Increasing the budget for health care

• The current budget for health care in the Philippines is not adequate for the population. According to the World Health Organization, the government expenditure on health as a percentage of GDP in the Philippines was only 5.6% in 2020. This is one of the lowest percentages in the world.
• To solve the health crisis, the government needs to increase its spending on health care. This can be done by redirecting funds from other sectors, or by increasing taxes. However, it is important to note that any increase in taxes should be done carefully, as it could have negative impacts on the economy.

2. Improving access to health care.

• Improving access to health care would require a significant investment and subsidies from the government. Overall, it would pay off because it would increase population health and lessen the strain on the healthcare system.
