The document summarizes key health challenges and policies in the Philippines. The top three causes of mortality are ischemic heart disease, stroke, and lower respiratory infections. The three main health service delivery challenges are low physician and nurse/midwife density and hospital bed availability. Major health policies enacted include the Sin Tax Act to increase tobacco and alcohol taxes to fund health insurance, the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law establishing sex education and contraceptive access, and the National Health Insurance Act expanding health coverage.

This seventh edition of Health at a Glance provides the latest comparable data on different aspects of the performance of health systems in OECD countries. It provides striking evidence of large variations across countries in the costs, activities and results of health systems. Key indicators provide information on health status, the determinants of health, health care activities and health expenditure and financing in OECD countries. Each indicator in the book is presented in a user-friendly format, consisting of charts illustrating variations across countries and over time, brief descriptive analyses highlighting the major findings conveyed by the data, and a methodological box on the definition of the indicator and any limitations in data comparability.

Social Determinants and Economic Burden of Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) on...Ruby Med Plus
India is home to almost one fifth of world’s population living in different states and differ in their ethnic origin, culture and various other ways that influence their health status.
National Health Policy 2017 address the issue of NCDs.
There exist dual burden of NCDs and Infectious and maternal-child disease across different states of India.
This puts challenging situation to Indian Health Care System which must be tackled by larger health investments and a balanced approach in reducing infectious and maternal-child diseases and also blunt the rising tide of NCDs and Injuries.
Since 1990’s, the contribution of most of the major non-communicable disease groups like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory diseases, mental health and neurological disorders, cancers, musculoskeletal disorders, and chronic kidney disease to the total disease burden has increased all over India.
In 2016, three of the five leading individual causes of disease burden in India were non-communicable diseases, with ischaemic heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease as the top two causes and stroke as the fifth leading cause.
In 2016, the NCD burden across India was 9-fold for ischaemic heart disease, 4-fold for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and 6-fold for stroke, and 4-fold for diabetes.
Risks factors like unhealthy diet, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and overweight, which mainly contribute to ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Published in The Lancet in November 2018, GBD 2017 provides for the first time an independent estimation of population, for each of 195 countries and territories and the globe, using a standardized, replicable approach, as well as a comprehensive update on fertility. GBD 2017 incorporates major data additions and improvements, using a total of 68,781 data sources in the estimation process.

According to “Heart Disease and Stroke” (2013), “Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Together, heart disease and stroke are among the most widespread and costly health problems facing the Nation today, accounting for more than $500 billion in health care expenditures and related expenses in 2010 alone. Fortunately, they are also among the most preventable” (para. 2)
Leveraging Assets to Improve Health and Equity in Rural Communitiesnado-web
This presentation was delivered at NADO's Annual Training Conference, held in Anchorage, Alaska on September 9-12, 2017.
A growing body of research shows that people living in rural communities experience inequities in health and well-being compared to their urban counterparts. The NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is conducting formative research to explore opportunities to improve health
and equity in rural communities using an asset-based community development approach. This session will provide an overview of rural health disparities data, followed by preliminary findings and key recommendations to strengthen rural communities
based on an enhanced understanding of culture and history, priorities, assets, partners, and promising strategies unique to and common across rural communities and regions.

Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day 12.12.14, NepalDeepak Karki
This presentation is made on the first ever Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Day 12.12.14 celebration in Nepal by Nepal Health Economics Association (NHEA).
Universal health coverage was established in the WHO constitution of 1948 declaring health a fundamental human right.The goal of universal health coverage is to ensure that all people obtain the health services they need without suffering financial hardship when paying for them.
The Solomon Islands HiT determines that the country’s health system has significant weaknesses but also considerable strengths. Despite the range and difficulty of issues facing policy-makers in the Solomon Islands, there have been significant achievements in health, including considerable progress in advancing population health status. The performance of the health system is positive, achieving high coverage, high satisfaction levels, and steady progress on health outcomes. Nonetheless, the country faces important health challenges that could undermine development gains made to date

Healthcare & Globalization
• International migration due to employment opportunities overseas as a
solution to employment benefits and poverty (2010)
• An increasing number of Filipinos have developed professional skills to
meet international labor shortages (2010)
• Climate Change Policies regarding Disaster Management and
Preparedness and adaptation :
• Climate Change Act of 2009 & Philippine Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010 (2009 &2010)
Three Major Health Care Policies
• ‘Sin Tax’ Act of 2012 (2012)
• Significant increase in taxation on tobacco and alcohol
• Profit goes to enrolling poorer half of population in PhilHealth
• Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law 2012 (2012)
• First time there will be sex education in schools
• Allows government to give contraceptives to the poor
• National Health Insurance Act 2013 (2013)
• Pays for enrollment of poor in PhilHealth
• Brings universal health coverage to include poorest quintiles
• Reduces financial risk to patients
System Match/Mismatch to Health/Delivery Problems
• Some remote areas of Philippines do not have good quality of care due to
low proportion of healthcare workers and hospitals (2012)
• Out-of-Pocket Payments contribute to financial burden especially for the
poor (2011)
• Direct payments toward health services and resources that are not
supported by PhilHealth remains high and even higher for the poor (2011)
• However, social health insurance has nonetheless provided greater
opportunity for the poor. In April 2011, 4.4 million new poor families have
enrolled in PhilHealth (2011)
