    The Philippine healthcare delivery system has three levels - primary, secondary, and tertiary. At the primary level, rural health units and private clinics provide basic healthcare services. Secondary level hospitals include emergency and regional hospitals. There are also different categories of healthcare workers, from first-line hospital staff to village health workers who engage communities. While the system has improved healthcare access through initiatives like PhilHealth, challenges remain around inadequate medical facilities and equipment in rural areas. Upgrades to hospitals are needed, as well as hiring capable administrators to effectively manage facilities and raise funds. The government continues reforms to address issues of equity and strengthen the overall healthcare system.

    Reflection Paper about Philippine Healthcare Delivery System

    1. Summary of the topics that were discussed in the video.


    * The Department of Health (DOH) in the Philippines has given the following
    responsibilities to the various parts of the health care delivery system formulation and
    development of national health policies, guidelines, standards, and manuals of
    operations for health services and programs; granting of licenses and accreditations;
    promulgation of national health standards, goals, priorities, and indicators; development
    of special health programs and By providing and delivering health services, as well as
    by regulating and supporting suppliers of health goods and services, the Department of
    Health's main goal is to promote, protect, preserve, or restore the health of the
    population. Level I (Primary Level of Health Care Facility) includes rural health units,
    their sub-centers, chest clinics, malaria eradication units, and schistosomiasis control
    units, which are directly operated by the DOH; puericulture centers, which are run by
    the League of Puericulture Centers; tuberculosis clinics and hospitals run by the
    Philippine Tuberculosis Society; private clinics, clinics, and hospitals; and The Level II
    hospitals, which include emergency and regional hospitals, are the smaller, non-
    departmentalized hospitals. There are different categories of healthcare workers. In the
    Philippines, there are three levels of health professionals. These are the first-line
    hospital staff, the middle-level health workers, and the village or grassroots health
    workers. The first points of contact with the community and the first connections to
    healthcare are the village or grassroots health workers. They engage in activities aimed
    at raising the socioeconomic standing of the community, such as food production
    programs, and offer straightforward curative and preventive health care measures,
    which promote a healthy environment.

    2. Reflection/Insight about the video. What do you think is its impact or benefits to
    the community? What are the things that they can do more in order to improve
    the Philippine Healthcare Delivery System?
    * The Philippines' healthcare system is steadily getting better despite the country's
    problems. This is as a result of government initiatives that are moving the nation toward
    a unified system. PhilHealth therefore offers all Filipino citizens free medical care. The
    main obstacles to high-quality healthcare in the Philippines are a lack of hospitals and
    surgical supplies. In the Philippines, half of the population lives in rural areas where
    there are occasionally no licensed doctors and inadequate facilities with malfunctioning
    medical equipment. Greater cities are home to the majority of the best medical facilities.
    Upgrade medical facilities and hospitals. We must deal with this issue since it is the
    most fundamental. How can we care for our people if we lack the facilities, tools, and
    medications To change this, we must not only increase the budgets of these hospitals,
    but also hire capable, forward-thinking hospital administrators who will know how to use
    the extra funding.To quickly upgrade the hospital's capabilities, the director must be
    able to manage the facility effectively, raise money, and enter public-private
    partnerships.
    * The Philippine Healthcare system is a complex system and yet evolving from time.
    Although there might be challenges to Social Determinants to health, Health system
    solidity and Health engagement in development towards issues in equity, Successive
    reform efforts in these areas has been improved by the government nowadays in the
    health system. Even so, problems that arise in social determinants to health such as
    social stratification, wherein the lower class gets most of the diseases compared to the
    upper class, the government has been doing reforms and interventions on several
    projects and publications
