3 FOREWORD The Philippine National Health Accounts (PNHA) is a framework for the compilation of information on the country s healthh expenditures. It consists of a set of statistics that systematically presentss national health spending for a given year. Specifically, it tells: (a) how much is being spent on health care; (b) who pays for health care; (c) what health care servicess are being provided; and (d) how much it costs to administer healthh financing schemes. It provides insights on the efficiency and effectiveness of health care financing and helps determine appropriate interventions to improve the delivery of health care. The PNHA is a publication of the Social Statistics Office (SSO) of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Major data inputs are provided by the following source agencies: Department of Health (DOH), Department of Budget and Management (DBM), Commission on Audit (COA), National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), Social Security System (SSS), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), National Statistics Office (NSO), Insurance Commission (IC), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Department of Education (DepED), Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), and the Association of Health Maintenance Organizations in the Philippines, Inc. (AHMOPI), among others. The 2011 PNHA is the ninth publication to be released by the NSCB, covering the estimates for the years In this edition, the revised estimation methodologies and improved coverage were adopted in accordance with NSCB Resolution No. 8 Series of 2011, Approving the Estimation Methodologies for the Compilation of the Philippine National Health Accounts. This is to maintain and further expand the usefulness of the PNHA, based on recent developments and changes in the reporting systems of the data source agencies. This publication contains analyses, tables and graphs depicting the levels and patterns of healthh care spending in the country. It also includes a discussion of the PNHA Framework with concepts and definitions as well as Technical Notes, which provides information on data sources and estimation procedures. The data presented heree help determine whether the aggregate health care spending from all sourcess is adequate to meet basic minimum requiremen nts and identify probable areas of inefficiencies in allocating health care resources. We hope that policymakers, planners, researchers and the general public will find this publication useful in crafting actual policies, programs and projects. JOSE RAMON G.

10 1. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2011 PNHA RESULTS

11 HIGHLIGHTS OF PNHA The following trends are observed in PNHA estimates from : Total Health Expenditure continuously increased from 2005 to 2011 at an average annual growth rate of 11.7 percent The total health expenditure (THE) grew from P222 billion in 2005 to P431 billion in 2011, an average annual increase of 11.7 percent at current prices or 6.4 percent at constant 2000 prices, (Table 2.1). The growth slowed down by half from 2007 to 2008 (at constant 2000 prices), but picked up again from 2008 increasing at a rate of 7.3 percent in 2009 up to 9.9 percent in Since the rate of increase in population was slower than the increase in THE, per capita health expenditure also grew at 9.7 percent at current prices and at 4.5 percent at constant 2000 prices, (Table 2.2). The share of THE to GDP ranged from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent from 2005 to The share of THE to GNP, on the other hand, was almost constant at 3.1 percent to 3.3 percent from 2005 to 2011, (Table 2.3).. Health spending from all funding sources increases, but out-of-pocket health spending continues to account for slightly more than half of the Total Health Expenditure throughout 2005 to 2011 Among the sources that had a growth rate in expenditure higher than the THE average growth rate of 11.7 percent are HMOs at 16.3 percent, the National Health Insurance Program of the PhilHealth at 12.5 percent, Local Government at 12.4 percent, and out-of-pocket at 12.0 percent, (Table 2.4). Out-of-pocket health expenditures continued to comprise more than half of the THE, ranging from 51.9 percent to a high of 56.7 percent within the period, (Table 2.5). The share of the local government fluctuated but it is the second largest source in 2011, accounting for 14.7 of the total health expenditure. The share of the National showed a decreasing trend from 2005 to 2009, thereafter the share increased reaching12.3 percent in PhilHealth s share also dipped from 8.7 percent in 2005 to 7.1 percent in 2008, managing to rise in 2009 accounting for 9.1 percent in 2011, still below the target of 19 percent by 2016 based on the DOH Health Care Financing Strategy The share of Foreign Assisted Projects (FAPs) and Loans in national government health expenditure decreases by 21 percentage points from 2005 to 2011 The national government relied less and less on FAPs and loans for its health expenditure. FAPS spending registered a negative 31.0 percent growth from 10

