Background on the Supreme Court Ruling on the
Mandanas-Garcia Cases
The Supreme Court Ruling on the Mandanas-Garcia cases was based on the petition
filed in court by Governor Hermilando Mandanas of Batangas, Congressman Jose
Enrique Garcia of Bataan, and other Local Government Unit (LGU) officials. The
petitioners challenged the basis for the computation of the internal revenue allotment
(IRA) under Republic Act (RA) no. 7160 or the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991.
They claimed that such computation is unconstitutional and inconsistent with Section
6 Article X of the 1987 Constitution, which stipulates that LGUs should have a just
share in the national taxes. Under the LGC, only national internal revenue taxes are
used as the basis for the computation of the LGUs’ share. Petitioners averred that
national internal revenue taxes are more restrictive than national taxes, and that it
unduly deprives LGUs of their just share.
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the petitioners. It opined that the basis for the just
share of LGUs must include all national taxes and not just national internal revenue
taxes. Therefore, the computations for IRA, now known as the National Tax Allotment
(NTA), ought to consider customs duties and other taxes. The final ruling, which was
final and executory, was issued on June 10, 2019 and shall have a prospective
application.
Expected Increase in NTA of LGUs

The total shares of the LGUs from the national taxes is expected to increase beginning
CY 2022. Based on the computation of the Department of Finance1 (DOF) from the
collected national taxes of PhP 2.8 trillion in 2019, there will be an additional PhP
234.39 billion increase in the NTA of LGUs. This is equivalent to a 27.61 percent
increase and in economic terms, representing around 1.03 percent of the Gross
Domestic Product (GDP)2.
The substantial increase in the shares of the LGUs from the national taxes will
empower the LGUs to provide basic services and facilities to their constituents and aid
them in the effective discharge of other duties and functions that were devolved to
them by Section 17 of the LGC. This basically puts the LGUs in a more critical role in
achieving the country’s development and growth targets.
In the 2022 National Expenditure Program (NEP), the NTA of LGUs amounting to PhP
959.04 billion is automatically appropriated as the LGUs’ share in the national taxes.
Further, Section 85 of the its General Provisions waives the enforcement of the
1

◼ 11 ◼
Personnel Services limitations under the LGC to enable LGUs to undertake the
following: (1) absorb the cost of hospital services transferred from provinces to newly
created cities; (2) pay the Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) incentives of their
employees; (3) pay the retirement and terminal leave benefits of their employees,
including monetization of leave credits; (4) pay the minimum year-end bonus and cash
gifts for barangay officials; (5) pay the salaries and benefits of health/medical
personnel that may be hired to perform functions related to emergency situations; (6)
pay the special benefits that may be authorized to be granted to LGU personnel during
emergency situations; (7) pay the salary differentials of LGU-hired public health
workers to fully implement the provisions of RA no. 7305 or the “Magna Carta of Public
Health Workers”; and, (8) pay the salaries and other benefits of additional personnel
that may be hired by the LGUs to implement the devolved basic services and functions,
subject to the guidelines to be issued by the Department of Budget and Management
(DBM). Of the foregoing enumeration, items (5) to (8) are significant in the effective
implementation of devolved health functions or services at the local level.
Fiscal Impact and Executive Order no. 138

In order to mitigate the fiscal impact of the Supreme Court Ruling on the Mandanas-
Garcia cases, the DBM proposed to gradually and fully re-devolve functions and
services from National Government Agencies (NGAs) to LGUs in line with Section 17
of the LGC and other pertinent laws. This measure is embodied by EO no. 138 or the
“Full Devolution of Certain Functions of the Executive Branch to Local Governments,
Creation of a Committee on Devolution, and for Other Purposes" dated June 1, 2021
and its IRR dated July 2, 2021, as well as the JMC no. 2021-2 of the DBM and
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) or the “Guidelines on the
Preparation of the Devolution Transition Plans of the NGAs concerned in support of
Full Devolution under EO no. 138, s. 2021” dated August 12, 2021.
The re-devolution of functions and services of certain programs, activities, and projects
(P/A/Ps) of NGAs to LGUs may be done in phases within a three-year transition period,
which shall be undertaken not later than the end of CY 2024, pursuant to Section 4 of
EO no. 138.
Among the key features of EO no. 138 is the Growth Equity Fund (GEF) that shall be
proposed to Congress in the 2022 NEP by the Committee on Devolution (ComDev).
The GEF aims to address issues on marginalization, unequal development, high
poverty incidence, and disparities in the net fiscal capacities of LGUs. In the Special
Provision no. 3 of the Local Government Support Fund in the 2022 NEP, PhP 10 billion
is appropriated for the financial assistance to the identified poor, disadvantaged, and
lagging LGUs for the implementation of various infrastructure projects to gradually
enable the full and efficient implementation of functions and services devolved to the
◼ 12 ◼
local government. The release of funds shall be subject to the guidelines to be issued
by the Development Budget Coordination Committee (DBCC).
DOH Devolution Transition Plan CY 2022-2024
As required by Section 6 of the DBM-DILG JMC no. 2021-2, this narrative report on
the DOH Devolution Transition Plan for CY 2022-2024 contains seven elements,
supported by their respective Annexes.

