The problem is that you have leaders who view medicine as merely "diagnosing diseases and prescribing medications" (hence, the obsession with numbers). THE SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTANT!

Cynthia Villar is not alone in her disdain for science. Here are three reasons why many of our politicians hate research:

-It will expose how misguided their policies are

-It will betray their lack of qualifications

-It will reveal their role in why our country remains poor

This is how the government values our professionals:

Engineer I (SG12) 22,938/mo.

Medical Officer I (SG14) 27,755/mo.

"How's your heart?", I asked my patient, referring to his abnormally slow heart rate.

The 18-year old male let out a sigh. "Still in love."

Guess where our government officials go when they (or their partners/children) need to be confined in a hospital? Of course not PGH. Pero pag driver/maid/kusinera nila? Siyempre PGH. Charity service pa. 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/d0MUF41cqi

@genenisperos the Local Governments are equally responsible for this mess. Hello RA 7160. LGUs who failed to deliver the mandate of the law should also be held accountable.

The resurgence of measles and the return of polio: how TF did we get here?

Why the dominant discourse is flawed and needs to be reframed.

No, Bato, hazing doesn’t produce “warriors”.
Hazing breeds torturers who think “loyalty” and “fealty” are synonymous with grovelling and that the only way to ensure the same is via coercion and abuse.

immunization has been problematic for the Philippines ever since. our EPI has not been very successful. nationally, we have been reporting FIC rates below standard. its more than just waning of vaccine confidence. supplies and delivery are culprits we have yet to address

2005-2015 saw the 🇵🇭 maintain high numbers of stunting prevalence (upwards of 30%). We already know this: stunting is PROLONGED undernutrition > prolonged cognitive impairment > dulled functional adaptation > economic/productivity losses

Got this on Facebook. Your thoughts? Do you concur based on experience and observation?

To commemorate and honor the memory of UP's best and brightest who struggled against dictatorship and despotism, the University opens this year’s #UPDayofRemembrance2019 with the theme, “Dambana ng Paggunita at Pagtutuos sa Batas Militar ni Marcos.” #NeverAgain #NeverForget

A LOT can be legislated in healthcare:

- more budget for public hospitals
- more LGU spending on health
- increased salaries and better conditions for health workers
- more public health programs
- regulated drug prices
- reversed devolution

Instead, Congress legislates BEGGING

Don't travel alone. Life is a bumpy ride, with lots of twists and turns.
If you get knocked down, you need someone beside you to help you stand up again.
And when you get tired and want to give up, your companions will pull you to your feet. Select friends who make you better.
