"Jossel Ebesate of the Alliance of Health Workers, however, is not - TopicsExpress



          

"Jossel Ebesate of the Alliance of Health Workers, however, is not impressed with the figure, citing its non-compliance with international standards. “Kahit anong sabi ng gobyerno na malaki daw ang in-allocate this year, it could not hide the fact na yung sinasabing pondo na yun ay napakalayo pa rin sa hinihinigi o prescribed ng WHO na 5% ng ating Gross Domestic Product (GDP),” he said. (Whatever government may say about the increase in funds this year, it could not hide the fact that the allocated budget is still far from the WHO-prescribed health expenditure at 5% of GDP.) Ebesate also cited that only 17,000 – not even half – of the country’s 42,000 barangays have health centers. He added that midwives assigned to health centers in remote barangays only get to visit two to 3 times a week."
