Household OOP payment share to current health expenditure Philippines 2014-2021
In 2021, the household out-of-pocket (OOP) payment accounted for approximately 41.5 percent of the current health expenditure in the Philippines. The share of the out-of-pocket expenditure of Filipinos on the current health expenditure had been gradually declining 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.
