Health Systems Impact of COVID-19 in the Philippines Diana Beatriz S. Bayani and Soon Guan Tan Abstract Lockdowns and policy actions to curtail the transmission of COVID-19 have widespread Health system , economic, and societal impacts. Health Systems of low-to-middle-income countries may have fewer buffering resources and capacity against shocks from a pandemic. This paper presents a preliminary review on the collateral Health Systems Impact of COVID-19 in the Philippines through review of academic and grey literature, supplemented by a qualitative survey. Community quarantines alongside transport and boarder restrictions have universally impacted Health service access and delivery, affecting patients requiring specialist care the most. Existing record-keeping and surveillance measures were hampered as existing resources were tapped to perform covid - 19-related tasks.
Over the past year we partnered with research institutions in Kenya, the Philippines, South Africa, and Uganda to document, from a whole-of-health perspective, what we know about the nature, scale, and scope of the disruptions to essential health services in those countries, and the health effects of such disruptions.
