Household OOP payment share to current health expenditure Philippines 2014-2022
In 2022, the household out-of-pocket (OOP) payment accounted for approximately 44.7 percent of the current health expenditure in the Philippines. The share of the out-of-pocket expenditure of Filipinos on the current health expenditure has demonstrated a downward trend since 2014. Through the passing of the Universal Health Care Act in 2019, the government further aims to reduce the out-of-pocket expenditures of its citizens.
