Videos: Local Perspectives from 5 Health Workers on the Philippines Health System

As HRH2030 observed World Health Worker Week in April 2019, the USAID-funded HRH2030 activity in the Philippines joined partners around the world to commemorate health workers through the theme: “Health Workers at the Heart of Health for All.” This celebration came on the heels of the Philippines’ signing of the Universal Health Care Act into law which will address shortages of qualified health professionals, imbalances in the distribution of health workers, and variations in health service quality across the country. Here, HRH2030 shares voices from five health workers who applaud the Philippine government’s efforts to support the nation’s human resources for health and strengthen the health system.
