JR Ong @jrong13 Good evening! Welcome to #HealthXPH tweetchat. This is Dr. JR Ong of @AIHO_PH, presently in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, your moderator for tonight's discussion. We will be discussing the #UniversalHealthCoverage. | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: Good evening! Welcome to #HealthXPH tweetchat. This is Dr. JR Ong of @AIHO_PH, presently in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines, your moderator for tonight's discussion. We will be discussing the #UniversalHealthCoverage. | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba #healthxph still on the road stuck in traffic but standing by for our tweetchat on universal healthcare. I am Helen from Cebu, proudly a government physician and patient advocate. https://t.co/1m24rfYfI1 | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @AIHO_PH Good evening JR & AIHO! Thanks for moderating the #HealthXPH tweet chat tonight on #UniversalHealthCoverage ! Iris, here in QC too | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @helenvmadamba Hi Dr. Helen. Is that in Cebu? #HealthXPH Thanks for being with us! | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SherwinVerdun Hi Sherwin! Happy to have you back at #HealthXPH! | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl #HealthXPH #UHCDay Joining in with a Canadian perspective, from both bioethics & (relatively recent) rare disease/invisible illness viewpoints⤵️ Likely to fade out, as I'm at 15 hours post-infusion Through universal health coverage, at a world-class but old university hospital https://t.co/v1wQbGWkFw | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @AIHO_PH Thanks Dr. Iris for this opportunity. First time to moderate a tweet chat haha! #Healthxph. | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @AIHO_PH You got this :) #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 RT @SandraWoodsMtl: #HealthXPH #UHCDay Joining in with a Canadian perspective, from both bioethics & (relatively recent) rare disease/invisible illness viewpoints⤵️ Likely to fade out, as I'm at 15 hours post-infusion Through universal health coverage, at a world-class but old university hospital https://t.co/v1wQbGWkFw | |
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO Chuck! Here for #HealthxPH! PS Y'all invited to attend our #socialVR event on the 18th: Fight Holiday Blues w/Tech! https://t.co/z4auLD1WRJ (did a pretty good job of customizing my avatar, don't you think?) https://t.co/ylV4bovmwI | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @AIHO_PH Enjoy it & have fun! #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @SandraWoodsMtl Hi Sandra! Thanks for joining us in #HealthXPH Might be helpful in discussion since you have relatively better #universalhealthcoverage there in Canada. #UHCDay | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl Hi Sandra!! We’re hoping for #UniversalHealthCoverage for the Philippines 🇵🇭 too ! #healthxph | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @helenvmadamba Waving a big #healthxph hello Helen! | |

Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch #healthxph final steps in the legislation being undertaken | |
JR Ong @jrong13 Here in the Philippines, we generally prefer the term #UniversalHealthCare. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @AlbertDomingo are you there? Please join us now for #HealthXPH chat on #UniversalHealthCoverage | |

JR Ong @jrong13 @earlouismd @HealthXPh @UHC_Day Hi Doc. Thanks for joining us! Will look forward on your thoughts regarding #universalhealthcoverage. #Healthxph #UHCDay | |
Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco Hello, Stephanie from Dumaguete at bit late, just got out of the Med School Christmas party. Hi everyone! #healthxph | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 What’s the difference 😉 #healthxph | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @jrong13 Yes, in Cebu. We experience christmas traffic same as in Manila #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @ohitsmiko Thanks Miko! looking forward to your perspectives as Public Health researcher. #Healthxph #UHCDay | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc Remo here, bonedoc from south PH joining tonights #HealthXPH chat on UHC | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl We only need the president's signature for us to have the #UHCLaw! #UHCday #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @bonedoc Hi Brod! Thanks for joining. T1 is up! What is #UniversalHealthCoverage for you? #HealthXPH https://t.co/BlqWphFgBf | |
HealthXPh @HealthXPh #HealthXPh chat topic for today on UHC | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch T1 universal healthcare - access to the healthcare team ,lab tests and medications. I see many persons with diabetes at my clinic who need these. #HealthXPH | |

Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @jrong13 Over what other term? What other term is there for universal healthcare? #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @thestreetgazer Hello Stephanie! #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 Yes. #UniversalHealthCoverage is anchored on the principle that Health is a right. #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @helenvmadamba Accepted term is #UniversalHealthCoverage, but here in PH, we use #UniversalHealthCare. #HealthXPH | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl #HealthXPH #UHCDay In Canada, each province/territory manages #healthcare separately from other jurisdictions, so "universal" coverage differs across country e.g. In my area, medically-required physical therapy is free in hospital, but out of pocket patient $ outside hospital https://t.co/wKrUYt2fks | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @SandraWoodsMtl Questions have been raised though regarding funding it. #healthxph #UHCDay | |
JR Ong @jrong13 And since health is a right, each one of us, regardless of social or financial status,should have access to quality care without bringing us to financial catastrophe. #healthxph #uhcday | |

Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads Lads, medical student from Manila. Signing in late for #healthxph tweetchat. | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @SandraWoodsMtl @endocrine_witch As a govt physician, i experienced firsthand the diff between out of pocket healthcare and Philhealth insurance coverage. As residents in training, we had to shell out money from our own salaries just to make sure everything an indigent patient needs is provided for. #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl Yes. Because #universalhealthcoverage is an ambitious, but realistic, vision. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |

Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl Oh, why is that? #healthxph | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl Yes. Because #universalhealthcoverage is an ambitious, but realistic, vision. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba Universal health coverage is when it doesnt matter if a patient who needs to be admitted has money or not. What the patient needs, the patient gets #healthxph | |
Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco RT @jrong13: @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl Yes. Because #universalhealthcoverage is an ambitious, but realistic, vision. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @drdrlads Hi Doc Lads! Thanks! Do you know that when the time you are going to start to practice, there are already changes in place because of #UHCLaw. #HealthXPH | |
Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco RT @jrong13: Still in commemoration of International #UHCDay, let's discuss #UniversalHealthCoverage this Saturday, 9pm Manila (GMT +8:00), during the weekly #HealthXPH tweet chat. Let's talk about what it is, the challenges, our contribution to achieve this aspiration @HealthXPh @UHC_Day https://t.co/2pz3xYvglC | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch Don’t forget the hashtag :) thanks for joining the #healthXPH tweet chat. | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @helenvmadamba: Universal health coverage is when it doesnt matter if a patient who needs to be admitted has money or not. What the patient needs, the patient gets #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @helenvmadamba In addition, even if it is "cheaper" or "free", each patient gets the same high quality of care from the providers. #universalhealthcoverage #HealthXPH | |

