The loan funds will be provided for public and private health subprojects and can be used for both capital investments and working capital. The funds will be relent through (i) retail or direct relending to larger subprojects in the public and private sectors, and (ii) wholesale or relending through financial intermediaries to private sector smaller-scale subprojects. DBP will relend to subprojects for (i) improving quality of health services to attain health facility accreditation by the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC); (ii) addressing the gaps in access to basic health services (for communicable disease control, woman and child health care, clinical care, ancillary services, and generic drugs); and (iii) improving efficiency in health service financing and delivery through outsourcing, improving management systems, and other innovative strategies. PHIC accreditation can provide an added stream of resources. Partnerships can provide an opportunity for the public sector to address shortages in financial and human resources. |
