Abstract
There is a growing emphasis on the role of trade in health services (telehealth, medical
transcription, health tourism and retirement, investments and exports of medical
professionals). The Philippines has not made any commitments in removing barriers to
trade under the General Agreement on Trade in Services of the World Trade
Organization.
This paper seeks to identify the opportunities, barriers and risks for the
Philippines in participating in global trade in health services, examine the capabilities of
the country in engaging in trade, and identify strategic directions that the Philippines can
pursue. It presents the different market niches that can be tapped relative to the
opportunities which include: aging populations of the OECD nations, the shortage of
medical professionals in those countries, the long waiting lines in hospital facilities, the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of the US, and poor health care
systems in other countries. It also addresses certain issues related to institutional
structure, firm infrastructure, market niching and development, and human resource
development. A case study on the private hospital industry is presented to show the
structure, conduct and performance of this very critical provider in health tourism and
retirement.

BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION
There is a growing emphasis on the role of trade in health services in contributing to
health care financing and improving the quality, coverage and efficiency of health care
delivery and ultimately to economic development. Countries like Thailand, Chile,
Singapore and Malaysia (and Philippines as a new entrant) are embarking on aggressive
health tourism programs. The aging populations and shortage of nurses in the OECD
countries have opened up opportunities for the Philippines, South Africa and the
Carribbean economies to export health workers. For India, Pakistan and the Philippines,
business process outsourcing particularly in the form of medical transcription is proving to
be another growth area. On the other hand, the likes of the United States, Singapore and
Australia are at the forefront of utilizing telemedicine and expansion of their reputable
health care companies as growth drivers. Exportable health services are seen as means of
easing fiscal constraints, generating jobs and income, improving the infrastructure (number
and quality of health facilities) and upgrading the capacities of health professionals through
the utilization of export revenues. These earnings tend to cross-subsidize the provision of
better health care systems to the general need population. Ultimately, the export earnings
are expected to contribute to expanding the scope and improving the quality and cost of
delivery of health services to the general needy population as a strategy for sustainable
development. Such links however tend to be weakened by institutional failures (e.g. poor
corporate and public governance, lack of coordination among others).
The health care industry is composed of the health care delivery and health care
financing. The health care delivery or provider pertains to health care institutions that offer
and provide health services. Its primary aim is to maintain and operate facilities for health
prevention, promotion, treatment, diagnosis and care of people who suffer from various
diseases, illnesses, disabilities, as well as individuals who need other medical and nursing
care. It includes health care facilities such as hospitals and clinics, and health professionals
who give services such as medical doctors, nurses, dentists, and midwives.1 It essentially
involves where and how health services are administered and produced. On the other hand,
the health care financier’s main purpose is to provide financial support to individuals so
they can easily avail of health services from the providers. It involves how services are
financed.2 It does not only reduce the cost of care but it also contributes in increasing the
ability of individuals to secure health services.
These two, which are part of a complex system, are interdependent. The benefits
and services offered by the health care financiers involve the providers. For instance, these
give hospital benefits. Similarly, the financing system contributes to the services given by
the health care delivery. Because of their financial support, people have greater access to
the providers and are able to avail more of their services. Moreover, because one is
dependent on the other, policies which are directed to one part of the system also affects the
other in terms of its costs and benefits.3

Both the public and private sector have roles in the health care industry. A system
can both be financed and operated publicly, or it can be both privately financed and
delivered. Moreover, a system can be financed publicly but privately delivered, or it can be
the other way around where the financier comes from the private sector but the delivery is
from the public sector.4
The public providers give curative, preventive and rehabilitative services. These
government health facilities often cater to the low income groups. The private providers, on
the other hand, often offer services that are only rehabilitative and curative in nature. These
health facilities that are privately operated usually aim at the upper and middle income
groups.5
Health care financing has three major sources: government, private and external.
The government’s share is high in developed nations, ranging from 44% in the case of the
USA to as high as 83.4% for the United Kingdom (WHO 2004). The pressures of aging
populations, shortage of medical workers and fiscal constraints on delivering better health
care services have forced a number of governments to reform their national health systems
through organizational restructuring, decentralization, and improved management and
administration of the public health care system. There have been more conscious and
concerted efforts to allocate resources toward more cost-effective and efficient health care
services. In many cases, the private sector has been shouldering the bulk of health care
financing. This is particularly true in countries where governments lack the fiscal resources
(Table 1). External financing sources are a major source as well for a number of least
developed countries especially those in the African region..

The Philippine National Health Accounts (2003) estimated that government expenditures (including social
insurance) accounted for 40% of total expenditures in the year 2002 (closely approximating the WHO
figures). The shares of private sources and other sources were 58.6% and 2.8% respectively. In 2003, share
of government increased to 43.7% while private sources declined to 54.9%.