JR Ong @jrong13 #healthxph | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @jrong13 Still don't know the specifics of the UHC Law. It will be helpful if these changes will be lectured to med students #HealthXPH | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl #HealthXPH #UHCDay Also in Canada, access to healthcare differs across regions⤵️ We have 37 million people across a land mass of 9.985 million km² So ppl in urban areas have greater access to healthcare than folks in remote areas = Not equitable, in terms of bioethics' justice https://t.co/GrwTR8GgWT | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon Hello #healthxph! Katy here from Boston on #UHCDay. I am just selecting my healthcare insurance for 2019 now. For USA the ACA Open Enrollment closes today at midnight. | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @drdrlads We hosted a forum, but in UST :-D. Will try to bring it to UP. #HealthXPH #UHCDay https://t.co/mSbHn9bcSy | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon RT @jrong13: Here's T1. What is #UniversalHealthCoverage for you? #HealthXPH #UHCDay https://t.co/XJkie7preX | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @helenvmadamba @SandraWoodsMtl Yup. Our Department of Medicine set up Sagip Buhay (Save Life) foundation so trainees don’t have to spend their salaries for the needs of the patients. #healthxph It is better now. | |
HealthXPh @HealthXPh T1. UHC is equitable access to healhcare for everyone. #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: @drdrlads We hosted a forum, but in UST :-D. Will try to bring it to UP. #HealthXPH #UHCDay https://t.co/mSbHn9bcSy | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @SandraWoodsMtl The same is true in Philippines. People from provinces esp geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas. Majority of specialists practice medicine in the urban areas #HealthXPH | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon So sorry I am late to #healthxph! I will be lurking while sorting out insurance options. | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl So where does the government get funding for universal health care? Is SinTax funds enough for this? #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 We need to emphasize also that #uhc, in our country, does not mean everything will be free. Of course, all services, technology, drugs will be assessed if government will fund these. Also, accessible does not mean "free". #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @khanlon Hi Katy! I hear from colleagues there that insulin cost is prohibitive without insurance. #healthxph | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @jrong13 Great! Hoping we can also have it in UP. Thanks Doc! #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 RT @HealthXPh: T1. UHC is equitable access to healhcare for everyone. #HealthXPH | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @ohitsmiko @jrong13 @endocrine_witch #healthxph #UHCDay Keep in that Canada's "universal healthcare" doesn't include medications! Only the ones administered in hospital - or some government clinics - are covered. At-home meds covered in some areas but not in most, and coverage often has a % to be paid by patient https://t.co/H0Q5Ztpyqk | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads RT @jrong13: We need to emphasize also that #uhc, in our country, does not mean everything will be free. Of course, all services, technology, drugs will be assessed if government will fund these. Also, accessible does not mean "free". #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @ohitsmiko @jrong13 Please expound bit about this. We do struggle to provide CARE on a daily basis, even in govt hospitals. #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 Subsidized? #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 We are having a good discussion tonight. T2 coming up! #healthxph | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon @endocrine_witch Yes, there is quite the struggle between cost for patient and profits for pharma companies #marketdriven #healthxph | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @drdrlads Hi there Lads! #healthxph how's it going so far? | |
Millenial MD @md_millenial UHC Is no citizen will die without seeing a healthcare practitioner.. In the vernacular... "mamatay ka na lang d ka pa makakakita ng doktor" UHC is Health Services at Arm's Reach #HealthXPH #UHCDay #UniversalHealthCoverage | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch Not all will be free. Probably yes. A new unit, the STEP (Sentro ng Pagsusuri ng Teknolohiyang Pangkalusugan) will do all health technoogy assessment. https://t.co/A3CTZtSler #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl @ohitsmiko @jrong13 I see. There are similarities in our current set up where PhilHealth can cover for hospital confinement but not outpatient consults or meds. #healthxph | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @helenvmadamba Hello Doc H! Rotating in OBGYN right now. Tiring but fulfilling! Highly considering this specialty as future practice #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @ohitsmiko Good that you bring that up. Since #UHC is ambitious, efficient use of finite resources is needed. #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 Yes HTA! Attended a conference a few years back on HTA in Singapore. That’s good to know. #healthxph | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @endocrine_witch #healthxph #UHCDay Canada's Health Act delegates management of healthcare to provincial/territorial level. History = Provincial goats would only agree to participate in national program if they retained control. So get $ from federal gov't & then duplicate work across country🤕 https://t.co/jVFYOPYOFY | |

JR Ong @jrong13 I know we're now discussing this, but here's our T2: What are the gaps in achieving #universalhealthcoverage? #HealthXPH https://t.co/0NXUptb9ib | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @md_millenial I agree. Universal Health Coverage does not only mean "insurance": it also means accessible health care services, and with high quality regardless of your socials status. #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch We have now one here! #HealthXPH | |
AIHO @AIHO_PH RT @jrong13: @md_millenial I agree. Universal Health Coverage does not only mean "insurance": @md_millenial I agree. Universal Health Coverage does not only mean "insurance": it also means accessible health care services, and with high quality regardless of your socials status. #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl The Philippines has had some issues with devolution of healthcare to local govt units too. Our current President is pushing for federalism. I don’t know what the impact of that shift from a republic, will be for healthcare #healthxph | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc RT @jrong13: @md_millenial I agree. Universal Health Coverage does not only mean "insurance": @md_millenial I agree.

