Facts about Philippines Healthcare

-


The Philippines Healthcare System is described by the WHO as "fragmented." Unfair and uneven access to health care has a long history of disproportionately affecting the poor. The government spends little money on the program, resulting in substantial out-of-pocket expenses and widening the wealth disparity.

The Barrios doctors include public-private partnerships in a plan to modernize the hospitals owned by the government and provide up-to-date supplies for medical care.

A project called The Barrios Doctors and its private sectors has set up nine cancer centers, eight heart centers, and seven transplant centers in regional medical centers to compensate for the inequality.


Tuberculosis, dengue fever, malaria, and HIV/AIDS affect a large number of Filipinos. Protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are becoming more widespread as a result of these disorders. A high prevalence of obesity together with cardiac disease affects the population.

More than 3,500 public health facilities throughout the country have been updated.

Many of the Philippines' 90 million inhabitants lack access to basic medical care. The country has a high maternal and newborn mortality rate, and a high fertility rate. This causes issues for persons who have limited access to basic healthcare or who are in bad health in general.

Only 30 percent of the government's health workers address the majority's health needs. Healthcare is suffering in the Philippines, with the remaining 70 percent working in the more costly and private sect

Human medical resources, particularly doctors, are in limited supply in the Philippines' healthcare system. As a result, the system becomes slower and less efficient.

Filipino families who can afford private health facilities usually choose to do so. Private facilities provide a better quality of care than public installations which families generally receive less income. In rural areas, public facilities are more disappearing. There are fewer medical personnel and lower supplies in these facilities.
