Fourmula One for Health (F1):
DOH Strategic Plan to implement health reforms (2005-2010)
Implementation framework for health sector reforms in the Philippines
Designed to implement critical health interventions as a single package backed by effective management infrastructure and financing arrangements
Engages the entire health sector to get involved in the implementation of health reforms
Invitation to join the collective race against: a. fragmentation of the health system; b. Inequity of health care; c. Impoverishing effects of ill health
General Objective:
To achieve critical reforms with speed, precision and effective coordination directed at improving the quality, efficiency, effectiveness and equity of the Philippine Health system in a manner that is felt and appreciated by Filipinos especially the poor.
Local governance in health (realizations):
There are major health problems. LGU resources are limited. Need for health interventions that are effective, efficient and equitable.
Individual interventions implemented in isolation will not work, it might even do more harm. Need to implement an integrated package of mutually supporting interventions.
Health sector is not just the public health sector but includes the private sector as well. LGU health governance includes involving the private sector.
LGUs should view NGOs/CSOs not as adversaries but as partners in health.
Health sector reform is a complex undertaking; it requires participatory decision-making for it to succeed.
