HEALTH SERVICE DELIVERY IN THE LOCAL HEALTH SYSTEM

Dr. Adriano Petagara Suba-an

Provincial Health Officer IIIPHO, Dinagat Islands

Is the complementation of our individual actions greater than its total summation?

Too many game plans

Too many unworthy competito

rs

Not a level playing field

In areas where distance is not measured by kilometers, health

facility closure would mean further deprivation.

Mechanism to mainstream IP areas

run over by urbanization

Deep pockets,

few coins

Changing values

Changing actors

A wound in the system

Barangays as building

blocks of health gains

New staging areas

The pie, not just

the slice

Silent bandillos

Too many

fiestas

Too many mentors

Rain not reaching

the ground

Too many hats

Too wide the

boxing ring

Too many commanders

Too many figures & numbers

but without a

heart

Small wins build up to become bigger

wins.

Maraming salamat po.

Wassalam.
