Public healthcare in the Philippines is often seen as slow, crowded, and lacking resources. But did you know your local health center offers many essential services for free?
In this episode, Hannah Grace talks to Dr. Cecille Francisco, a public health physician in Manila, about what Filipinos are missing out on: from free vaccines and HIV screening to family planning, mental health medicines, and more. Why do so many still pay out-of-pocket for services they can get free of charge? What keeps our public health system from working better, and what can we do to fix it?
Listen as we uncover the realities, clear up misconceptions, and highlight the hidden strengths of public healthcare in the Philippines.
This episode is engineered by Anthony Tobias. Jaemark Tordecilla is our editor-at-large.
