The Local Health Systems Awards is the Department of Health’s Avenue to realize our AmBisyon 2040, DOH vision of a society where every Juan and Juana is assured of quality, and affordable healthcare.
While the Department of Health holds the overall technical authority on health, the overarching goal of Universal Health Care can only be achieved through the collective efforts of all stakeholders in a whole-of-system, whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach.
It is in the context that the DOH Central Visayas Center for Health Development is conducting this 2022 Local Health Systems Awards to recognize the efforts, support, and exemplary practices of various stakeholders (LGUs, non-government organizations, academe, and private sectors) who have contributed to the achievement of health sector goals and objectives.
