Conclusion and recommendation. Paucity of current local literature impedes attaining a conclusive body of evidence, therefore, further research is needed. Operationalization of RSA should not be viewed as a singular means to solve the health workforce gaps, but as part of holistic assessment, taking into consideration epidemiological, geographical, political, and social determinants. Stakeholders must ingress in collaborative intersectoral policy actions to warrant bottom-up support. Activities related to mapping, monitoring, and incentivizing medical and health-related professionals must be established to support a system conducive for workforce retention. Key Words: health workforce, medically underserved area, return service INTRODUCTION A worldwide health human resource crisis Approximately half of the global population live in rural areas, yet only around a quarter of the world’s health workforce live and serve in these areas.1 The World Health Organization (WHO) identified 57 countries including the Corresponding author: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, MD, MPM UP Manila Health Policy Development Hub National Institutes of Health University of the Philippines Manila 000 Xxxxx Xxx St., Ermita, Manila 1000, Philippines Email: xxxxxxxxxx@xx.xxx.xx Philippines, whose health worker to population ratio is below the critical threshold of 2.3 per 1,000.2 These critical areas lag behind in health outcomes, even with considerable funding support for certain vertical programs. Implementation and sustainability of these programs have had gaps and challenges, in which lack of health workers is a major contributor. The World Health Assembly formulated a Medium- Term Strategic Plan to mitigate the gaps of demand and supply of health workforce. The strategic plan identified the three obstacles faced by the countries: 1) limited production capacity; 2) geographical imbalance in the distribution of health workers; and 3) migration from poor to developed countries.2 In the Philippines, the health human resource (HRH) crisis is mainly caused by the maldistribution of health workers and emigration of health professionals to developed countries. Studies showed that concerns about career opportunities, job satisfaction, landscape of continued privatization of the health system, and better salaries and working conditions were some of the accounted reasons why health professionals opt to serve in urban areas and consider emigration for employment.3 As a policy response, the government implemented progra...
Conclusion and recommendation. Depending on the tools utilized, there is a different proportion of sarcopenia risk; SARC-Calf 33 and 34 screens most cases. Ideally, as international guidelines, sarcopenia screening should be incorporated into the standard care of patients with cancer. However, this practice is uncommon in Indonesia. Sarcopenia screening is quick and easy. However, validating the suitable screening tools used in the Indonesian population is needed. REFERENCES Baracos, V. E. (2018). Cancer-associated malnutrition.

Conclusion and recommendation. 6.18 The Committee recognises the importance of the Pacific Islands Forum as the key political and economic policy organisation in the region and supports the directional changes in policy realised in the Agreement.
Conclusion and recommendation. 2.12 The Committee is conscious that the terms of mutual logistic support arrangements with the United States are largely predetermined. Nevertheless, there is widespread agreement that the 1998 Agreement has effectively facilitated logistics cooperation of critical importance to Australia’s military forces. It continues to stand the test of diverse operations, deployments, and training exercises. The new ACSA will ensure this stable and mutually beneficial framework is maintained. On the evidence presented, the Committee is satisfied that matters raised by Australia in the course of negotiations have been satisfactorily resolved.
Conclusion and recommendation. 3.13 The Committee recognises the importance of updating and enhancing taxation agreements with countries such as Singapore in the interests of increasing tax transparency. The Committee therefore supports binding treaty action being taken.
