Developing Nations
Global Health Situation
•Budget on health services relatively small•Providers lack financial resources
to upgrade
•Health care financing mostly from private
BUT:•Large pool of trainable human resources •Have advantage in tourism
•Need additional fiscal resourcesto fund higher health budgetrequirement
Philippine Scenario55% private financing43% public financing (including social insurance)
DOH budget – 1.6% of totalbudget on social, economic& other services (including finance charges)
Relatively slow expansion &modernization programs, operations not viable
Increasing migration of healthprofessionals

Modes Description Examples (Health care services)
MOVEMENT OF
HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS (MODE 4)
the possibilities offered for the entry and temporary stay in the Member’s territory of foreign individuals in order to supply a service.

Mode 4: Movement of Natural Persons
• Shortage of Medical Professionals Abroad• Philippines is major exporter in this trade• Migration will still continue • Seek better market access and national
treatment for our health professionals• Foreign medical professionals are allowed entry
only under certain intra-company arrangements or contracts but not allowed to practice or establish commercial presence

There’s need to coordinate and harmonize private and public sector initiatives.
Focus of private-public partnership (Cluster-based Approach):
•Upgrading quality of hard and soft infrastructure•Work towards reaching international standards of health care delivery•Explore the potentials of the local market to upgrade quality
AAAH 1st Conference October 29,2006

Strategic Directions: HRH Master Plan
Human Resource Development Increase health budget specifically on HRH Dev’t
To increase benefits allowable via social health insurance in order to increase demand for health care by 3 timesStrengthen capacity of Philhealth as an insurerAccess to funds by physicians particularly those in the provinces
Improve retention/return schemes: e.g. brain circulation Encourage lifelong learning (building credentials): Career mgt. Pursue proposals of NIH and PMA:
National Service ActCreation of Commission on Health Human Resources Development (can be part of the overall national structure)
AAAH 1st Conference October 29,2006

Strategic Directions:HRHMP
Developing Firm InfrastructureNeed for database/inventory of facilities and business networks here and abroadAccreditation of major hospitals with JCIAccess to financing via investment opportunities (e.g. joint ventures, management contracts)Cluster-based Approach: Closer links among associations across health and related industries (e.g. medical, travel, IT, etc.), government and academe
AAAH 1st Conference October 29,2006

Options for Negotiations• Conduct multi-stakeholder meetings to discuss Philippine
position in the GATS framework, regional arrangements, and bilateral arrangements specifically:
• Identifying the benefits and costs in relation to health objectives
• Implementation of exchange compensation schemes• Open up activities with significant inflows of capital that
would enhance local linkages• Identifying options for allowing foreign medical practitioners
and foreign investors and mutual recognition of licenses and standards

Need for Strategic Directions
•Lack of framework on the development of the health services sector•Absence of unified body to address local health sector and trade concerns •Lack of human resources development plan in relation to the needs of the local population and trade potentials•Absence of roadmap on exportable health services •Lack of inventory of health care providers/health professionals•Lack of discussions on the implications of the GATS among doctors, nurses or students and how to address possible risks•Lack of statistics on the contributions of other modes of health services trade(e.g. health tourism)BUT – private sector initiatives are existing
AAAH 1st Conference October 29,2006
37
Strategic Directions• Institutional Structure
– Foster private sector initiatives– Government to support or enable rather than increase intervention– Public-private mix to optimize scarce resources and create forum for public
discussions– Clearly define the national structure (from the existing inter-agency groups) to
address development of health services and trade in health services (e.g human resource development, coordination among stakeholders, development of common vision and targets)
• London Medicine• Australia’s National Health Industry Development Forum• Singapore Medicine• Malaysia’s 5-Committees
– Establishment of an incentive structure targeted at specific services such as health tourism and designed to attract capital flows and enhance local linkages (already initiated by BOI)
AAAH 1st Conference October 29,2006
38
Need for Strategic Directions• Domestic Policies
– Foreign Direct Investment – Policies to ensure universal access (Let’s not
ignore domestic market potentials)– Regulatory Policy on Standards and Accreditation
• International Policies – Work on insurance portability– Recognition of hospital and professional
standards
