g. No vaccinations and the inability of the mother to breastfeed her child
h. Lack of urgency or sense of emergency

2. What do you think is the MAIN reason why she died?

a. The members of the group all agreed that the main reason for Rosarios death is
Poverty. Because they didnt have enough money for her hospitalization and for
her medications, they were not able to avail the right medical attention she
needed. Also, we could say that their lack of awareness regarding health was a
factor that greatly contributed to her death.

3. How would you describe the national health situation today?

a. Healthcare is still a private affair wherein wealth is an important factor in
deciding who will get proper care and good facilities.
b. Poor health benefits, expensive medicines, and medical services even in public
hospitals or profit over patient
c. Insufficient knowledge of the people regarding health. This also causes the non-
compliance of patients as well as misguided information regarding health
d. The environment is one of the major factors that influence health. However, a lot
of barangays in the country is still suffering from problems with environmental
sanitation
e. Inaccessible health care services due to location of health centers and health
institutions in rural areas
f. Nurse-patient ratio in hospitals in both public and private institutions as well as
undersupplied doctors in far flung areas affecting the administration of proper
medical help to people in need