7. Organizational Effectiveness Proposal
1 – Strategic Directions / Shifts

To ensure the smooth implementation of EO no. 138, all NGAs performing devolved
functions and services of LGUs per LGC were required to develop and implement their
respective Devolution Transition Plans. Such plans shall be submitted to the DBM for
evaluation and approval on or before September 30, 2021, which is 120 calendar days
from the effectivity date of the EO. The DBM shall evaluate and approve the NGA
DTPs within 120 calendar days upon receipt of the completed DTP along with the
required narrative and annexes. Figure 1 shows the timeline in the development of the
DOH Devolution Transition Plan.
Figure 1. Timeline in the Development of the DOH Devolution Transition Plan
◼ 13 ◼
The health system of the Philippines has been in a devolved setup since 1991. This is
pursuant to Section 17 of the LGC where several functions in the delivery of basic
services and goods, including primary health services, were devolved to the LGUs.
Re-devolution does not mean downloading of funds from an NGA to LGUs. It means
re-devolution of functions performed by NGAs to LGUs based on the LGC.
In general, the basis for the re-devolution of functions of selected DOH P/A/Ps
considers LGU income classification, National Allocation Framework, capacity of
LGUs, availability of services or commodities in the local market, and implementation
of the UHC Act and other pertinent laws. DOH hospitals and other national health
facilities, attached agencies and corporations of the DOH such as the National
Nutrition Council, Philippine National AIDS Council, PhilHealth, National Kidney and
Transplant Institute, Lung Center of the Philippines, Philippine Children's Medical
Center, Philippine Heart Center, and the Philippine Institute for Traditional and
Alternative Health Care will not be affected by the re-devolution of functions from
NGAs to LGUs.
Principles for the Retention of Functions with DOH
The general principles in the retention of some functions with DOH, including its
regional offices known as the Centers for Health Development (CHDs), are based on
EO no. 102 series 1999 or “Redirecting the Functions and Operations of the
Department of Health” and the UHC Act. These DOH policies specifically reiterate the
following principles:
● The DOH is the leader in health. The DOH formulates national policies, plans,
technical standards and guidelines on health and regulates health services and
products.
● The DOH as an enabler and capacity builder. DOH provides capacity
building through training, human resources development, systems
development, and technical assistance.
● The DOH as an oversight mother agency. The DOH is also the oversight to
the corporate hospitals and attached agencies and corporations and
administrator of national and regional hospitals and medical centers and other
health facilities such as the Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Centers
(DATRCs) and blood centers.
● The DOH to finance population-based health services. The UHC Act also
mandates DOH to finance population-based3 health services in
complementation with the LGUs.
3
DOH AO no. 2020-0040 classifies health promotion as part of the population-based health services
where financing shall be coursed through the national government and support will be provided to
LGUs. While health promotion is not a re-devolved P/A/P of the DOH, LGUs are mandated to ensure
effective implementation of health promotion programs at the local level (especially in communities and
schools) through complementation of resources such as but not limited to human, technical, and
financial as provided for in the UHC Act (Sections 17 and 30).
◼ 14 ◼
Figure 2 illustrates the framework for the medium-term health agenda, which is known
as the Fourmula One (F1) Plus for Health. It reflects the DOH’s vision, mission, core
values, strategic goals, and pillars for the health sector. Referencing this framework
with the DOH Devolution Transition Plan, the DOH functions that will be re-devolved
to LGUs mainly fall under the Financing and Service Delivery pillars (highlighted in red
box for emphasis), which is consistent with the LGC; where LGUs are to assume full
responsibility and accountability in providing and financing for basic health services to
its constituents.
Figure 2. Framework for the Fourmula One (F1) Plus for Health
Likewise, Figure 3 shows the DOH Strategy Map, which will serve as the DOH’s
roadmap for attaining the goals of F1 Plus for Health. The DOH identified “focusing on
catalyzing the transformation of local health systems to Province- and City-wide Health
Systems (P/CWHS)” and “building the capacity of local health systems to deliver
individual-based and population-based health services” as the main drivers for
attaining the F1 Plus for Health goals. Our core strategic objectives to catalyze this
transformation are as follows: the development of policies and regulatory standards;
provision of capacity building and technical assistance; and, engagement with sectoral
and local stakeholders. The following support strategic objectives have been identified
as critical in the delivery of DOH’s core strategic objectives, namely: Human
Resources Management and Development; Infrastructure, Equipment, and
◼ 15 ◼
Information Technology Management; Procurement and Supply Chain Management;
Performance Management and Accountability; and, Budget Planning and Execution.
Figure 3. DOH Strategy Map 2022 and the Focus of DOH Support to LGUs in
the Devolution Transition
Applying the DOH Strategy Map to the roll-out of the Supreme Court Ruling on the
Mandanas-Garcia cases, capacity building and technical assistance (highlighted in red
for emphasis) will be the focus of DOH support to LGUs in the Devolution Transition.
Nevertheless, the DOH will continue to perform its retained inherent functions per its
mandate on policy and standards development, regulations, performance
management, and other governance functions (highlighted in green for emphasis).
Meanwhile, the management of human resources, infrastructure, equipping, and
information technology management are DOH’s support for equity or augmentation to
the LGUs. The procurement and supply chain management however, will continue to
be a shared function between the DOH and LGUs (highlighted in blue for emphasis).
◼ 16 ◼
Principles for Redevolving Functions to LGUs
The basis for re-devolving health functions to LGUs is the expenditure assignment of
health functions per level of government based on Section 17 of the LGC shown in
Table 1.
Table 1. LGU Expenditure Assignment on Health
Province Health services which include hospitals and other tertiary health
services
Municipality
● Health services which include the implementation of
programs and projects on:
○ Primary Health Care,
○ Maternal and Child Care, and
○ Communicable and Non-communicable Disease
Control Services
● Access to secondary and tertiary health services;
● Purchase of medicines, medical supplies, and equipment
● Rehabilitation programs for victims of drug abuse;
● Nutrition services and family planning services
● Clinics, health centers, and other health facilities necessary
to carry out health services
City All the services and facilities of the municipality and province,
and in addition thereto, adequate communication and
transportation facilities
Barangay Health services which include the maintenance of barangay

health facilities
The increase in the NTA of LGUs will provide them more resources and empower
them to deliver basic health services. Re-devolving certain functions of DOH,
consistent with the LGC, will strengthen local autonomy and enable LGUs to attain
their fullest development as self-reliant communities. This re-devolution also aligns
with the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act to streamline health financing mechanisms.
Minimizing duplication and overlaps in financing mechanisms will increase the
efficiency in the allocation and utilization of health resources. Moreover, it will prepare
LGUs for the implementation of province- and city-wide health systems through
ownership and accountability in the implementation of public health programs.
◼ 17 ◼
Operational Definition
As a guide, the following terms have been operationally defined in the Initial Devolution
Transition Plan of the DOH:
● Retained with DOH refers to maintaining the inherent DOH-retained functions;

● Partially Devolved refers to functions that will still be shared between the
national and local government units. For instance, a commodity may be re-
devolved to LGUs but buffer stocks for augmentation to Geographically Isolated
and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDA) will be retained at the national level;
● Gradually Devolved refers to the scheme wherein the re-devolution of
functions will be done in phases from CY 2022 to 2024; and,
● Fully Devolved refers to re-devolution of the entire function or responsibility to
the LGUs.
2 – Assignment of Functions, Services, and

Facilities to Each Level of Government
To guide LGUs in the transitory period of re-devolution, the next section discusses the
unbundling of the appropriate functions, services, and facilities that will be transferred
and assigned to each specific level of government. Further, the implementation
strategy and phasing of devolution transition activities, which are subject to the
capacity and resources of the LGUs based on the assessment of the Department, will
also be highlighted.
The DTP Annex A will provide a matrix on the unbundling of P/A/Ps and detailed
assignment of functions and services to each level of government relative to the re-
devolved P/A/Ps. The DTP Annex B, on the other hand, will outline the detailed
phasing of activities and implementation strategy of the re-devolved P/A/Ps
Table 2 provides a summary of the concerned DOH P/A/Ps for re-devolution, the
expected LGU roles, and basis for re-devolution.

Health Facilities Enhancement Program (HFEP)
The Health Facilities Enhancement Program supports the implementation of the

Universal Health Care Act through the allocation of funds for the construction of health
infrastructure and procurement of medical equipment and transport vehicles. The main
basis for re-devolution of functions is the National Allocation Framework in the
Philippine Health Facility Development Plan 2020-2040. The parameters in the
developed allocation framework include poverty incidence, resources of local
government, presence of GIDA, and the current gap in health facilities to establish
their Health Care Provider Networks.
This framework intends to provide financial support that is equitable, considering both
capacity and gaps of the individual provinces, HUCs, and ICCs towards
implementation of province/city wide health systems.

◼ 20 ◼
Beginning CY 2022, HFEP will re-devolve the functions to Category 4 (high capacity,
low gap) provinces and cities. In 2023, functions will be re-devolved to Category 2 (low
capacity, low gap) provinces and cities. Beginning CY 2024, HFEP will devolve the
funding support and procurement of health infrastructure, equipment and medical
transport to those provinces and cities belonging to Category 3 (high capacity, high
gap). To view the complete list of provinces, cities, and municipalities and the
corresponding year of devolution, visit https://tinyurl.com/LGUcategoriesNAF.

