Unilab Foundation (ULF) launched the Unilab Center for Health Policy (UCHP), a venue for stakeholders to examine health policy issues. “UCHP is intended to provide a platform for policy makers, the private sector, implementors and other concerned stakeholders—at the national and local levels—to discuss, distill and dissect health policy issues.
Department of Health Assistant Secretary Dr. Leonita Gorgolon underscored the paramount role of the private sector in making Universal Health Care a reality for Filipinos. In her keynote address, Asec. Gorgolon called for involvement in developing, redesigning, and pivoting policies for our UHC. “Together, let us build a nation where health is not just a privilege but a fundamental right for all.” Clinton Campos Hess , President of Unilab Foundation, presented the plaque of appreciation to Asec.
With a fragmented healthcare landscape, the Philippines grapples with obstacles that hinder the upliftment of marginalized Filipinos. Out-of-pocket expenses, uneven distribution of human resources, and limited access are among the persistent challenges that the newly established UCHP aims to tackle. “UCHP seeks to spawn ideas anchored on research and grounded on experience. Such an approach will help forge the appropriate interventions to the exigent health concerns of access, equity, quality, service delivery, UHC implementation, and the interphase of health with technology.” he added.
The first one revolves around the direction of the National Health Accounts from 1991 to 2022, wherein the UCHP embarks on a sonorous analysis of the data, offering a time-series impact analysis of the reforms. An ongoing project, the initial report will be presented in May 2024.