Katy Hanlon @khanlon Today’s topic is timely. I am rather stressed by choosing between $800/month and $2.5K deductible and $400/month with no deductible but limited med coverage. Either are way over my budget and a great stressor. #UHCDay #UniversalHealthCoverageNow #healthxph | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @jrong13 @endocrine_witch When is this conference? #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 retweeting this again. This is the main challenge. #Universalhealthcoverage is a political one. We need buy in from our leaders. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl T2 #HealthXPH #UHCDay Probably the biggest gap will be the one between the expectations & the reality of what can really be funded by government For patients & public, but also physicians! #Healthcare budgets are never limitless, and gov't will have to make difficult choices... https://t.co/OHGb3VScVp | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @ohitsmiko So far, we do have no balance billing for truly indigent patients. #HealthXPH | |
viktoria valera @salingpusalang May not be part of the topic tonight, but what I want to know is this — are u guys in favor of the clause in UHC stating that only generic names can be written in the Rx; strictly no brand names 🙂 #healthxph | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @khanlon Oh ... how does one decide 🤔? That’s a dilemma indeed. #healthxph | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: retweeting this again. This is the main challenge. #Universalhealthcoverage is a political one. We need buy in from our leaders. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |

JR Ong @jrong13 t2: personally, the challenge I expect is the acceptability of the #universalhealthcoverage for the providers. In #UHC, bringing down the cost of healthcare will be one of the strategies. #healthxph | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @ohitsmiko It's so difficult to retrieve health data in the Philippines. Paper based. We dont have updated epidemiologic data because majority of health data are not being studied and analyzed. #HealthXPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc #HealthXPh @jrong13 | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @drdrlads Yey! Ofcourse with role models like Dr Faye Cagayan, Dr Lee Clark, Dr Cecilia Llave and Dr EJ Domingo, OBGYN should be one of your options... Especially considering the research that can be done in this field #healthxph | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @jrong13 Does this mean there will be a suggested professional fee for all primary care providers? #HealthXPH | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon @jrong13 And supporting grassroots efforts by communities and health professionals to make it happen. #healthxph #UHCday | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @salingpusalang There will have to be exceptions for me as an endoc. In particular, hormone preparations like l-thyroxine where absorption may differ between brands. #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 t2. I agree. It is difficult to implement #UHC strategies and activities if we don't have available, timely, and accessible public health data. #uhcday #healthxph | |

Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @drdrlads @ohitsmiko #healthxph #UHCDay T2 Its the same in many areas of Canada. Our healthcare system largely runs on paper & faxes. And often NCR paper🤯 https://t.co/OK3Mk1TblP | |
Lawrence Sherman @meducate @bonedoc @jrong13 Thanks, Remo #healthxph | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon @ohitsmiko Agreed! It honestly leaves one deciding between housing, food, and healthcare. #healthxph #UHCDay | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @drdrlads Not only the professionals, but also the facilities. In the upcoming #UHCLaw, Philhealth (PH health insurance) will accredit networks, not facilities. Also, we'll shift to prospective payment (vs present case rate). #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @SandraWoodsMtl @ohitsmiko @jrong13 @endocrine_witch This is also the same in the present set up with our Philippine health insurance. Inpatient is provided for, but outpatient costs is not..., #HealthXPH | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads RT @jrong13: @drdrlads Not only the professionals, but also the facilities. In the upcoming #UHCLaw, Philhealth (PH health insurance) will accredit networks, not facilities. Also, we'll shift to prospective payment (vs present case rate). #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @amarcelo just recently introduced me to https://t.co/LSltW45s1t which may be useful #healthxph | |