Category 1 25 2 295 Retained with DOH
Table 3B provides a summary of the number of provinces and cities that will be
affected by the gradual and partial devolution of HFEP functions based on their
capacities and gaps. Beginning CY 2022, 14 provinces and 11 cities will already
assume re-devolved HFEP functions. By CY 2023, an additional of 32 provinces will
also assume re-devolved functions to procure their own capital outlay; and, by CY
2024, an additional of 10 provinces and 21 cities will also assume the devolved
responsibility. The funding support for provinces and cities under Category 1 will still
be retained with DOH.
During these three phases, the HFEP-Management Office with the CHDs will conduct
a series of consultations with targeted LGUs through meetings, fora, and focus group
discussions (FGDs) beginning third quarter of 2021 until 2024 to level off their
expectation and strengthen its relationship and engagement. These venues will further
enable the DOH to identify the LGUs’ areas of concern or issues and discuss with
them their corresponding action plan of the Department and/or the respective LGUs.
HFEP will continue to fund projects for provinces, cities, and municipalities under
Category 1 as well as for DOH hospitals and other health facilities like Drug Abuse
Treatment and Rehabilitation Centers (DATRCs), National Reference Laboratories
(NRLs), and Blood Centers. The national policy and health facility standard
development as well as the provision of technical assistance will be retained with DOH.
Likewise, the monitoring and evaluation of projects will still be retained by DOH but
◼ 21 ◼
provinces, cities, and municipalities also need to perform these functions for their
respective projects.
Relative to the funding support and procurement of infrastructure, medical equipment,

and motor vehicles for certain facility types, Table 4 summarizes the unbundling of
HFEP functions per level of government. The Barangay Health Stations (BHS), Rural
Health Units (RHU)5, existing polyclinics, and LGU Hospitals6 under Category 1 LGUs
will be assisted by the DOH. On the other hand, the infrastructure, medical equipment.
and motor vehicles for the health facilities in the rest of the LGUs will be funded by
their respective provinces, cities or municipalities in accordance with the LGU
expenditure assignment under the LGC. However, the DOH Hospitals and other DOH
health care facilities will still be retained under DOH. Polyclinics are not officially
defined in the National Health Facility Registry, and provide services similar to health
centers and rural health units. Thus, there will be no funding support for the
construction of new polyclinics.

Human Resources for Health (HRH) Deployment
Hiring of HRH is the responsibility of LGUs under a devolved setup. LGUs should
implement the standard staffing pattern based on the functions and recommended
ratio of HRH to its population. However, in the UHC Act, there is a provision for DOH
to provide assistance to low income LGUs and GIDAs by deploying and augmenting
the health workforce needs of local public health systems and to secure positions for
hiring of health professionals and health workforce under the National Health
Workforce Support System (NHWSS). In this case, certain aspects of the HRH
Deployment program, including the budget allocation for retained cadres will be
maintained by the DOH. Moreover, the hiring of other HRH cadres under the NHWSS,
management of pre-service scholarship for priority cadre of health professionals and
in-service scholarship programs, policy development, technical assistance, capacity
building of deployed HRH, and advocacy will still be retained with the DOH in
accordance to CHED-TESDA-DOH-PRC-DOST JAO no. 2021-0001 or the
“Guidelines for Expanding Health Professional and Health Worker Scholarships and
Return Service Agreements for UHC '' dated August 11, 2021 (Refer to Table 5).
Meanwhile, the health sector capacity management or training programs, technical
assistance, and capacity building of external stakeholders at the local level shall be
devolved to LGUs following the provisions of Section 187 of the LGC.

areas for peace-building efforts, priority areas for poverty reduction, and those with
critical health workers gap. These cadres will be subject to re-devolution given the low

possibility of market failure (i.e. disequilibrium in supply and demand). Further, re-
devolving these cadres to the LGUs will promote health equity, make available
healthcare professionals at the local level, and provide accessibility of healthcare
services. The phased implementation of the re-devolved function to hire nurses and
midwives by CY 2023 will provide CHDs and LGUs ample time for their preparatory
and planning activities. Table 6 summarizes this unbundling of HRH Deployment
functions per level of government for CY 2022 onwards.

For CY 2021-2022, the Health Human Resources and Development Bureau (HHRDB)
shall focus on conducting preparatory activities prior to the gradual devolution of
functions in the succeeding fiscal year. Phase I strategies and component activities
are heavy on establishing strong communications with internal and external
stakeholders; building up the administrative and technical capacities of LGUs in
identifying HRH needs and conducting human resource activities; and developing and
recalibrating existing guidelines and tools on HRH deployment under NHWSS.
Capacity building activities initiated during Phase I shall continue until CY 2024 and
may be extended as the need arises along the course of the implementation. In Phase
II or CY 2023, the DOH, through the CHDs, shall start conducting monitoring activities
to gauge LGU performance in terms of their compliance with HRH-related policies,
including the incremental creation of HRH positions based on standards provided in
Section 24.5 of the UHC IRR, and the provision of appropriate salaries and benefits to
◼ 24 ◼
hired HRH as mandated by other laws such as the Magna Carta of Public Health
Workers. The partial devolution of the same cadres and conduct of monitoring
activities shall be continuously implemented in CY 2024.
Epidemiology and Surveillance
The basis for hiring of Disease Surveillance Officers (DSOs), formerly known as the
Public Health Associates under the Epidemiology and Surveillance line item, is Rule
VII Section 2 of the 2020 IRR of RA no. 11332 or the “Mandatory Reporting of
Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act,” which provides:
● As a minimum requirement, each Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit (ESU)
shall have at least one (1) DSO duly trained on applied/field epidemiology,
surveillance and response; and one (1) epidemiology assistant of an allied
health profession;
● Moreover, the human resource complement will support the implementation of
the population-based health services under Section 17 of the UHC Act to
ensure an accurate, sensitive and timely epidemiologic, surveillance systems;
and,
● The budget requirements for the operations of ESUs shall be drawn from the
annual budget of their respective mother offices.
Since the budget to cover all DSOs nationwide was not approved in the 2022 NEP,
the devolution of DSOs to all LGUs will begin in 2022 but DOH will consistently retain
funding of DSOs under the DOH Central Office, CHDs, and Provincial DOH Offices.
DSOs deployed in the regions are to be funded by CHD-Regional Epidemiology and
Surveillance Units (RESUs). Table 7 shows the unbundling of functions per level of
government for the Hiring of DSOs.

For Phase I of the implementation strategy, the Epidemiology Bureau (EB) with the
CHDs, aims to conduct baseline consultations with LGUs to level off their expectations
and inform them of the functions and services to be devolved. It will also resolve
concerns or issues on the LGU's assessment results and gap analysis through the
ESU Readiness/Preparedness Assessment and Monitoring Tool, which is scheduled
to be implemented by the third quarter of 2021 until 2022. Further, EB shall provide
capacity building and technical assistance to LGUs in undertaking devolved functions
on epidemiology, disease surveillance, and response (including contact tracing) by the
fourth quarter of 2021. This will enable the LGUs to provide appropriate and timely
epidemiologic response to disease outbreaks and health events of public health
concern.
For Phases II and III of the implementation strategy to be implemented in 2023 to

2024, there will be follow-through consultations and updating of the capacities of
LGUs. As part of its legal mandate, EB in coordination with the Regional Epidemiology
and Surveillance Unit (RESU), shall strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of
success indicators and provide continuous capacity development and technical
assistance to stakeholders even beyond the transition period of devolution.
The main basis for retention and re-devolution of public health commodities are
summarized in Table 8. Retained with DOH means provision of funding support either
as financial grants or non-financial assistance. For in-kind commodities procured at
the DOH Central Office, the Department will be responsible for its logistics and supply
chain management; while, the implementation and distribution to its target population
will still be with the LGUs. Meanwhile, the re-devolved functions of LGUs must also
include, aside from procurement, the warehousing, storage, and distribution of
commodities to component LGUs and its target population. A price negotiation
mechanism shall be established to facilitate more efficient procurement of select DOH
retained commodities, particularly those that are high cost and/or are single source.
Financing for re-devolved functions, services, and facilities shall either be financed
through the NTA or PhilHealth (i.e.for those with benefit packages).
The commodities that will not be affected by the redevolution of functions and retained
by the DOH are those for procurement by the Health Emergency Management Bureau
as augmentation during disasters and outbreaks.

