Goal:
Best possible health for Filipinos, particularly the poor, through improvement of province-wide health system (under the leadership of the Governor)
Best possible health
Aligned with Duterte Health Agenda (or Philippine Health Agenda 2016-2022)
For all Filipinos attaining their best health outcomes, living longer in a healthy age with few illnesses and preventing premature deaths from the scourges of stressful daily living and emerging public health threats
Better Health Outcomes with no disparity
For all Filipinos to have satisfactory experience when they access health services, where they feel respected and valued, and finally become in charge of their own health care.
Financial Protection from the high cost of healthcare
Responsiveness or empowerment in all the interactions with the health system.
Poor (Target Population)
NHTS-PR
The National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) is a data bank and an information management system that identifies who and where the poor are in the Republic of the Philippines.
No. of poor households in each of the selected provinces
PBLI:
Am I correct in my perception that when we say "particularly the poor," the prioritized target population in the province (which should be included in the vision of the Governor) are the poor - which will be based on the number of poor households identified by the National Household Targetting System for Poverty Reduction of DSWD?
Yes, we are hoping to start with the NHTS identified poor as the target population but at the very least, the 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilya) subset of NHTS. However, we are not going to prevent the province from expanding the scope if they already have the profile of the Q2 or other non-NHTS poor.
I supposed DSWD has the updated statistics on the number of poor households in the 8 provinces that we will work on.
The Listahanan which profiles the NHTS poor has been updated last year, 2015.
Social Welfare Development Index (SWDI) profile of the 4Ps is continuously being updated, at least quarterly.
SWDI includes among others the data on employable skills, employment, income, access to financial institutions, health, housing, education, role performance, and family awareness.
Questions:
What do we do with the NHTS-PR statistics? Does the Governor try to reduce the number? or it is enough that he promotes best possible health in this segment of the population (considering 16-month working time)?
Associated issue: what are the criteria and indicators for best possible health in this segment of the population?
There are 3 goals in health – maternal and child, malnutrition, and 1 other which is up to the engaged province to decide based on their initial data.
There are also 3 goals in social determinants of health – WASH, K to 12 education, and 1 other which is up to the engaged province to decide based on their initial data.
In the workshop of the province with the core group, they will decide on this 3 health goals and 3 SDH goals, and together with that, the indicators to be targeted.
Our team and DOH can guide them in that workshop, especially in the indicators that can be targeted given the 16 month duration of the program.
