Abstract:

This report addresses the legal and institutional constraints faced by the health system in the Philippines, with an emphasis on the issues impacting private sector participation within the health system. This pilot assessment activity applied an established commercial legal and institutional reform analytical methodology using a health sector lens to identify how laws and institutions impact the participation of the private sector within the overall health system framework. This HealthCLIR assessment was conducted on behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development in the Philippines to help validate the tool’s design, while at the same time providing a new approach for understanding the legal and institutional issues impacting health service providers and medical goods distribution.
