MANILA (Sept 14) -- As budget hearings in Congress tackle health allocation today, lawmakers are urged to increase the proposed budget for health, which is a mere P1.10 per capita per day, to ensure a satisfactory level of health services for Filipinos.
Under the 2010 national government budget proposal, the health sector is allocated P37.9 billion or only 2.46% of the total proposed budget. Based on an estimated population of 94.01 million for 2010, this means that real per capita spending is just P403 per Filipino for health services.
