Sunday, 13 September 2020 2:10 pm

As consumers, you are confronted with a wide variety of attractive and well-advertised products, and in
most cases highly endorsed by popular personalities with the promise to improve health. You acquire
health information, purchase health products, and avail of health services to improve your health from a
wide variety of sources. It is, therefore, necessary to learn the value of being a health consumer.

Guidelines and Criteria in Selecting and Evaluating Health Information

It is one's duty to evaluate and examine the reliability of the sources. In this light, he/she must be an
educated consumer who makes wise selection of information, products, and services that are scientifically
proven and legally approved.

1. Reliability: who is/are giving the information?

2. Credibility: what is their reputation in the community and in the country?
3. Professionalism: what is their educational background?
4. Purpose: how is the info presented? Is it an educational and science-based or advertisement and
marketing gimmick?
5. Motivation: is it intended to improve health and well-being or for profit?

Health products are those substances, materials, or equipment prepared or manufactured for purchase
and use in the maintenance of health and the treatment of diseases. Health products are items that one
can consume to improve his/her well-being like medicines, clothes, among others.

• Food
• Medicines The proliferation of unregistered products in the retail market
• and Health including online shopping, whose quality and safety cannot be
• Devices guaranteed, is a serious threat to public health.
• Clothing

Health services refer to health actions, procedures, or work furnished or supplied to help satisfy your
needs and wants as a consumer. These are services and things people do to and for other people.
Examples are medical consultation, medical treatment, hospital confinement, health care, etc. Health
services are programs we avail from various providers such as physicians, nurses, therapists, health
workers, hospitals, clinics, and the government. Examples of these health services are insurance,
treatment and cure, and complementary and alternative medicine.

• Medical Consultation
• Medical Treatment
• Medical Prescriptions and Follow-ups

Health service providers in the Philippines vary from public, private, national, to barangay health
providers. However, most of the burden of health care is shouldered by private health care
providers.
1. Health professionals are individuals who provide preventive, curative, promotional, or
rehabilitative healthcare services in a systematic way to people, families, institutions, and
communities. A family physician is often the first medical professional seen by individuals or
families who need health attention and proper health management. They play a role in public
education and awareness. It is essential that they are familiar with the most up.
- Nurses: They often work in hospitals or outpatient facilities, where they provide hands-on care to
patients by administering medications, managing intravenous lines, observing and monitoring
patients' conditions, maintaining records, and communicating with doctors.
- Doctors: They provide diagnosis, and treat patients who are suffering from diseases and injuries.
They can be primary care physicians, or they may specialize in a particular area of medicine such as
internal medicine, emergency medicine obstetrics and gynecology, neurology pediatrics, geriatrics,
psychiatry, endocrinology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology, or cardiology.
- Dentists: They provide diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions
of the oral cavity and of adjacent and related structures and tissues.
- Medical Technicians: They are allied health professionals who analyze and test body fluids and
tissues. This includes blood, urine, synovial fluid, all types of tissue samples, and almost any type of
sample removed from a patient for testing. They ensure that laboratory results of each patient are
accurate and timely.

Health Page 6
 accurate and timely.
- Pharmacists: They dispense prescription medications to patients and offer expertise in the use of
prescriptions. They also may conduct health and wellness screenings, provide immunizations,
oversee the medications given to patients, and provide advice on healthy lifestyles.
- Physical Therapists: They diagnose and treat individuals of all ages, from the newborn to the oldest
who have medical problems or other health-related conditions that limit their abilities to move and
perform functional activities in their daily lives.
- Nutritionist Dietician: They are regulated health care professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and
treat nutritional problems. They are experts in human nutrition and the regulation of diet. A
dietitian alters their patient's nutrition upon their medical condition and individual needs.

The Department of Health (DOH)-Health Human Resource Development Bureau (HHRDB) said the
country only has 3.5 doctors for every 10,000 population—a far cry from the ideal ratio of 1 to 1.5
doctors for every 1,000 population. The number even gets smaller in areas served by public doctors
with an average of 3 doctors for every 100,000 population.

