Kalusugan Pangkalahatan 2010-2016: An Assessment Report

The Aquino Health Agenda (AHA) is achieving Universal Health Care for All Filipinos, or Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (KP). Implemented from 2010-2016, the AHA has three main goals: 1. Sustained health financing; 2. Responsive health system; and 3. Better health outcomes. To achieve these goals, KP focused on addressing inequities in health, particularly by ensuring that those who belong in the lowest income quintiles have access to quality health care.

Within the six years of Kalusugan Pangkalahatan, the health budget has increased by more than fivefold, largely contributed by the Sin Tax Law. Likewise, the budget subsidies for Philhealth premium payment for the poor increased from 3.0B in 2011 to 43B in 2016, resulting to 100% coverage for indigents, based on the DSWD Listahanan, in 2015.