In terms of the proposed timeline, Table 9 summarizes the phasing of key activities of
the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau in the redevolution of public health
commodities. For this year, the DOH has conducted the mapping or assessment of
readiness of CHDs and LGUs in terms of local suppliers, supply chain and staff
competence or the training needs assessment. The results of the assessments shall
then dictate the capacity building activities that will be provided to concerned levels of
government to enable them to perform their functions properly.
By 2022, it is expected that the DOH Central Office will stop the procurement of re-
devolved individual-based commodities with existing PhilHealth financing, provided
there are local markets and supply chain readiness. DOH including its CHDs shall
continue to procure individual-based commodities without PhilHealth financing.
Absent local markets and supply chain readiness on either the CHD or LGU level,
such commodities shall remain with the DOH Central Office.
By 2023, the LGUs shall procure commodities for both individual- and population-
based health services for fully devolved functions. The DOH and CHDs shall procure
some devolved functions especially those with high cost or with economies of scale.
The CHDs shall continue its function to monitor and provide technical assistance to
the LGUs.
By 2024, LGUs are expected to procure individual- and population-health services for
fully devolved functions. DOH and CHDs will then continue monitoring and providing
technical assistance to LGUs.

3 – Service Delivery Standards
The formulation of health service delivery standards is among the inherent functions
of the DOH. Likewise, Sections 4 and 5 of EO no. 138 mandates that: (1) local
government shall primarily be responsible for all basic services and facilities fully
devolved to them in accordance with the standards for service delivery prescribed by
the national government; and, (2) that the national government DTPs shall include the
standards for the delivery of devolved services. Said service delivery standards are
the quantitative or qualitative description of the expected level of performance that
end-users expect in the delivery of the service, including its technical and non-
technical specifications to ensure uniformity and consistency of results.
EO no. 138 emphasized the objective of devolution is to ensure that the LGUs abide
by common standards set by the national government in the delivery of services.
Nevertheless, the underlying processes may be improved by the LGUs over time
depending on their capacities and innovativeness. The compilation of Service Delivery
Standards for re-devolved health functions can be accessed via
https://www.tinyurl.com/DOHDevolutionStandards.
The DTP Annex C-1 provides the registry of service standards for the delivery of
devolved health functions and services. Meanwhile, the DTP Annex C-2 details the
recommended organization structure and staffing complement for LGU health offices.

Devolved HFEP projects to LGUs must be aligned with the goals of the PHFDP to
close the gaps of specific health facilities. The LGC mandates all barangays to have
at least one BHS. The HFEP target ratio for primary care facilities (PCF), i.e. RHUs or
health centers (HC), is one PCF per 20,000 population. Moreover, to meet the health
needs of the population, the current supply of hospital beds must increase from 1.2 to
2.7 beds per 1,000 population by 2040. To ensure access to quality health care, the
following need for health facilities and equipment shall be determined through the
formula and assumptions in Table 11 as stipulated in the PHFDP. The available supply
of primary care facilities and hospital beds from the private sector should also be
considered by the LGUs.

Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement and Organizational

Structure of Public Health Facilities and Health Offices in LGUs
Aside from the service delivery standards, DOH also provided in DTP Annex C-2 its
minimum recommendations for staffing complement for health facilities and health
offices as reference for LGUs in implementing the incremental creation of permanent
positions, as provided in the UHC Act. The LGUs are highly encouraged to adopt these
minimum recommendations to support the integration of local health systems into
Province-wide and City-wide Health Systems aligned with the UHC Act. Based on
varying capacities, needs, and innovativeness of LGUs, they may opt to adopt a
staffing complement above the minimum recommendations proposed in DTP Annex
C-2.
Section 18 of the LGC mandates that the LGUs shall have the power and authority to
establish an organization that shall be responsible for the efficient and effective
implementation of their development plans, program objectives and priorities. Further,
Section 77 of the same law provides that the chief executive of every local government
unit shall be responsible for human resources and development and take all personnel
actions in accordance with the constitutional provisions on civil service, pertinent laws,
and rules and regulations thereon, including such policies, guidelines and standards
as the Civil Service Commission may establish. Thus, the implementation of all staffing
actions necessary to fulfill LGU mandates and to perform functions devolved to them
is within their power and authority.
The recommended organizational structures of LGU health facilities were guided by
AO no. 2021-0021 or the “Guidelines on Integration of the Local Health Systems into
Province-wide and City-wide Health Systems.” Their functions were based on the
◼ 41 ◼
health facility standards and core functions and services indicated in the DC no. 2020-
0176 or the “Circulation of the Manual of Standards for Primary Care Facilities”. The
staffing proposals were also guided by the DBM-CSC Government Rationalization
Program Organization and Staffing Standards and Guidelines.
The minimum recommendations for staffing complement of LGU health facilities apply
to the provincial, city, and municipal level, which are summarized as follows:
1. Provincial Health Office (PHO)
a. PHO staff and administrative unit
b. Health Service Delivery Division
c. Health Systems Support Division
2. City Health Office (CHO) in Highly Urbanized Cities / Independent Component
Cities
a. CHO staff and administrative unit
b. Health Service Delivery Division
c. Health Systems Support Division
d. Urban Health Centers
3. City / Municipal Health Office (MHO) in Component Cities / Municipalities
a. City/Municipal Health Office in Component Cities or Municipalities
(CHO/MHO as one and the same with Urban Health Center/Rural
Health Unit)
b. City/Municipal Health Office in Component Cities or Municipalities
(CHO/MHO has several Urban Health Centers/Rural Health Units and
hospital/s owned and managed by the component LGU)
The functions or tasks of the recommended positions detailed in DTP Annex C-2 were
matched using the Index of Occupational Services, Occupational Groups, Classes,
and Salary Grades (IOS) for the National Government to determine the appropriate
position title. The DOH also recommended generic over specialist positions for more
flexibility in the hiring of LGUs.
In the Manual of Standards for Primary Care Facilities, staffing standards for primary
care health facilities is based on the following health worker to population ratio, as
reflected in the National Objectives for Health (NOH) 2017-2022 pending the results
of the Workload Indicators of Staffing Needs (WISN) study:
● One (1) Urban Health Center/Rural Health Unit physician per 20,000
population;
● One (1) public health nurse per 10,000 population;
● One (1) public health midwife per 5,000 population;
● One (1) public health dentist per 50,000 population; and,
● One (1) sanitation inspector per 20,000 population.
The enumerated ratios shall be implemented and monitored at urban health centers
or RHUs. These primary care facilities shall be led by a C/MHO who is responsible for
◼ 42 ◼
formulating and implementing the health programs in the whole city or municipality.
The C/MHO also supervises, coordinates, and monitors the operations of the Urban
Health Center/RHU (UHC/RHU). Under the C/MHO is the Rural Health Physician who
takes charge of a small medical team assigned in the RHU and renders preventive
and medical services in at least one (1) barangay.
As the lead in the Primary Care Provider Network (PCPN), urban health centers or
RHUs are expected to provide primary health care services to LGUs through its
functional units – the Health Service Delivery Unit (HSDU) and the Health System
Support Unit (HSSU). The HSDU is responsible for providing population and
individual-based health services and for coordinating/ navigating referrals to other
service providers within the Health Care Provider Network (HCPN). On the other hand,
HSSU is responsible for rendering administrative services such as management of
logistics, equipment, and facilities as well as management of health data and records
in the UHC/RHU.
Another subunit of the UHC/RHU is the Health Station, like the Barangay Health
Station. Health stations are responsible for augmenting UHC/RHU in the provision of
population-based health services and coordinating patient transport to the appropriate
referral facility, when necessary. The health station is recommended to have one (1)
nurse, one (1) midwife, one (1) BHW per 20 households, one (1) BNS per barangay,
administrative assistant, utility worker, and the emergency transport driver. The rural
health physician, dentist or dental hygienist, medical technologist or laboratory aide,
and sanitation inspector from the UHC/RHU shall rotate on scheduled visits to the
Health Stations.
The adoption of the minimum recommendations in DTP Annex C-2 is recommended

