CONCEPT APPLICATION 5

By reading this chapter, you have all the ideas of Health Care Organizations and its
Systems under American Setting. Make your own assessment of our country’s Health
care Organizations as far as how the public and private sectors meet half way in
providing quality health care services to the target customers / patients. What Philippine
healthcare legislation you know that strongly supports the healthcare services of every
Filipino Citizens? 25pts

Websites to visit: www.doh.gov.ph ; www.neda.gov.ph , etc.

 Department of Health (DOH) is the principal health agency in the Philippines. It is

responsible for ensuring access to basic public health service to all Filipinos
through the provision of quality healthcare and regulation of providers of health
good and services. NEDA on the other hand, is the country’s premier
socioeconomic planning body. It provides high level advice to policymakers in
Congress and the Executive Branch. These 2 sectors meet halfway in a way that
NEDA suggest /advices the policymakers that if applied, the DOH will comply and
follow what is said to be done. The Philippine healthcare legislation I know that
strongly supports the healthcare services of every Filipino citizens is the
Philhealth where Filipino citizens can have free check-ups, medicine and hospital
bills in public hospitals.