12 P7.1 billion in 2005 to only P0.8 billion in 2011, with the share in national government health spending decreasing from 22.0 percent to 1.4 percent; GOP counterpart decreased accordingly, (Table 2.7). About half of the national government spending is contributed by the DOH and its attached agencies, ranging from 46.8 percent to 56.6 percent. The health spending of Other National Agencies tripled from P7.8 billion in 2005 to P22.4 billion in 2011, with the share in national government health spending almost doubling from 24.2 percent to 42.1 percent for the same period, (Table 2.7). Trend in use of health expenditures remains almost the same There were only slight movements in the share of public health care, personal care, and other types of health care in the total health expenditure from 2005 to 2011, (Table 2.8). The share of public health care ranged from 9.8 percent to 12.7 percent, although there was a 1.6 percentage points increase from 2010 to The share of personal care ranged from 77.6 percent to 81.2 percent, and remained constant at 78.6 percent in 2010 and Other types of care comprised 8.8 percent to 10.7 percent of the THE. Government health expenditure shifts to public health care There was an observed shift in the use of government funds from personal care and other types of care to public health care, which was more pronounced from 2010 to 2011 with the share of public health care increasing from 34.0 percent to 43.1 percent, (Table 2.9). This can be mainly attributed to DOH which doubled its public health care spending from 2010 to The Local Government is consistently the largest spender for public health care Among all funding sources, the local government accounts for more than half of total public health spending from 2005 to 2011, (Table 2.11). Public health comprised 44.4 percent to 45.3 percent of local government health expenditure for this period. 11

14 Highlights of the 2011 PNHA Results 1.2 SOURCES OF FUNDS FOR HEALTH Government expenditures and health benefit payments from social insurance lead increases in health spending Government expenditures and social insurance led increases in health spending, but the private sector remained the highest health spender. The government increased spending from P101.4 billion in 2010 to P116.4 billion in 2011, demonstrating a 14.9 percent growth. Both the national and local governments contributed to this increase, registering a growth of 22.3 percent and 9.2 percent, respectively. Social insurance benefit payments hiked from P33.9 billion to P39.1 billion, translating to a 15.3 percent increase. This was mainly due to the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) whose spending increased by 15.5 percent. Employees Compensation decreased further by 17.1 percent.

15 Highlights of the 2011 PNHA Results Per capita health expenditures increase for all funding sources except the rest of the world With the increases in expenditure from social insurance, government and private sources, the per capita health expenditure went up by 13.4, 12.9 and 11.8 percent, respectively. However, a large decrease in expenditure from the rest of the world resulted in a 46.4 percent decline in the per capita health expenditure for the rest of the world. In real terms, there was an increase of 10.1 percent in social insurance, 9.7 percent in government sources and 8.6 percent in private sources. On the other hand, decrease in per capita health expenditure was reflected in the rest of the world at 48.0 percent.

A decline was, however, noted in the GOP counterpart expenditure by 9.7 percent. Other national agencies include Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, Philippine Amusements and Gaming Corporation, Department of Social Welfare and Development, University of the Philippine System, Armed Forces of the Philippines - General Headquarters, Food and Nutrition Research Institute, Department of Labor and Employment, Department of Education and Bureau of Fire Protection.

The government's target to depend less on out-of-pocket payments and provide more social health insurance is still far from being realized as the share of out-of-pocket payments still remained at 53 percent while the share of social insurance payments is also unmoved at 9 percent in Based on the HSRA, the target for out-of-pocket is 20 percent while the target for social insurance is 30 percent.

19 Highlights of the 2011 PNHA Results 1.5 HEALTH EXPENDITURE OF ASEAN COUNTRIES Health spending in the Philippines still at par with majority of ASEAN countries Based on the report of the World Health Organization (WHO), the share of total health expenditure to GDP in the Philippines reached 3.6 percent in 2009, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point from the previous year. While based on the NSCB report, total health expenditure as percentage of GDP increased to 4.3 percent in Among the other ASEAN countries, Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore and Thailand had lower percentage share of total health expenditure to GDP than the Philippines. Those countries in the ASEAN Region in which their governments contributed more than half of their respective total health expenditure include Brunei Darrusalam at 85.2 percent, Thailand at 74.6 percent, and Malaysia at 55.7 percent. While the Philippine government merely posted 25.9 percent on the total health spending of the country. Private expenditure on health in the Philippines decreased slightly from 66.9 percent in 2008 to 63.7 percent in 2009, but still maintaining a share of more than 50 percent. The only countries that showed higher private health expenditure shares are Myanmar with 88.7 percent, Singapore with 63.9 percent, and Lao People s Democratic Republic at 71.7 percent.
