For context, always refer to the full article.The Department of Health ’s announcement in the 2nd National Health Sector Meeting to build 28 primary care facilities by 2028 under the Bagong Urgent Care and Ambulatory Services has been received with much optimism.
In light of the planning for constructing BUCAS facilities from 2024-2028, we offer recommendations to ensure that the infrastructure will address the healthcare needs of the marginalized. The plan targets to create 28 facilities for the 28 million poor Filipinos. However, based on the monthly poverty threshold of P13,797.00 in 2023, the number of poor families is 25.24 million.
The DOH’s Philippine Health Facility Development Plan mapped and constructed primary care facilities in each province using the following considerations: land and building availability, accessibility to transportation, land topography, access to utilities, level of hazard, and socio-economic situation. Developing similar parameters to better situate BUCAS centers is imperative.