to be implemented in phases to allow LGUs more flexibility in planning for the gradual
preparation of budget and resource requirements. The recommended phases may be
guided by the “rubrics method” as shown in Table 13, whereas each position is rated
according to proposed prioritization of the Department (Table 14).
Table 13. Rubrics for Identifying Priority Positions in the DOH DTP Annex C-2

LGC.
4 – NGA Capacity Development Strategy

For the Department to be able to perform effectively and efficiently their inherent and
steering functions, including monitoring and evaluation, the concerned national
programs of the DOH have identified various capacity development strategies and
interventions needed to strengthen their roles. DTP Annex D discussed this in detail.
In order to perform the steering functions, national monitoring and evaluation

functions, and provision of technical assistance to LGUs, some of the capacities
required at the Central Office are the following: policy research and evaluation;
development and updating of service delivery standards; systems thinking; strategic
communications; and, stakeholder management. Currently, the practices being done
by the HFEP Management Office include provision of training and competency
profiling. There are still gaps in policy evaluation and cascading of service delivery
standards at present. In order to address this, there are scheduled capacity
development activities on the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2021 which comprise training on
monitoring, evaluation, and strategic communications; coaching; and, mentoring
sessions.
Meanwhile, the capacities required by the CHDs include the following: training
management; monitoring and evaluation; risk management; and, stakeholder
management. The current systems in place at the regional level are the provision of
training, competency profiling, and monitoring and evaluation systems. However, there
are capacity gaps in database management and development of training designs at
their level. Thus, the strategy aims to improve database management, data analytics,
and capacity development designing during the third and fourth quarter of CY 2021.
There will also be coachings and mentorings that will be conducted.
Both activities at the DOH Central Office and CHDs will be done in coordination and
partnership with HHRDB, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), other
agencies, and services providers.
Human Resources for Health (HRH)

The capacity development strategies of the DOH, as spearheaded by the HHRDB and
the Human Resource Development Units of CHDs, start with a baseline assessment
and gaps analysis of the current competencies. These gaps are addressed through
appropriate learning and development interventions (LDI) for each DOH personnel.
◼ 45 ◼
Priority competency gaps shall be translated into an Annual Learning and
Development Plan, which shall be the basis of attendance to LDIs of DOH Staff.
For the primary care facilities (service delivery units of the Rural Health Units or Health
Centers), the Primary Care Worker Assessment tool shall be used to assess the
needed competencies to deliver primary care services.
AO No. 2021-0007 dated January 12, 2021 governs the implementation of the
Learning and Development Management System. Achievement of the progress
indicators can be verified through the Learning and Development Plans and
consolidated training reports, including review and clearance of LDIs.
In the context of full devolution of health services, DOH also launched an online UHC
Implementers’ Course at learn.doh.gov.ph with asynchronous and synchronous
sessions for the DOH Central Office and CHDs last April 2021 for twelve different
modules based on the UHC IRR and its various operational guidelines. The pilot
conduct of the modules are ongoing and will conclude by the end of 2021. These
modules will soon be available online to all health workers nationwide. Further, there
are two batches of DOH managers who were granted with scholarships for the Masters
in Public Management - Health Governance in 2021.

For the DOH-Epidemiology Bureau, DOH-CHDs at the regional level, and Provincial
DOH Offices, the following capacities are required:
● Training of Trainers on International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision
(ICD-11); Smart Verbal Autopsy;
● Completion of Field Epidemiology Training Program;
● Training of Trainers on Case-based Surveillance (training modules, orientation,
core processes, web application and software, data management and report
generation, monitoring and evaluation);
● Training of Trainers on Event-based Surveillance and Response (training
modules, orientation, core processes, reporting forms, data management and
report generation, monitoring and evaluation); and,
● International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005 Orientation; IHR Annex 2.
Current practices include provision of training, competency profiling, monitoring and

systems, and ensuring RESU functionality. Additional capacities required for regional
and provincial DOH counterparts include the following: training management;
monitoring and evaluation; database management; data analysis; and, statistical
report generation.
◼ 46 ◼
In terms of capacity gaps, the following are identified at the central, regional, and
provincial DOH offices for improvement:
● Systematic recording, reporting, analysis, interpretation, and comparison of
mortality and morbidity data;
● Accurate and reliable cause of deaths specifically for out-of-facility (community)
deaths;
● Technical skills on epidemiology;
● Early detection and notification, registration, reporting, monitoring of status of
health events laboratory testing and confirmation, data management, analysis
and report generation, feedback, epidemic response, and monitoring and
evaluation; and,
● Training management, monitoring and evaluation, database management, data
analysis and statistical report generation.
In addition, there are also gaps in strategic communication and stakeholder

management identified at all levels. To address these gaps, various activities such as
attendance to LDIs, completion of training programs, technical assistance, monitoring
and evaluation, coaching, and mentoring on capacity gaps will be done by CY 2022 in
phases beginning at the DOH Central Office level to the provincial DOH offices. The
completion of training programs is expected to continue from CY 2022 onwards. These
activities will be facilitated by the various divisions in the EB namely: Applied
Epidemiology Health Management Division; Public Health Surveillance Division;
Surveys; Monitoring and Evaluation Division; the Field Health Services Information
System (FHSIS) Team; and, Regional and Provincial Coordinators.

