The healthcare system in the Philippines has a decentralized structure with the Department of Health as the apex regulatory authority. It follows a pyramidal organization with primary care provided at rural health units and barangay health stations. While the country faces a double burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases, it spends a low percentage of its GDP on healthcare and faces challenges in meeting its Millennium Development Goals. Improving infrastructure, implementing health insurance programs, and strengthening community healthcare initiatives are priorities to enhance access and health outcomes across the population.

How Doctors Die.pdf
1) Charlie, a respected orthopedist and mentor of the author, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer but refused all treatment and focused on spending time with family, eventually dying at home.
2) Doctors experience death differently than most - they are aware of medical limitations and options and generally have a serene acceptance when facing their own mortality, opting for minimal treatment and dying peacefully.
3) The author argues that the medical system encourages excessive treatment out of fear of litigation and desire to avoid blame, even when treatment provides only misery, and that doctors still refuse such treatment for themselves by focusing on dignity and quality of life over aggressive measures near the end.

Mrs. Mythili is a 78-year-old widow who was brought to the emergency room by her caretaker with fever and shortness of breath. She had previously expressed to her doctor that she did not want invasive life-sustaining treatments like intubation if she became seriously ill. However, the emergency room intubated her upon finding hypoxia and pneumonia on her chest x-ray. Her doctor must now determine the best course of action that respects both her medical needs and prior expression of autonomy on end-of-life care.

Approaches To Issues Of Futility
- Physicians are obligated to fully communicate with patients and surrogates about diagnoses, prognoses, treatment options and risks in a timely manner to allow for informed medical decision making. However, studies show physicians often fail to discuss end of life care preferences with patients.
- Determinations of medical futility can be difficult due to uncertainties in prognosis and a lack of understanding of patient values. Physicians are encouraged to have open discussions with patients and surrogates about medical futility and end of life options.
- If a surrogate cannot understand the patient's medical situation or make decisions that reflect the patient's wishes, the physician may need to seek a new surrogate or consider the patient's best interests in
