Public Health on the Brink of Death The Philippine public health system is on the brink of death, with the
government spending less than a peso for the health of every Filipino
each day while up to 50 percent of the national budget is automatically
earmarked as payment for onerous debts. Result: doctors, nurses and
other health professionals, working for low wages in hospitals with
substandard facilities, have been fleeing the country in droves in
search of greener pastures. The worst affected, in the end, are the
people, who are deprived of adequate health care - a basic social
right.
Salungguhit literally means to underline; figuratively, to underscore
or highlight.
