The outmigration of Filipino human resources for health (HRH) calls for policy
responses and implementation to achieve the production of an adequate number
of qualified health professionals that can serve the Philippine public and private
health care systems, as well as meet the international demand. The HRHN
Technical Working Group on Entry recognizes the policies already formulated and
the mandates of concerned national agencies to address persistent policy issues in
the education and training of health professionals and workers. But there is a
need for effective implementation, monitoring and evaluation. The TWG on Entry
proposes that clear administrative and operational policies be formulated to
monitor and evaluate competency standards in the curriculum and training
programs of institutions, in the licensure examinations, and the programs’
relevance to the health care service sector. To offset the outflow of Filipino health
professionals, the TWG on Entry proposes policy alternatives on foreign nationals’
medical residency in the Philippines, national service in health, scholarship
programs and ladderized training programs, to ensure quantity and quality of
health workers.
