    [2/3] Philippine Health System
    MT14 (LEC) – CC

    • In the Philippine Health System, the Department of Health (DOH) is the government sector which directs the national healthcare industry. The DOH in return, coordinates with the Local Government Units who are given autonomy to operate their own healthcare services. According to Allianz care, the Philippine health care system is of high standard as observed with the highly trained and efficient medical staff despite having lesser quality in machines and facilities in comparison to the west. However, it is reflected that there is a lower quality in the healthcare systems in the rural areas.
      The video I’ve embedded above shows the inequality of the treatment received by those with and without the financial capacity. Former President Duterte has signed into law the Universal Healthcare Act. However, there are still some aspects which needs improvement especially in terms of funding. Attached below is another video link regarding the Universal Act which may be beneficial to your understanding.
