PHE Commentary on the Structural Arc of Mental Health
PHE Commentary on the Structural Arc of Mental Health
Mental health in the Philippines is not a series of separate episodes. It is one trajectory, one long path.
Read separately, we have a life-course epidemiology paper, a school consultation, and an occupational health study. Read together, they are one person... Sisa. Three papers, one trajectory, and at no point along it does the system reliably meet her.
What can the health system deliver?Whatever we recommend today has to be delivered by six workers for every hundred thousand Filipinos, on three and a half pesos a month.The inequity of exposure: The inequality may not be in who gets sick. It is in who gets better—and that is the question these surveys were not built to answer.