With the transition of certain functions to the LGUs relative to public health
commodities, DOH shall continue to be the lead agency to provide evidence-based
guidelines and standards. Also, it shall lead in the health promotion and monitoring
activities. To efficiently perform these, DOH shall strengthen its capacity in fulfilling its
retained functions by undertaking capacity development activities on forecasting,
quantifications, cold chain, and logistics management.
The DPCB Systems Integration - Capacity Building Unit shall take the lead in
coordinating with HHRDB and other concerned offices and agencies for the planning
and implementation of these capacity building targets.
Cross-cutting Capacity Development for DOH
Other capacity development strategies and interventions needed by the DOH in

strengthening its inherent functions are cross-cutting in nature. All re-devolved P/A/Ps
will also benefit from these topics in improving their steering and monitoring functions.
These training include but not limited to the following:
◼ 47 ◼
● Training on policy evaluation, standards integration, and health systems
thinking;
● Training on strategic communication and stakeholder management;
● Training on database management and analytics;
● Training on capacity development design;
● Training on planning, monitoring, and evaluation;
● Training on technical assistance provision, negotiation, contract management,
program management;
● Training on Public Financial Management, Public Expenditure Management;
● Training on Impact Evaluation of Program Interventions; and,
● Training on Futures Thinking and Scenario Building.
5 – LGU Capacity Development Strategy
To ensure the timely and seamless handover of the functions to the LGUs, devolution
will be done in phases in the next three years beginning 2022. During this transitory
period, various activities will be done by the DOH that will enable LGUs to fully absorb
and manage the devolved functions and services by 2024.
Table 15 summarizes the capacity building initiatives of DOH for LGUs in the context
of full devolution of health services. The first column shows the different target
participants ranging from the PHO, CHO, MHO, Local Chief Executives (LCE), and
Local Health Board Members, Primary Care Team, Health System Managers, and

The Capacity Development Strategies for the LGUs relative to the hiring of HRH mainly
focus on three activities: (1) conduct of baseline assessment, gaps analysis, and
investment needs for HRH; (2) integration of P/CWHS HRH plan to Local Investment
Plan for Health (LIPH); and, (3) certification of primary care workers.
The national government through the various offices under the DOH Central Office
and the CHDs shall gradually cascade orientations and trainings, and enjoin
engagements of LGUs in the following: development of the National Health Workforce
Registry (NHWR); facility-based staffing requirement using Workload Indicators for
Staffing Need (WISN); competency-based Learning and Development Management
System; localization of the HRH Master Plan strategies and integration into the LIPH;
and, primary care certification. Respective success indicators are set for each
program.
With the capacity development strategies, the LGUs shall be able to present verifiable
proofs or means of verification (MOV) to assess the success of each indicator. These
shall include the following: an updated system-generated HRH facility registry report;
updated facility-based report on HRH distribution and staffing pattern matrix; learning
and development plans developed based on Learning and Development Needs
Assessment (LDNAs); Executive Order or Province/City/Municipal resolution on
installing the Human Resource Management and Development System; and, updated
system-generated primary care worker list.
For this devolved function, the Central Office and CHDs shall conduct the following
activities to capacitate local health offices, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities at
the provincial, city, municipal, and barangay level. The Epidemiology Bureau and
CHD-RESUs shall be responsible for the provision of technical assistance and
capacity development activities to LGUs.

During the third quarter of 2021, DPCB conducted several online consultations with
CHDs and LGUs in order to assess their procurement and supply chain readiness,
and staff competence. Further, mapping of local suppliers has been done through key
persons in the CHDs. Results of these preliminary activities aided the DPCB to plan
the capacity building activities that will be provided to concerned levels of government.
The DPCB shall develop its own training programs on quantification or forecasting of
public health commodities, particularly utilizing the LGU investment calculator and
following the National Allocation Framework. This training will be delivered primarily
through the DOH Academy, rolled out from the third quarter to fourth quarter of 2021
and continuously be made available thereafter.
Parallel to the transition of devolved commodities from the DOH to LGUs, procurement
and supply chain management reforms should be implemented to ensure
sustainability. These include the following: establishment of a pooled procurement
mechanism and framework contracting; issuance of standards for distribution
pathways and warehousing for commodities; and, procurement of electronic Logistics
Management Information System (eLMIS).
Moreover, the DPCB shall work together with PhilHealth in developing an explicit
expansion plan for service inclusions to the Comprehensive Outpatient Benefit
Package (COPB) as priority, and other relevant inpatient or special benefits, to go
hand in hand with the devolution, transitioning commodities, and other functions in
accordance with the UHC Act. Lastly, the DOH Central Office and CHDs shall continue
to monitor and provide technical assistance to LGUs not only for re-devolved functions
but for all health programs.

6 – Performance Monitoring and Assessment
Framework
One of the inherent functions of the DOH is monitoring and evaluation. To assess the
performance of the LGUs in the delivery of the devolved functions and services, DOH
units come up with their performance monitoring and assessment framework, which is
discussed in the succeeding sections.
The DTP Annex F provides detailed information on systems and mechanisms of the
Department, whether existing or new, in monitoring and evaluating the performance
of LGUs in the delivery of devolved functions.
For the devolved functions, targeted LGUs shall be monitored and evaluated once a
month based on these two performance indicators: (1) percentage of implemented
projects funded within the fiscal year; and, (2) percentage of completed projects
funded within the fiscal year. These indicators are useful for LGUs that DOH will still
support.
For monitoring and evaluation purposes of HFEP projects re-devolved to the LGUs,
the following output indicators in the PHFDP should be monitored:
● BHS to barangay ratio;
● Number of provinces/cities with PCF accessible within 30 minutes for 80 percent
of the population out of the total number of provinces;
● Percent of PCF established out of the total number of gaps;
● Bed to population ratio;
● Number of provinces/cities with hospitals accessible within 1 hour;
● Percent of L1 hospital beds established;
● Percent of L2 hospital beds established; and,
● Percent of L3 hospital beds established.
In order to strengthen its monitoring and evaluation functions, one strategy of HFEP
includes enhancement of its existing monitoring and evaluation systems (Physical and
Financial Real-time Reporting System) to cover performance indicators for devolved
services. Further, it aims to advocate for the completion of the staffing complement or
fill the vacant positions in CHD field offices to strengthen direct coordination and
monitoring of LGUs.
◼ 52 ◼
The performance of LGUs on the devolved functions shall be monitored and evaluated
through the Monitoring and Performance Assessment on HRH planning, hiring of
adequate HRH or creation of positions, and Learning and Development Management
System (LDMS). Performance indicators for respective programs are set from baseline
existing data and mechanisms. The integration of the HRH plan into the Local
Investment Plan for Health (LIPH) and adequacy of HRH and positions shall be
monitored annually. Meanwhile, the training of staff on Learning Development
Management and creation of LGU competency-based Learning Development Plan for
HRH shall be monitored semi-annually.
Currently, there are existing performance evaluation systems or mechanisms being

used such as the Local Health Systems Maturity Level Monitoring Tool, Local
Government Unit Health Scorecard (LGU HSC), HRH Deployment Program
Assessment Tool, and other HRH distribution monitoring mechanisms, and Levels I to
III evaluations for the LDMS. As part of the NGA monitoring and performance
evaluation strategies, activities such as the establishment of baseline data
assessment, development of comprehensive assessment tools in data collection,
institutionalization of Monitoring and Performance Framework through an approved
policy, and designation of personnel or unit to conduct regular monitoring shall be
implemented.
For the devolved function of hiring DSOs, the performance indicator that will be
monitored is the percentage increase in the number of those who will be hired and
engaged, which will be done bi-annually. Other performance indicators relative to the
devolved functions in the existing integrated monitoring and evaluation systems of the
Epidemiology Bureau, which is for updating, are as follows:
● For the FHSIS, two indicators namely: (1) percentage increase in the number
of LGUs reporting through Electronic Medical Records reflected in FHSIS
monthly monitored monthly; and (2) percentage increase in the number of
LGUs with timely and complete data reports monitored either monthly or
quarterly. The Province, City, and Municipal ESUs shall also monitor this
indicator.
● For the Case-based Surveillance, two indicators namely: (1) percentage
increase in the number of ESUs reporting through the Case-based Surveillance
Online Software; and (2) percentage increase in the number of ESUs with
timely and complete data reports. These will be monitored on a monthly basis.
The Province, City, Municipality, and Hospitals ESUs shall monitor this
indicator.
● For the Event-based Surveillance and Response, three indicators namely: (1)
percentage increase in the number of ESUs capturing and reporting health
◼ 53 ◼
events; (2) percentage increase in the number of health events timely captured,
verified and reported to higher ESU and concerned stakeholders; and, (3)
percentage increase in the number of health events monitored and closed.
These indicators will be monitored monthly by EB and the CHDs.
● For the FETP, the provincial, city, and municipal ESUs will monitor the indicator
annually - percentage of province/city/municipalities with DSOs who have
completed basic and intermediate epidemiology courses.
These performance indicators are planned to be included in the enhancement of the