2. Health facilities are places that provide health care. They include hospitals, clinics, outpatient care
centers, and specialized care centers such as birthing centers and psychiatric care centers. When
choosing a health facility, consider the following:
- The quality of facility. Some facilities do better jobs and give better services than others. One may
look at the track record developed by the health agency and consumer groups.
- The distance from your house or workplace.
- The health provider is affiliated and accredited.

3. Health care plans and financing systems (PhilHealth, Health Maintenance Organizations, private
health insurances) are only few of the health insurance companies or health maintenance
organizations (HMOs) operating with license from the Insurance Commission (IC).

Either the HMOs sell the health cards to the public or given as a health benefit by employers to
their employees in addition to the PhilHealth card. This can be availed by self-employed individuals
for themselves and their families and use it for medical checkups and/ or hospital confinement. The
HMO card will shoulder the medical bills up to a certain limit depending on the premium paid. The
HMO card is annually renewed with a required renewal premium.

DOH to Revisit and Amend Magna Carta of Public Health Workers

Under RA 7305, public health workers are entitled to benefits, including subsistence allowance, laundry
allowance, longevity pay, and higher salary grade upon retirement, among others. Since its passage in
1992, however, successive governments have failed to fully provide for the payment of all the benefits
prescribed in the law. Not all government agencies are implementing the law nor is it being fully
implemented among agencies that have adopted the legislation due to insufficiency of funds. Its
monitoring of policy implementation has been generally weak. The Department of Health through its
department head issued a directive instructing the department to revisit and amend the Magna Carta of
Public Health Workers after the killing of Dr. Dreyfuss Perlas, Medicine Class 2011. Dr. Perlas was a
volunteer doctor who served under the government's "Doctors to the barrio" program. The senseless
killing that happened last March 2017 in Barangay Maranding Annex not only brought grief to the family
and friends, but also threatened the health and well-being of his constituents he has served for so long. It
also dramatized the current plight of doctors and health workers who face hazards while performing their
duties to the Filipino people. The directive seeks to reinforce benefits and security provisions that could
ensure the safety and protection of health workers, particularly those deployed in hardship posts in
geographically isolated and depressed areas, and localities identified as high risk for violence. In
developing countries, particularly in the barrios, health workers face the challenge of being overworked
yet being underpaid, oftentimes subsisting on meager salaries that are insufficient to support a family.

Tuesday, 22 September 2020 7:59 am

What is the importance of advertisements in terms of consumer responses?

- Advertisements help you get a general introduction of the product, though often exaggerated.
It shows the uses and benefits of certain products, and makes you want to buy the product to
try for yourself, thus making it important for consumer response.

2.Why is it important to seek professional help in terms of health services?

- People with no knowledge on human health would not know what's wrong with themselves.
But when you go ask professional, they would know what's wrong right away. If you felt sick
and refused to go to a doctor, the sickness could get worse and you wouldn't know how to
treat yourself.
3.What would life be without health workers?
- It would be really hard in a situation like right now. During this pandemic, health workers have
been doing all that they can to stop and help us prevent/treat the virus. If we did not have any
health workers in this kind of issue, many people would be dying.

they are able to afford and provide for the incoming child and they will be able to choose how many
children they want.

maternal care- this law aims to provide the necessary services and basic care to mothers who need
it. As well as to decrease the maternal deaths caused by unattended child birth which is very
common when one cannot afford the necessary services.

some disadvantages

Thursday, 4 February 2021 9:44 AM

A. Family Planning/Contraception
- Family Planning allows people to attain their desired number of children and determine the
spacing of pregnancies and achieved through the use of contraceptive methods and the
treatment of infertility
- promoting family planning and ensuring access to preferred comusicntraceptive methods for
women and couples are essential to secure the well-being and autonomy of women, while
supporting the health and development of communities
- PH ranks third in terms of pregnancy with a birth a rate of 51.6% among women ages 5-10

Aims to achieve the following:

 Preventing pregnancy-related health risks in women.
 Reduction of infant mortality
 Help prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS.

