in the field of health unnecessary.” Records of the 1986 Constitutional Commission Health as a Fundamental Right Health is a fundamental human right indispensable for the exercise of other human rights.”1 “The right to health is closely related to and dependent upon the 2 realization of other human rights.” 1 UN OHCHR, CESCR General Comment No. 14 (2000), ¶1 2 Id., ¶3. Social Determinants of Health The conditions in which people are born, grow, work, and age: these include socio-economic aspects, the state of the environment, the design of cities, and opportunities to access and use health services.  Health Equity The opportunity for everyone to attain his or her full health potential No one is disadvantaged from achieving this potential because of his or her social position or other socially determined circumstance. Reference: Whitehead M. et al  Health Inequities WHO -“Health inequities flow from patterns of social stratification — that is, from the systematically unequal distribution of power, prestige and resources among groups in society” Systematic and unjust distribution of social, economic, and environmental conditions needed for health Unequal access to quality education, healthcare, housing, transportation, other resources (e.g.information, social benefits) Unequal employment opportunities and pay/income Discrimination based upon social status/other factors  Health Disparities Differences in the incidence and prevalence of health conditions and health status between groups, based on: Race/ethnicity Socioeconomic status Sexual orientation Gender Disability status Geographic location Combination of these  MayamanHealth na probinsya inequity slide Mahirap na probinsya Haba ng buhay > 80 Haba ng buhay < 60 Sanggol na namamatay Sanggol na namamatay < 10 > 90 Namamatay sa Namamatay sa panganganak panganganak < 15 >150 health inequities UHC Study Group, NIH Manila Comparing Health Development Index (HDI) and Life Expectancy at Birth Comparing Health Development Index (HDI) and Life Expectancy at Birth Mortality Rates of Selected Diseases - Vietnam, Indonesia and Philipppines Health outcomes lagging behind our Asean Neighbors Life Expectancy at Birth, Total (Years) From: “Reconfigurin g Primary Health Care Study” From: “Reconfiguring Primary Health Care Study” Pre-PHC PHC Adoption Devolution HSRA Fourmula1 KP & Expansion Source: The World Bank (2015).
