• Invest in the Health Facility Enhancement Program (HFEP) that defines a unified and rationalized health facility blueprint covering both public and private health facilities;
• Link provincial or city plans to the national allocation of investments for health, including acquisition of ROW and lands set aside for the construction of health facilities;
• Improve access to specialized services in subnational health facilities and enhance the quality-assurance system for public health facilities like the RHUs and BHSs. Provision of necessary access road to the RHUs and BHSs, especially in the remote areas, must be considered in the planning and development of health facilities;
• Increase the percentage of public and private hospitals for Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI);
• Strengthen the gate-keeping function of lower level facilities; and
• Integrate the provision of proper waste-management systems (e.g., hospital, toxic and solid waste) in the plans of all proposed and existing health facilities.
