Poverty can easily be blamed for this, but another reason is the continuous migration of health workers abroad in search of better pay.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) report, only 50 percent of the total Philippine population of more than 84 million have access to health care. This despite government efforts to provide health care services to every Filipino.
