21. Social Determinants of Health “Do we not always find the diseases of the populace traceable to defects in society?” Rudolf Virchow Diseases and disparities in health are often products of a “toxic combination of poor social policies and programs, unfair economic arrangements and bad politics,” WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health In the Philippines: A Graying Population Urbanization Climate Change and Degraded Environments Internal and External Migration

22. The Greatest Challenge: INEQUITIES IN HEALTH CARE Wide disparity in health outcomes with poor areas more likely to: Not have access to medicines and facilities Lack qualified medical personnel Have higher morbidity & mortality rates Have lower life expectancy

26. Key Actions to Address the 2016 Health Agenda Leadership and Governance Health Systems and Service Delivery Sufficient and Sustainable Financing for Essential Health Services Information and Communication Technology for Health Health Workforce Health Products

27. Leadership and Governance  Devolution highlighted economic, fiscal & managerial differences between LGUs and among LCEs.  Misaligned priorities and poor planning and implementation  Autonomy is a double edged sword. Autonomy → Better Governance Autonomy → Patronage Autonomy → Obstructionism Autonomy → Corruption

28. Leadership and Governance DOH Mandate: Stewardship and oversight of the health sector Situation: Decentralized system-managing national programs through LGUs; Creeping renationalization; Responsibility without authority

29. Health Systems and Service Delivery multi-stakeholder involvement to ensure adequate representation of all parts of the system; local infrastructure for system-wide capacity and health workforce development; whole of government approach to leverage resources and reduce duplication in health financing; local government ownership/partnerships with private sector even as national government provides policy directions, resource augmentation and overall leadership evidence-based M & E systems and link provision of resources to results.

30. Information and Communication Technology for Health  Quickly improve the quality and timeliness of data collection, recording, & analysis.  Better quality data to inform planning, monitoring and regulation of programs is needed.

31. Sufficient and Sustainable Financing for Essential Health Services  NHIP is main sustainability mechanism for Universal Health Care.  Shifts the driver of health care from supply to demand.  Increased resources needed to cover service expansion after universal health coverage is attained.  Programs carefully designed to ensure better service quality, good health results, and cost containment.

32.  Sufficient number & appropriate mix of staff that are competent, & caring, & distributed according to need.  Private sector providers needed to augment / complement healthcare workforce in the public sector.  Public & private sector providers must work together to achieve the best health outcomes possible given limited resources. Health Workforce

33.  Essential medicines, vaccines and technologies available, affordable, and of assured quality.  Selected based on real needs, evidence of efficacy and safety and cost effectiveness.  Medical products used appropriately so as not to waste limited resources and jeopardize the quality of health care. Health Products

34.  Most government health facilities in a state of disrepair. Time to increase & upgrade all public health facilities  Need for more high level health care facilities that provide quality health care at sustainable costs for the poor in all regions. Health Facilities

35.  progress on health inadequate despite sustained economic growth  put health as a priority  mitigate the impact of poor maternal and child health, prevalent infectious diseases, increasing NCDs and of a changing climate.  invest to achieve good health. Focus on economic growth and wealth has often missed the core reason for development—
