#21: Philippines: Twelve Minute Health System Summary
In this mini solo episode, we take a high level look at Philippines' health system.
In under twelve minutes, we take an overview of the health system dynamic, payer mechanisms and the fiscal policies the nation has employed to boost health expenditure 6-fold! We delve into the multifaceted nature of the ongoing epidemiological transition from communicable to non-communicable diseases. Additionally, we explore the impact of the 2024 World Health Assembly on climate-resilient health policies, and the critical issues surrounding health financing and infrastructure improvements. We briefly discuss the diabetes-obesity-hypertension nexus, emphasizing the interconnected nature of these conditions and the need for integrated healthcare approaches to manage and mitigate their impact on public health.
