ABSTRACT
@#The Universal Health Care (UHC) Act of the Philippines, signed into law in 2019, aims to provide a full range of health services to all Filipinos.1 However, its planned implementation was derailed with the COVID-19 pandemic. We observed a large variation in the pandemic response across regions and countries, highlighting the complex interplay of political, structural, economic, and cultural factors on health. 2 The Philippine national government implemented varying levels of community quarantine, risk communication, travel restrictions, testing and monitoring of at-risk individuals, and vaccination policies to control the pandemic, while the local government units (LGUs) were tasked to adopt and coordinate these policies in their communities.
