An Evaluation of the Philippine Healthcare System: Preparing for a Robust Public Health in the Future – PMCThe new PMC design is here! Learn more about navigating our updated article layout. The PMC legacy view will also be available for a limited time.-
The health system in the Philippines is something that has been stagnant for the last couple of years. Though our health system is still better than most of the countries, it is still far from being advanced and at the same time, still far from being reached by anyone who needs services across the archipelago. As we all know, the health system of the Philippines is governed by PhilHealth, a program that subsidizes a variety of treatments including inpatient care and non-emergency surgeries. Although this program has been in motion for a long time now, not everyone has access to these services, especially those who are in remote areas. I personally believe that the Government should prioritize the health sector because it is the most important sector that supports our society. Investing in the health system would mean that the people of our country would have access to quality health services deservedly so, without being in fear of the financial aspect.
