Strengthening Local Health Systems and Health Financing Towards Universal Health Care
The Philippines embarked on a bold and ambitious journey to achieve the goal of universal health care (UHC), with its landmark legislation that aims to revitalize health care through a whole-of-systems, whole-of-government, whole-of-society, people-centered approach. This coffee-table book presents the activities and experiences of our two partner provinces, Antique and Guimaras, that have been implementing the UHC law in their local contexts. It highlights the successes and challenges, the innovations and good practices of the people who have been involved in this transformative process, with a focus on the power of collaboration and partnership, vision and action, and commitment and compassion.

Scoping the Digital Landscape of Health Resource Tracking in the Philippines
The complexity of health financing in the Philippines makes it challenging to track resources for health that would lead to better, evidence-informed policies. On the other hand, the progress of digitalization in the country and the mandates of the UHC Law provide opportunities to develop more integrated and reliable information systems that can assist health resource tracking (HRT). This case study aims to document information related to (1) the HRT landscape in the country, (2) existing PFM processes and the use of digital PFM solutions, and (3) the potential for introducing digital PFM solutions to improve resource tracking.
