Defining the Road Map for Reforms
FOURmula
ONE for Health
is the implementation framework for health sector reforms in the
Philippines
for the medium term covering 2005-2010. It is designed to implement critical
health interventions as a single package, backed by effective management
infrastructure and financing arrangements.
This document provides the road map towards achieving the strategic health
sector reform goals and objectives of FOURmula
ONE for Health
from the national down to the local levels.
FOURmula
ONE for Health
engages
the entire health sector, including the public and private sectors, national
agencies and local government units, external development agencies, and civil
society to get involved in the implementation of health reforms. It is an
invitation to join the collective race against fragmentation of the health
system of the country, against the inequity of healthcare and the impoverishing
effects of ill-health. With a robust and united health sector, we can win the
race towards better health and a brighter future for generations to come.