JR Ong @jrong13 @meducate @bonedoc In #UHCLaw, I believe there is more emphasis on primary care. Our Department of Health will be in charge of public health programs, while the "new Philhealth" will be in charge of individual care financing. #HealthXPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc #HealthXPH | |
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd T2. A concern in our country's UHC bill is funding. Currently, patients rely on various financial assistance aside from Philhealth. The fear is funds may not be enough to fund UHC. #HealthXPh | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon @endocrine_witch I don’t know, Iris. Neither is really doable. The less expensive option doesn’t cover the meds I need which will leave me deciding paying bills or prescriptions. #thehonesttruth #healthxph #UHCNow | |
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO What I find frustrating about healthcare right vs privilege debate: doesn't address there are many different kinds of rights (if a right, then what kind is it? see https://t.co/pBDDaCLUpE ), even privilege is a kind of right! Recently part of discussion group on this. #HealthxPH https://t.co/er7ZXgibFn | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @cebumd Hi Doc. thanks for joining us! Indeed, the financing for #universalhealthcoverage is always a challenge everywhere. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |
🇵🇭 Hannah @k4tc4rl0 RT @bonedoc: #HealthXPH | |

Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @jrong13 @meducate @bonedoc Who will be eligible to be primary care providers under UHC? Med students usually equate family med to primary care. Can specialists serve as primary care providers too? #HealthXPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc @jrong13 I hope this will be clear from the start before implementation. It adds up to the confusion that #UHC is free healthcare for all #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: @meducate @bonedoc In #UHCLaw, I believe there is more emphasis on primary care. Our Department of Health will be in charge of public health programs, while the "new Philhealth" will be in charge of individual care financing. #HealthXPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc Good question @drdrlads #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @jrfln While I think all of us agree that health is a right, not all of us act on it. And yes, this is still a gap for #UHC. #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 T3 is coming up! #HealthXPH | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon RT @jrong13: @jrfln While I think all of us agree that health is a right, not all of us act on it. And yes, this is still a gap for #UHC. #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @salingpusalang There is already a generics law so that govt physicians cannot prescribe brand names so that the patients CAN CHOOSE what meds to buy based on their budget. #healthxph there is also the tricky issue about MD-pharma relationship and patients have to pay. | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @ohitsmiko What I know is that in the future PH health system, primary care is given an emphasis. #healthxph That includes changing the medical curriculum to emphasize primary care. @drdrlads @endocrine_witch #HealthXPH | |
Millenial MD @md_millenial #HealthXPH, #UHCday, #UniversalHealthCoverage | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc although I would prefer not just primary HC but "appropriate care. #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @drdrlads @jrong13 @meducate @bonedoc Good question Lads! Currently, as an endoc I serve as primary physician (sort of like a captain for the healthcare team) for many persons with diabetes. #healthxph | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @khanlon @endocrine_witch Sending #healthxph hugs!!!! Am in Canada with a (recent) #raredisease #Invisibleillness & can't imagine having to go through that in the US health insurance system... https://t.co/jd8x8nziLD | |
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO I don't argue healthcare is not a right. However, healthcare-is-a-right argument could benefit from being more specific. Turns out that philosophers distinguish among DOZENS of kinds of rights. (Perhaps grist for future #HealthXPH tweetchat?) | |
