Universal Health Care shall be adopted as the approach to improve, streamline, and scale up the health sector reform strategies. This shall address inequities in health outcomes by ensuring that all Filipinos, especially the poor, have equitable access to quality health care. No Filipino will be denied health care, even those without the means to pay.
The National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) shall be strengthened as the prime mover in improving financial risk protection, generating resources to modernize and sustain health facilities, improving the provision of health services to achieve the MDGs, and reducing the risks of lifestyle-related illnesses. The NHIP's limited resources shall be augmented through PPPs.
To attain universal participation in primary education, the government shall provide adequate basic educational inputs, expand alternative learning systems (ALS) and alternative delivery modes (ADM), and improve facilities. Alongside efforts that address disparities in access and equity, gaps in quality shall be closed by enhancing learning efficiency through strong partnership with various stakeholders. A convergence of efforts shall be ensured.
The CCT program shall be a crucial component of the strategy for universal health care and education for all. Providing incentives to families to keep their children in school and to seek regular health care creates the demand for the social services government provides.
