Department of Health, Philippines: Annual Report 2014

2014 was another milestone year for the Department of Health (DOH) as they continued their efforts to achieve Kalusugan Pangkalahatan. 

With the support of partner agencies, the Department has been vigilant in preventing the spread of emerging and re-emerging diseases by taking appropriate measures such as surveillance, quarantine procedures, effective information dissemination and risk communication, and a hospital referral network system.

To allow more Filipinos to enjoy the benefits of universal health care, the department widened the reach and depth of financial risk protection by increasing membership in the National Health Insurance Program of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) through the Point of Care Enrollment Program.
