Health Financing. Financing TA in HealthGov’s first two years focused on three key areas: orienting provincial governments on financing and resource mobilization, support to the financing component of the PIPH, and developing the necessary tools to respond to LGU TA needs. HealthGov’s orientations on financing and resource mobilization sought to deepen the LGUs’ understanding of funding sources and the available means to create new sources and enhance existing health resources. These orientations encouraged the provinces to explore internal financing options, cost-recovery measures like user charges, as well as non-traditional approaches such as loans, bonds, and public-private partnerships. Thus far, one municipality in Albay, i.e., Polangui, has sought the project’s assistance in setting up a revolving fund in which income derived from the sale of drugs and commodities may be placed. TA given included guidance on how to set up the revolving fund and craft the ordinance that would mandate the same. HealthGov supported the health investment planning of the seven F1 rollout sites through TA in costing, financial planning, and fund management. Since investment implies additional resources for health, coaching highlighted the need to allocate extra budgetary resources by generating additional revenues, enhancing the efficiency of fund utilization to generate savings, utilizing the power to borrow, and attracting health investments. The project identified financing-related gaps in the draft PIPHs and recommended steps the provinces could take to address these gaps. The project expanded its array of tools for strengthening LGU financing for health. The new tools include guidelines for public finance management planning for health, procedures to estimate the number of eligible indigents for enrollment in the National Health Insurance Program, a public finance management self-assessment checklist, and guidelines for DOH’s MNCHN Grant Facility.
Health Financing. The carrying out of Central Subprograms for the strengthening of financing options and financial management of the health sector by developing and refining alternative financing mechanisms (including the establishment of a national health insurance scheme and the piloting of a revolving financing scheme for drugs), through the provision of CHF Grants, training, technical advisory services, and equipment.
