The mobilization of the Community Health Teams, (CHTs) is a strategy employed by the
Department of Health to guarantee that every family in the community is periodically visited
and attended by a health provider to ensure achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals and Universal Health Care. This strategy has a special focus on the Filipino families
under the National Household Targeting System (NHTS) for the delivery of key health
messages and increase utilization of health care services by the households. Community
Health Teams have a critical role in increasing awareness and recognition of health risks
among households, promoting healthy behaviors and prompt individuals to seek and utilize
health care services particularly among poor families;

To fully support the Department’s thrust of focusing support to all NHTS identified poor
households to access and utilize the appropriate health services for better health outcome,
DOH will provide fund support for CHT mobilization and operations to ensure that NHTS
targets are reached, provided information and referred to Service Delivery Networks. It is in
this context that a regional guideline for the release and utilization of the 2015 CHT
mobilization and operationalization plan is being issued.

II. OBJECTIVES