existing integrated monitoring and evaluation systems and integration of established
incentive schemes like the Seal of Good Governance. Moreover, the staffing
complement or vacant positions in the DOH Central Office and CHD-RESUs shall be
filled up in order to strengthen direct coordination and monitoring of all ESUs through
regular Program Implementation Reviews.
For devolved functions under public health commodities, the matrix on monitoring and
performance assessment of the LGUs in undertaking the devolved functions provided
in DTP Annex F provides the existing performance evaluation mechanism of the DOH.
It contains the detailed information on the assessed services that will serve as the
baseline data for the LGUs in determining which services need improvements. The
performance indicators are as follows:
● Percent of Demand for Family Planning Served with Modern Methods or the
use of modern contraceptives among women of reproductive age (WRA);
● Proportion of infants 6-11 months and children 12-23 months old who
completed Micronutrient Powder supplementation, pregnant women given
complete Iron + Folic Acid, and those who completed doses of calcium
carbonate supplementation;
● Proportion of pneumonia cases among children 0-59 months old who received
treatment and were given Amoxicillin Drops or Suspension;
● Number of patients provided with treatment for STI, number of at-risk population
tested for Hepatitis B and C infections, and screened for HIV;
● Proportion of population who completed two (2) doses of deworming tablet
(disaggregated per age group: Pre-School Age Children (PSAC), School Age
Children (SAC), adolescent and WRA and pregnant women who completed one
dose of deworming tablet; and,
● Proportion of hypertensive patients provided with anti-hypertensive drugs and
diabetic patients provided with diabetes medications.

7 – Organizational Effectiveness Proposal (OEP)
Given that the public health sector is already in a devolved set-up since 1991, existing
permanent positions in the DOH will not be affected by the re-devolution efforts. These
personnel will still execute the inherent functions and services of the Department.
Nevertheless, the DOH shall propose to DBM a recommended organizational structure
and counterpart staffing complement for LGUs in light of the re-devolved services.
Hence, DTP Annexes G-1 to G-3 are not applicable since there will be no
modifications in the organizational structure, staffing complement, and number of
personnel of DOH relative to the re-devolution measure.
Modifications in the resource allocation of affected P/A/Ps for CY 2022 are reflected
in DTP Annex G-4. However, in terms of budget reduction due to re-devolution, DOH
wants to emphasize that re-devolution does not necessarily mean downloading of
funds from NGAs to LGUs but re-devolution of functions performed by NGAs to LGUs
based on the Local Government Code LGC. There is no significant decrease in the
total budget of the DOH due to devolution given that it is offset by increases in other
priority budget line items which are still retained with DOH. Among its budget priorities
for CY 2022 are those activities related to UHC Act implementation, COVID-19
Initiatives, health system resilience, assistance to LGUs for the full devolution,
implementation of other health-related laws, and those with urgent and compelling
need.

Notes:
General Strategy: Gradual and partial devolution of the Human
Resource for Health (HRH) Deployment line item
Specific Strategies:
1. Devolution of the hiring and recruitment of specific cadres (nurses

and midwives) to LGUs on the basis of equity, availability, and
accessibility, among other factors
2. Phased implementation allowing for planning and preparatory

activities
3. Continuous supervision and monitoring of to-be devolved functions

towards achievement of HRH standards and other HRH-related UHC
commitments (e.g., incremental creation of positions at the local
level)
Beginning CY 2023, the hiring of nurses and midwives in 1st to 4th

class municipalities will be devolved to LGUs except in GIDAs, target
areas for peace-building efforts, priority areas for poverty reduction
and those with critical health workers gap. These cadres will be
subject for devolution given the low possibility of market failure

health threats through the efficient and effective disease surveillance

of notifiable diseases including emerging and reemerging infectious
diseases, diseases for elimination and eradication, epidemics, and
health events including chemical, biological, radioactive, nuclear and
environmental agents of public health concern and provide an
effective response system in compliance with the 2005 International
Health Regulations (IHR) of the World Health Organization (WHO),
and its amendments.
The State recognizes epidemics and other public health emergencies

as threats to public health and national security, which can undermine
the social, economic, and political functions of the State.
The State also recognizes disease surveillance and response systems

of the DOH and its local counterparts as the first line of defense to
epidemics and health events of public health concern that pose risk
to public health and security.
In view therefor, the RA no. 11332, or the Mandatory Reporting of

Notifiable Diseases and Health Events of Public Health Concern Act,
was enacted to primarily protect the State from diseases and health
events of public health concern through the implementation of
epidemiology and surveillance PPAs at all levels.
Moreover, RA no. 11223, or the Universal Health Care Act, stipulates

the generation of population-based disease surveillance.
Therefore, as surveillance information needs are heightened,

additional human resource requirements shall also be complemented
to establish and maintain disease surveillance systems. The Regional
Epidemiology and Surveillance Units (RESUs) (i.e., Centers for Health
Development and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim

I. Introduction
Pursuant to the Republic Act (RA) No. 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991 1,
through the Executive Order (EO) No. 138 series of 20212, all departments, agencies,
and instrumentalities of the Executive Branch, including the Department of Health
(DOH), are mandated to implement full devolution of certain functions to Local
Governments. This aims to (i) develop capabilities of local governments to deliver basic
social services and critical facilities to their constituents, increase productivity and
employment, and promote local economic growth; and (ii) ensure accountability,
competence, professionalism and transparency of local leaders through the
development of institutional systems that uphold good governance and strengthen their
capabilities for managing public resources.
In compliance with these, the DOH developed a Devolution Transition Plan (DTP)
wherein identified programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) will be devolved to the
Local Government Units (LGUs) following a certain timeline. The LGUs shall then be
responsible in ensuring availability of funds and resources for the sustainability of the
devolved PPAs. This includes provision of adequate health infrastructure along with
appropriate staffing complement.
The DTP is anchored on the existing mandates of LGUs provided under the Local
Government Code of 1991. Specifically, it states under Section 18 that LGUs shall have
the power and authority to establish an organization that shall be responsible for the
efficient and effective implementation of their development plans, program objectives
and priorities. Further, Section 77 of the same law provides that the chief executive of
every local government unit shall be responsible for human resources and development
in his unit and shall take all personnel actions in accordance with the Constitutional
provisions on civil service, pertinent laws, and rules and regulations thereon, including
such policies, guidelines and standards as the Civil Service Commission may establish.
Thus, the implementation of all staffing actions necessary to fulfill LGU mandates and
to perform functions devolved to them is within their power and authority.

