“In an effort to improve the implementation of the Universal Health Care program, we want the primary care to be owned and paid for by the Department of Health thru the additional fund appropriation by Congress and made available by the Department of Budget and Management. This [additional funding] should be on top or separate from the budget for insurance premiums,” Domingo said.
“Ang pinanggagalingan ng mental health conditions ay paghihirap sa pamilya, komunidad, mental health ng kanilang mga magulang, kawalan ng pagkain o tirahan, pagkakaroon ng delikadong bahay. Tinitignan natin ang bata bilang pasyente, pero mas mabisang solusyunan ang mga sitwasyong ito na nagreresulta sa mental health state ng bata,” Domingo added.
A primary care mental health package being pilot tested in Metro Manila, the Central Luzon and Davao Regions has 12 psychosocial care consultations, diagnostics, psychological education, and psychosocial support. Meanwhile, Principal Rochelle Razo of the John Dewey School for Children agreed with Domingo that investing significant resources for children’s mental health was worthwhile.
