Total Health Expenditures grew by 8.3 percent in 2018

Published by Philippine Statistics Authority(PSA) on Feb. 20, 2020.
Requested from PSA by A. Millar at 05:29 AM on Feb. 20, 2020.
Purpose: Research
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2018 - 12/31/2018
Tracking no: #PSA-041614253108

A.MILLAR Feb. 20, 2020, 5:29 a.m.

PSA press release on the 2018 PNHA (https://psa.gov.ph/pnha-press-release/node/144466) states "More than half of OOP (50.1 percent) amount". Tables 1-13 in the website do not seem to reflect this. May I request for the breakdown of OOP to show spending for pharmaceuticals, among others? I also did not find breakdown of "pharmaceuticals" in the technical notes. How do we define pharmaceuticals? How much was spent for medicines and how much is for others (supplies, and other items covered by "pharmaceuticals" if any)? Pls email. Thanks