This document intends to provide DOH’s guidance to LGUs on the minimum
recommended staffing complement for LGU health facilities and health offices.
This can be used as reference as LGUs implement incremental creation of permanent
positions as provided in the RA No. 11223 or the Universal Health Care Act. The LGUs
are highly encouraged to adopt these minimum recommendations to support the
integration of local health systems into Province-wide and City-wide Health Systems
aligned with the UHC Act.
II. Considerations in Developing the Recommended Organizational Structure and

Staffing Complement for Health Facilities in LGUs
The Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities

and Health Offices in Local Government Units (Annex C2 of the DOH DTP) is a
collaborative effort of the DOH Technical Working Group (TWG) in DTP. Main
contributors in this document are the Bureau of Local Health Systems Development
(BLHSD), the Health Facilities Development Bureau (HFDB), and the Health Human
Resource Development Bureau (HHRDB).
Led by the BLHSD, the recommended organizational structures of LGU health

facilities were developed through Administrative Order (AO) No. 2021-0021
“Guidelines on Integration of the Local Health Systems into Province-wide and City-
wide Health Systems (P/CWHS)”3. In these organizational structures,
components/units were given specific functions to facilitate the integration of local
health systems into Province-wide and City-wide Health Systems. The HFDB then
presided over the analysis of these functions to develop health facility standards and
core functions and services indicated in the Department Circular No. 2020-0176
“Circulation of the Manual of Standards for Primary Care Facilities”4.

Using the health facility standards and core functions and services, bureaus and offices
in the DOH Central Offices were requested to propose their recommended standard for
staffing complement in LGU health facilities in accordance with the functions and
services they plan to devolve. Submitted proposals were consolidated and analyzed by
the HHRDB to come up with the minimum recommendations for staffing
complement of public health facilities and health offices in LGUs, as indicated in
this document.
Other considerations include:

1. HHRDB shall provide observations and/or comments for HRH-related
positions, in particular.
2. Technical offices/ experts shall provide comments on their respective areas of

expertise.
3. Recommend to seek guidance from the Personnel Administration Division of
the Administrative Services (AS-PAD), especially for non-health positions.
4. Evaluation of staffing proposals shall be guided by the DBM-CSC Government
Rationalization Program Organization and Staffing Standards and Guidelines,
to wit:
a. Identification of functions (core and non-core) that could be effectively
outsourced/contracted out; provided that accountability mechanisms are
in place.
b. Use of the following guides in the Staffing of an Organization:
i. Reduce functions/programs into activities/tasks to identify
staffing requirements.
ii. Determine skills/competencies required to perform the
functions/activities/tasks.
iii. Match activities/tasks with positions in the Index of
Occupational Services, Occupational Groups, Classes, and
Salary Grades (IOS) 5 for the National Government to
determine the appropriate position title.

Classes, and Salary Grades (IOS 2021)

iv. Apart from the unit head, allow a higher level of position of the
same type or senior level positions and provide at least one
entrance level position.
v. Observe an optimal ratio between technical and administrative
positions. Limit the provision of assistants, as much as
possible.
c. Alignment with the IOS for the National Government in all staffing
modifications involving reclassification, conversion, and creation of
positions.
d. Recommended Organizational Structure and Core Functions and
Services of each unit preference should be given to generic over
specialist positions, for flexibility.
e. Determine the number of positions required based on workload.

B. Health Facility Staffing Standards
The minimum recommendations for staffing complement of LGU health facilities were
developed based on standards and core functions and services of health facilities as
indicated in the Department Circular No. 2020-0176 “Circulation of the Manual of
Standards for Primary Care Facilities”.
In the Manual of Standards for Primary Care Facilities, staffing standards for primary
care health facilities is based on the following health worker to population ratio, as
reflected in the National Objectives for Health (NOH) 2017-2022 pending the results
of the Workload Indicators of Staffing Needs (WISN) study:
One (1) Urban Health Center/Rural Health Unit physician per 20,000 population
One (1) public health nurse per 10,000 population
One (1) public health midwife per 5,000 population
One (1) public health dentist per 50,000 population
One (1) sanitation inspector per 20,000 population
The enumerated ratios shall be implemented and monitored at urban health centers or
rural health units. These primary care facilities shall be led by a City or Municipal
Health Officer (C/MHO) who is responsible for formulating and implementing the
health programs in the whole city or municipality. The C/MHO also supervises,
coordinates, and monitors the operations of the UHC/RHU. Under the C/MHO is the
Rural Health Physician who takes charge of a small medical team assigned in the RHU
and renders preventive and medical services in at least one (1) barangay.
As the lead in the Primary Care Provider Network (PCPN), urban health centers or rural
health units are expected to provide primary health care services to LGUs through its
functional units – the Health Service Delivery Unit (HSDU) and the Health System
Support Unit (HSSU). The HSDU is responsible for providing population and
individual-based health services and for coordinating/ navigating referrals to other
service providers within the Health Care Provider Network (HCPN). On the other hand,
HSSU is responsible for rendering administrative services such as management of
27
logistics, equipment, and facilities as well as management of health data and records in
the UHC/RHU.
Another sub-unit of the UHC/RHU is the Health Station, such as a Barangay Health
Station. Health stations are responsible for augmenting UHC/RHU in the provision of
population-based health services and coordinating patient transport to the appropriate
referral facility, when necessary. The health station shall be composed of one (1) nurse,
one (1) midwife, one (1) BHW per 20 households, one (1) BNS per barangay,
administrative assistant, utility worker, and the emergency transport driver. The rural
health physician, dentist or dental hygienist, medical technologist or laboratory aide,
and sanitation inspector from the UHC/RHU shall rotate on scheduled visits to the
Health Stations.

which the LGU stakeholders participate (e.g., disaster management teams)
[2] and Indicates the position and corresponding salary grade, consistent with the latest Index of Occupational Services, Occupational Groups, Classes and Salary Grades
[3] issued or to be issued by the DBM
[4] States the eligibilities (e.g., years of work experience, educational attainment, certification/licensure) required to qualify for the position, as well as the relevant

Notes:
● This contains information on the recommended organizational structures and critical/minimum staffing complement which the DOH offices concerned deem appropriate
for the LGUs to enable them to undertake the devolved functions effectively and efficiently in a phased manner, e.g., in the short term (FYs 2021-2022) and the medium
term (FYs 2023-2024).
● This includes sets of functions from simple to complex that are identified through inputs from operations units and regional offices which have been assisting the LGUs in
these devolved activities will be very useful for this exercise.
● Positions to be proposed should take into account activities which can be performed by the existing mandatory positions in the LGU and creation of new positions shall be
guided by the DBM Circular 137 s. 2021 on the Index of Occupations and Position Classification for LGUs..
● LGUs are encouraged to benchmark with organizational structure and best practices models of other LGUs that have been effective in performing their mandates, especially
on devolved functions.
240
IV. Phases of Implementation
The adoption of the Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public

Health Facilities and Health Offices in Local Government Units (Annex C2 of the DOH
DTP) is recommended to be implemented in phases considering the incremental
creation of permanent positions as provided in the RA No. 11223 or the Universal
Health Care Act. This shall allow LGUs and other National Government Agencies
(NGA) involved the flexibility in planning for the gradual preparation of budget and
resource requirements.
The recommended phases may be guided by “rubrics method” whereas each position
is rated according to proposed prioritization of the Department (Table 4). The rates per
position per health system integration type shall then be ranked to identify priorities for
the 5-year implementation phases. The assessment has to be undertaken by the PCWHS
in coordination with their component LGUs, since the needs of each local health system
may vary depending on their actual capacity and needs. The rubrics could serve as an
objective basis for prioritization of local health systems and final decision for
implementation shall be based on the autonomy and authority of the concerned LGUs
as provided under LGC of 1991 49. Sample rubrics assessments are provided in Annex
A for guidance of LGUs.
