2. Adopting Global Health Initiatives To Local and National Context
The Department of Health of the Philippines and the World
Health Organization (WHO) are pleased to present The
Philippines–WHO Country Cooperation Strategy 2017–2022. The
strategy spells out the country's shared vision for health: All for
health towards health for all. This is the vision of the Philippine
Health Agenda 2016–2022, with which this strategy is closely
aligned.

3. In the international arena, the Philippines has been an active
Member State of WHO, and is the home of the WHO Regional
Office for the Western Pacific. The country has played a critical
role in shaping development agendas, including the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). In the spirit of the SDGs, this country
cooperation strategy focuses on leaving no one behind and
enhancing collaboration for health to move the Philippines closer
to universal health coverage. The work of WHO and the
Department of Health will focus on five strategic priorities: saving
lives, promoting well-being, protecting health, optimizing the
health architecture and using platforms for health.

Philippines–WHO
Country Cooperation
Strategy 2017–2022?

5. The Philippines–WHO Country Cooperation
Strategy 2017–2022 sets out how the World Health
Organization (WHO) will work with the Philippines over
the next six years to realize the vision of the Philippine
Health Agenda 2016–2022 as a stepping stone towards
the health-related Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs).

6. For WHO, this strategy paves the way for a new level of
collaboration with the Philippines – as a focused, transparent and
committed partner that supports the country in making health a
priority across programmes and sectors. Government departments
and United Nations agencies, multilateral and bilateral partners
and civil society groups have contributed to the development of
this strategy. We deeply appreciate the inputs and insights of all
participants in the consultation process. As long-time partners, we
look forward to continuing to work together in the coming years to
implement this strategy. Together, we will work to improve the
health of the more than 100 million Filipinos and contribute to
better health across the Western Pacific Region.

7. What is the Filipino vision for health?
The global vision of the world 15 years from now aligns with
the Philippines’ 25-year vision AmBisyon Natin 2040. This
vision guides the development and implementation of four
subsequent Philippine development plans until 2040. It is
based on public consultations across the country, primarily
with poor and marginalized groups.
There is an ongoing process of integrating SDGs into
AmBisyon Natin 2040 and into national, sectoral and
subnational plans and frameworks.

8. Vision of Filipinos for the country
“By 2040, the Philippines shall be a prosperous,
predominantly middle-class society where noone is
poor. Our people will enjoy long and healthy lives, are
smart and
innovative, and will live in
a high-trust society.”

9. Vision of Filipinos for themselves
“In 2040, all Filipinos will enjoy a stable and comfortable
lifestyle, secure in the knowledge that we have enough for
our daily needs and unexpected expenses, that we can plan
and prepare for our own and our children’s futures. Our
families live together in
a place of our own, yet we
have the freedom to go where
we desire, protected and enabled
by a clean, efficient, and fair government.