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd @jrong13 Dialysis patients for example are quite concerned what will happen to them with single source of funding only. #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @helenvmadamba @salingpusalang Since funding for #universalhealthcoverage is always a challenge, efficient use of resources therefore is necessary. In our future #UHCLaw, I believe there is also provision on centralized bulk purchasing, aiming to lower the cost of medicine, devices. #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba Gaps in UHC: 1. Funding for supplies, infrastructure, equipment. 2. Lack of healthcare providers 3. Lack of public awareness re UHC 4. Discourse on the roles of EACH stakeholder in the flow of health service delivery #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 T3 is up! As an individual, how can you help to achieve #universalhealthcoverage? #HealthXPH https://t.co/vWtjz8MC1A | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @drdrlads The UP College of Medicine has always had a community orientation. But many of our students are attracted to become specialists. We also need role models. Most of the faculty are specialists. #healthxph | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc #HealthXPH | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon @SandraWoodsMtl @endocrine_witch Oh no! Take care Sandra! I am also glad you are not here to have to deal with the extra burden of health insurance expenses and complications. #healthxph #UHCDay | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @jrong13 @md_millenial Yes, but right now, Philhealth is a step towards UHC. #HealthXPH | |
HealthXPh @HealthXPh T3 is up #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @SandraWoodsMtl @khanlon @endocrine_witch Thanks for being with us Sandra! get well soon! #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch RT @jrong13: T3 is up! As an individual, how can you help to achieve #universalhealthcoverage? #HealthXPH https://t.co/vWtjz8MC1A | |
JR Ong @jrong13 T3: #1 perhaps is to make ourselves informed. What is #universalhealthcoverage? Given that we are having #UHCLaw, we need to actively participate in discussions to better understand the vision behind these interventions. #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @SandraWoodsMtl @khanlon @endocrine_witch Take care Sandra! Sending you hugs and kisses in return to brighten up your christmas season! #HealthXPH | |
Millenial MD @md_millenial T2. Hurdle Health Delivery system change Health seeking Culture Remodeled It's a good endeavor.... But we need all hands on board... To make this a reality #HealthXPH #UniversalHealthCoverage https://t.co/IJkNZoCQIW | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @meducate @bonedoc I agree. Most students want to pursue speacialty after med school. And specialists are still considered the glorified MDs while our frontliners, the family physicians, rural physicians not given enough recognition #HealthXPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc T3. Educating myself on UHCPh. Clarifying issues. Joining discussions. Giving the UHC law a chance to work. #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @SandraWoodsMtl @khanlon This is now a global group hug Sandra! #healthxph | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @md_millenial #healthxph #UHCDay T2 Are technologies like video/phone consultations being implemented? Video consultation being used in some remote areas of Canada, to connect primary care physicians with specialists; review possible dx & tx for several patients at once = Better/faster for pts https://t.co/ejcUdWrE8C | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @cebumd @jrong13 Hello there Buboy! #healthxph glad to see you got thru dialysis early! | |
Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd @SandraWoodsMtl @khanlon @endocrine_witch get well soon #HealthXPh | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @ohitsmiko This is I think the essence of service delivery network. In the future, gatekeeping will be implemented, and all Filipinos need to be registered in a primary care facility. #uhclaw #uhcday #HealthXPH | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl @drdrlads @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @meducate @bonedoc #HealthXPH #UHCDay That's probably true in most parts of the world! Definitely in Canada... | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads With UHC Law, do all patients need to be seen first by a primary care provider before they can be referred to a specialist? #HealthXPH | |
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO #healthXPH 5.

Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @drdrlads @jrong13 @meducate @bonedoc At an interview for fellowship applicants in endocrinology, one applicant said when asked why endoc as a subspec - to travel. 🤦♀️ #healthxph | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @drdrlads @endocrine_witch And supporting the use of new technology and remote monitoring such as thru telemedicine such that the limited number of primary care doctors can have the greatest impact. #healthxph | |
JR Ong @jrong13 t3: Also, inform our less-informed countrymen that health is a right, and they have the right to demand it from the government. (glorifying financial catastrophe due to illness must be a no-no). #HealthXPH | |

