Resumen
Descripción
The Philippines health sector is at a
critical stage in its transformation. While the country has
undertaken several significant health sector reforms in the
past decades, a large unfinished policy agenda remains. The
achievement of the health Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), especially among poor households, is at risk and
there is a newly emerging challenge of addressing
non-communicable diseases MDG. The overall health spending
ratio is one of the lowest in the region with out-of-pocket
(OOP) spending, a measure of financial protection, at over
half of all health spending, well above the average for
global comparators. It is within this context, that the
Philippine health sector review takes stock of health
reforms implemented to date, and evaluates the impact of
these reforms on health systems performance. Based on this
evaluation, the review identifies the challenges and future
policy directions for accelerating the transformation of the
Philippines health sector for improved health outcomes,
financial protection of the population and consumer satisfaction.
