The Philippines already had a severe lack of
medical personnel prior to the current
pandemic. According to the Department of
Health's most recent data, the country had
40,775 medical physicians (in the health
sector) in 2017, resulting in a medical doctor-
to-population ratio of 0.4:1,000.
In 2017, the Philippines had 90,308 professional nurses and 43,044
practicing midwives in public and private health institutions, equating
to a nurse-to-population ratio of 1.3:1,000, according to the Department
of Health. There is no clear suggested guideline for the number of
nurses and midwives, although the World Health Organization
estimates that the average for low medium income countries, including
the Philippines, is 1.7:1,000. (WHO). In 2017, the country was short
44,273 nurses and midwives, even by this low benchmark.

Because the lack of medical staff in the Visayas and Mindanao is more
acute, it is critical that the country's COVID-19 infection be controlled
inside Metro Manila and Luzon. In reality, as of April 14, Metro Manila had
a healthy 1.1 medical physicians per 1,000 population ratio, accounting for
more over 70% of the country's COVID-19 cases. Meanwhile, the remainder
of Luzon had just 0.32 doctors per 1,000, with Visayas and Mindanao having
even less, at 0.30 and 0.24, respectively. In ARMM, there was just one
doctor for every 1,000 people. Nurses and midwives had comparable
numbers: 1.6 per 1,000 in Metro Manila, 1.3 per 1,000 in the Visayas, and
1.2 per 1,000 in the rest of Luzon and the Visayas. These statistics, along
with the fact that rural regions have typically worse medical facilities and
equipment, imply that the spread of COVID-19 in the Visayas and Mindanao