Narciso Tapia MHPEd @cebumd @helenvmadamba @jrong13 still late but able to tweet a few. #HealthXPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc She/he must be thinking about your broom dokBru #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @khanlon @ohitsmiko @drdrlads @endocrine_witch Yes I agree. We need to make healthcare accessible by all proven effective means! #HealthXPH | |
Katy Hanlon @khanlon RT @jrong13: @khanlon @ohitsmiko @drdrlads @endocrine_witch Yes I agree. We need to make healthcare accessible by all proven effective means! #HealthXPH | |
Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc @endocrine_witch @khanlon @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @drdrlads There are a few telemed initiatives with the @upmtelehealth #healthxph | |
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO I should get back to this project! #HealthxPH https://t.co/28ibXrCmZb | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @endocrine_witch @drdrlads @meducate @bonedoc I hope we have a "sad" emoticon here. #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @wareFLO Nice framework! A good read soon. #HealthXPH | |
Sandra Woods, CIPP/C; she/her @SandraWoodsMtl #HealthXPH #UHCDay Once universal healthcare coverage is in place, don't start going to clinic for everything you used to deal with at home = Hospital for band-aid for paper cut!! | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @endocrine_witch @khanlon @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @upmtelehealth Telerehabilitation of PGH Dept of Rehab Med, there is also Telecare for patients of PGH section of supportive hospice and palliative med. #HealthXPH | |

JR Ong @jrong13 t3. And, we need to be involved in actions in making our leaders accountable for our health. Again, #universalhealthcoverage is anchored on the principle that health should be for all. #HealthXPH #UHCDay | |
Chuck Webster MD, MS AI, MS Systems Engineering @wareFLO Interesting topic: Have a great rest of the weekend all! #HealthxPH | |
Remo Aguilar @bonedoc Last Q. Will specialist be required to render #primarycare under #UHCPh ? @jrong13 #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba We can learn how to communicate with other HCPs in our network to improve referral systems. In Central Visayas, we have started piloting our online referral systems, both up-referral and down-referral so that the patient receives appropriate care #healthxph | |

JR Ong @jrong13 @ohitsmiko Evidence-based approaches and interventions is necessary for efficient and effective implementation of #UniversalHealthCoverage activities and strategies! #HealthXPH | |
Millenial MD @md_millenial #HealthXPH 1) stir awareness Both to colleagues and patients alike.. 2) participate in public forums Especially if UHC bill will come into law... implementing rules and regulations will call on stakeholders 3) research on how ways we could make UHC work | |

Katy Hanlon @khanlon @drdrlads @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @upmtelehealth That all sounds wonderful! I plan to Google both. It is still underutilized here despite the growing exploration and use of virtual reality and artificial intelligence in healthcare. #healthxph | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba #HealthXPH these OBGYN residents get to communicate with different physicians within Central Visayas receiving referrals of patients needing tertiary care. Patients who can be handled at lower level of care will be downreferred so as not to congest the apex hospital. https://t.co/PIYXuTm78D | |
JR Ong @jrong13 @bonedoc Yes, they are needed in the service delivery. Most probably at the referral hospitals (or apex facilities). #HealthXPH | |
JR Ong @jrong13 It's now 10pm. We had a good discussion. Any parting words for tonight? #HealthXPH | |
Ourlad Tantengco @drdrlads @khanlon @endocrine_witch @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @upmtelehealth Telecare Program for Palliative Care patients usually through SMS. If need to send photos, through Facebook page of the Section. Palliative med fellows are the one answering questions from the enrolled patients #HealthXPH | |
Helen Madamba @helenvmadamba @drdrlads @endocrine_witch @khanlon @jrong13 @ohitsmiko @upmtelehealth We do hope that this can be rolled out to other areas so that telemedicine can assist in providing appropriate care for patients #healthxph | |
Raymond Francis Sarmiento, MD @rfrsarmiento RT @jrong13: Still in commemoration of International #UHCDay, let's discuss #UniversalHealthCoverage this Saturday, 9pm Manila (GMT +8:00), during the weekly #HealthXPH tweet chat.
