Health plays a vital role in the road to development.

However, in the Philippines as financial


allocations for public hospitals are not prioritized by the government, as manifested in the insufficient
funds for the operations and maintenance of the public hopitals, the Filipinos are losing an essential
right and a basic need. Every day, patients and health workers alike suffer the consequences of lack
of supplies and financial aid.

The study aimed to evaluate and to validate the implications of the present state of the Philippine
General Hospital, in the delivery of accessible health care services and as an employer to hundreds
of health workers, in the midst of the financial inadequacies of the government and ODA system.

The Health Systems in Transition (HiT) profiles are country-based reports that provide a detailed
description of a health system and of policy initiatives in progress or under development. HiTS examine
different approaches to the organization, financing and delivery of health services and the role of the
main actors in health systems; describe the institutional framework, process, content and
implementation of health and health care policies; and highlight challenges and areas that require more
in-depth analysis.

POLITICAL CONTEXT Since 1897, the Philippines has had seven constitutions. The latest ratified by
referendum in 1987 and now in effect, established a republican government patterned after that of the
United States with a strong executive branch, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary
under a supreme court. The executive branch through the national government agencies and local
government units exercises administrative and/or regulatory authority over the health system as a
whole. The legislative branch influences the health system in two ways: a) by approving the annual
budgets of national health agencies and institutions; and b) by individual congressmen allocating their
“development funds” (PDAF or “pork barrel”) to specific health institutions for various purposes. The
judiciary affects the health system in both the government and private sectors when it renders decisions
in legal disputes involving health agencies, institutions and individuals. (HOW PUBLIC HOSPITAL IS
CONNECTED WITH POLITICS)

1.4 HEALTH STATUS Philippine health status indicators show that the country lags behind most of South-
East and North Asia in terms of health outcomes. While rapid improvements were seen during the last
three decades, these have slowed in recent years. (HEALTH STATUS IN CALBAYOG – CITY HEALTH

HEALTH FACILITY PLANNING

The Plan underscored the importance of leadership; strategic planning based on population needs;
accessibility of services especially those in hard-to-reach areas; technical and human resource
development; operational standards and technology; and networking in the development of hospitals

INFORMATION SYSTEM

These negative conditions create information gaps at the national and local levels. The lack of health
informatics standards -- which prevents any system from scaling at a faster rate or inter-operating with
another system – is a key issue.

PATIENT EMPOWERMENT

- PHILHEALTH AND PATIENT INFO


- PhilHealth is mandated to provide health education to address the health care information gap.
As determined by the Corporation and from Republic Act 7875, section 10 – the following will be
provided: inpatient care with inpatient education packages and outpatient care with personal
preventive services. Furthermore, the Implementing Rules and Regulations calls for health
education packages. These may be provided by community-based health care organizations,
physicians and midwives, etc. A study carried out by PhilHealth in 2006 among its sponsored
members (Figure 2-4) found that the major reasons for non-use of health centres were lack of
health care information and inadequate service provision.

All hospitals have basic clinical, administrative, ancillary and nursing services. Variations in these services
depend on the level of the hospital. Level 1 hospitals provide emergency care and treatment, general
administrative and ancillary services, primary care for prevalent diseases in the area, and clinical services
such as general medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics and non-surgical gynaecology and minor surgery. Level
2 hospitals are non-departmentalized and cater to patients who require intermediate, moderate and
partial supervised care by nurses for 24 hours or longer. These hospitals provide the same services as
Level 1 hospitals, but with the addition of surgery and anesthesia, pharmacy, first level radiology and
secondary clinical laboratory. Level 3 hospitals are organized into clinical departments and offer
intensive care, clinical services in primary care and specialty clinical care. As teaching and training
hospitals, Level 4 hospitals render clinical care and management as well as specialized and sub-
specialized forms of treatment, surgical procedures and intensive care, and are required to have at least
one accredited residency training programme for physicians
