Recalibrating the Multiyear Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan of the Philippine Department of Health

The Philippine Society for Responsible Parenthood (PSRP), in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), is supporting the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) to revise the Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan (CIP) to align with the DOH’s Devolution Transition Plan and Health Sector Strategy. This adaptation aims to improve the delivery of family planning services to meet evolving healthcare needs, closely coordinated with the Universal Health Care (UHC) framework.

PSRP is specifically:

    1. Reviewing the Family Planning (FP) financing component of the Costed Implementation Plan (CIP) by examining the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) benefit packages, which include Maternal Health, Family Planning, and Adolescent Pregnancy.
    2. Identifying challenges and offering recommendations concerning the Reproductive Health (RH)-related benefit packages in relation to the Universal Health Care (UHC) Implementation.
    3. Integrating the updated Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan (FP-CIP) into its work and financial plan (WFP) within the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau (DPCB) of the Department of Health, ensuring seamless alignment with its broader healthcare objectives and strategies.

Overall, PSRP aims to align the Family Planning Costed Implementation Plan with the DOH’s strategy to improve family planning services to meet changing healthcare needs, in line with the Universal Health Care framework for better healthcare access and services. By year-end, PSRP expects to achieve these goals for a healthier future.
