Abstract

Over the past decade, there have been vigorous efforts to document the financial burden of health care in the Philippines, charting the cost from both the demand side (e.g., patients’ out-of-pocket spending)1-3 and supply side (e.g., costing analysis)4,5, analyzing the cost-effectiveness of various interventions6, and measuring the impacts of various financial protection interventions7. With the passage of the Universal Health Care Law in 2019, the recent scholarship has been oriented towards informing case rates and per capita coverage.8
