Changing role of hospitals in the Philippine health system.
The PHC approach is a cost effective solution to the problem of health care delivery in the developing countries, with very limited resources. Instituting such an approach on a nationwide basis requires a drastic departure from traditionally accepted and time hallowed methods. In the Philippines, this required a complete rethinking and overhauling of the entire public health structure. PHC is a system and a system approach is accordingly called for to implement PHC effectively.