B. Tobacco Smoking
- has a tremendous social and economic impact on the health and well-being Filipinos
particularly those in poor communities
 Tobacco use has long been found to be a major contributor in heart attacks, cancers
(lung, larynx, mouth, and pancreatic), strokes, and pulmonary diseases. Smoking causes lung
disease by damaging the airways and the small air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. Lung diseases
caused by smoking include COPD, which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
 Studies have also shown that smokers have shorter lifespan than nonsmokers, making
them more susceptible to diseases than the people who do not smoke.

a. Smoking leads to disease and disability and harms nearly every organ of the body.
b. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung disease, diabetes, and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic
bronchitis.
c. Secondhand smoke causes stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults
while it increases risk for acute respiratory infections, severe asthma, and slowed lung
growth among children.

C. Dangerous Drug Use and Addiction

- there are many risks and dangers involved when using drugs; people may experience
problems because of other people's perceptions and responses

with what is not environmentally sustainable by also the spread of consumerism in cultural
aspects
- can be appreciated in economics since the standard of living is valued by one's material
possessions and impacts the following:

Health Page 28
  A variety of health goods and services to choose from.
 More comforts for a better lifestyle.

Material prosperity may be there in consumerism but it has negative effects on the people and
society at large. Among these are the following:

related tensions.
 Personal relationships get affected as people are busy trying to earn more to maintain
their standard of living.
 Consumerism results in ecological imbalances. Global warming results in health problems.
Industrial pollution is affecting people in many ways.

A. MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs)

- changed the way we think and talk about the world.
- have contributed to major increase in development assistance, such as 66% jump in official
development assistance (ODA), between 2000 and 2014.
▪ More aid has flowed into education and public health while also being directed toward poorer

larger in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries.
▪ In the US State Of Arizona, hospital admission for asthma dropped by 22% after a year of
strong smoke-free legislation including bans on smoking in workplaces and public places.
▪ Scotland saw a 13% annual decrease in childhood asthma admissions after the introduction of
smoke-free law.
▪ Increases On tax revenues is seen in countries such as the Philippines, Costa Rica, Finland,
France, Mauritius, Mexico, New Zealand, Turkey, Uruguay, among others, to reduce tobacco
use and sustainably fund these interventions through domestic resource mobilization.

increase taxes by as much as 340%. Of the P71.6 billion revenues generated from the Sin Tax
Law in 2013 alone, 85% were earmarked to the country's Universal Health Care Program. This
enabled the government to subsidize the health insurance premiums of 14.7 million poor
members in 2014, almost tripling the 5.2 million members registered in 2013.

C. GLOBAL MENTAL HEALTH ACTION PLAN

- WHO has called for the closure of long-stay psychiatric institutions to replace them with
community-based residential facilities and short-stay psychiatric wards in general hospitals.

them to fulfilling lives. Most persons with mental disorders experience lower educational
attainment, high unemployment rate, homelessness, poverty, isolation,
and disintegration in the community. Services need to support them at the different stages of
their lives. Through this, employment, housing. education, and engagement in community
activities and programs are gradually achieved.
- active involvement and support of users are necessary so that care and treatment are more
responsive to their needs.

▪ Coordinate monitoring of alcohol-based harm and the countries' progress in addressing it
- International public health advocacy and partnership are needed strengthened commitment
and abilities of government and all parties at all levels for reducing harmful use of alcohol
worldwide.

E. GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR VACCINES AND IMMUNIZATIONS

- Over the past three decades, major reduction in vaccine preventable diseases due to GHIs to
improve access to new vaccines and health system improvements. Nevertheless, many
countries coverage rates remain inadequate because of poverty, income, gender,
location, and culture.
- introduction of new vaccines have many positive impacts on both the immunization and
health systems.
- However, impacts may vary depending on the strengths and weaknesses in the existing health
systems. type and relevance of service in a given set socioeconomic, and institutional and
cultural circumstances.
- New vaccines could help reduce the number of deaths in children, namely. hepatitis B.
influenza. and anti-pneumonia vaccines.