Draft Report
Still, governments seek to find alternative ways of financing health care. As
mentioned, trade in health services is strongly considered as another way by which the
objectives of health services sector can be achieved. As this paper will explore there are
still barriers related to national treatment and market access that need to be negotiated
between or among governments to give greater flexibility in the movement of consumers
and health care providers. At the multilateral level, the framework used in the negotiation
process is the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) which defines four ways
(modes of supply) by which countries can engage in trade, that is, cross-border trade,
movement of consumers, commercial presence and movement of natural persons. These
modes will be discussed further in the next chapter.
The Philippines has not made any commitments in removing barriers under any of
those modes under the GATS. However, it has been engaged in trade of health services,
primarily through the export of our medical professionals for more than a decade already.
To confirm the Philippine’s interest in pursuing opportunities related to health services
trade, the Arroyo administration has identified health tourism and IT-enabled services
(including medical transcription) as priority programs. Furthermore, it issued Executive
Order 372 that created a private-public partnership to formulate a development strategy for
three services sectors namely: Information and Communications Technology, Logistics and
Health and Wellness.
Given this background, this paper seeks to address the following questions:
(1) What are the opportunities and risks for the Philippines in participating in global
trade in health services?
(2) Why should the Philippines explore those opportunities? Does the Philippines have
a competitive advantage in health services exports? What are the implications on the
cost, quality and availability of health services in the Philippines?
(3) What are the key strengths and weaknesses of the Philippine health services sector?
(4) What are strategic directions that the Philippines can pursue in order to become
competitive particularly in relation to the various forms of regional integration?
Section 1 of this report defines the objectives and trends in the global healthcare
industry and presents an overview of health care financing in the Philippines. Section 2
presents the opportunities and risks in the global health services market and explores the
various modes of engaging in health services trade, empirical evidences and opportunities,
and barriers to trade. Section 3 is an assessment of the domestic capabilities of the
Philippines in participating in trade of health services. Lastly, Section 4 presents some
strategic directions and options for negotiations.

Trends in the Global Health Care
The health services sector is a major economic contributor to the gross domestic
product. Health expenditures account for 6 percent of GDP in India, more than 8 percent of
the OECD GDP and up to 15 percent in the United States (Table 2).

Trade in health services has been incorporated in national priority programs by an
increasing number of countries because of the opportunities brought about by rising
consumer health care expenditures and the demonstration effects of countries (i.e Thailand,
India, Malaysia) that have been successful in segments like health tourism. Health care
expenditures are estimated at US$3 trillion per year and with Asia’s health care market
accounting for 13% at US$390 billion (b). The US has the highest per capita spending of
US$5,274. The fast aging population of Japan spends US$2,400 per person, accounting for
77% of the regional market.7

Per capita spending on healthcare varies widely across developing and developed countries – as low as
US$0.3 per annum in North Korea (and US$5 in Nigeria) to as high as US$2,400 in Switzerland and
US$5,400 in the United States. In the Philippines, per capita health spending is $29 on average, ranked
number 141 out of 192 countries surveyed by the World Health Organization. Thailand has a higher per
capita spending of US$90. Yet, the amount of health spending is not directly correlated with health status, as
more health investment does not necessarily mean better health outcomes (World Bank 1993). For instance,
while the U.S. has the highest investment in health among the OECD countries, the country ranks 37 in the
world in terms of overall performance of the health sector (WHO, 2000).

Draft Report
On the demand side the higher expenditures are driven by8:
the aging populations in a number of countries
expanded reach of mandatory insurance schemes
emergence and/or discovery of new diseases
lack of incentives for patients to economize since health care is covered by most
insurance schemes.
On the supply side, the factors include:9
lack of incentives to relate the cost of treatment with the benefits
introduction of more expensive technologies
insufficient health care planning and unfocused treatment by doctors (WTO 1998)
Let us consider the aging population of a number of OECD countries which is a
strong force behind higher expenditures and active participation by developing countries in
trade. According to the United Nations the number of persons aged 60 years or older is
estimated to be 629 million in 2002 and is projected to grow to almost 2 billion by 2050 at
which the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children for the
first time in history. The majority of the world’s older persons reside in Asia (54 percent)
while Europe has the next share (24 percent).
By the year 2025, the number of people aged 60 and over will be highest in Japan,
Italy and Germany.10 Over in Japan, there are more than 20 million aged 60 and above and
the average life span of a Japanese is now 77.10 years for the male and 84 years for the
female as of 1999, the highest in the world.
In terms of demographics, Japan is the only developed country that is aging at a
very fast rate. In the year 2025, the proportion of those 65 and over will be highest in
Japan, followed by Italy and Hong Kong. Although the US will also be aging, in relative
terms, the US will be much younger than Japan. Table 4 presents the share of the senior
market in other industrialized countries.

Draft Report
As mentioned, countries are exploring trade in health services as potential sources
of revenue that can improve the government’s fiscal position and allow it to spend on
health care or engage the private health providers into expanding their revenue base and
therefore increase scope and efficiency and quality of health services delivery. Note
however that the link is not automatic because of possible failure of institutions ( i.e.
misallocation of revenues to other government priority programs).
Box 1. The Graying of Japan’s Population: Rising Demand for Long-Term Care
The market for long-term care is biggest in Japan today because of the rising cost of medical care
and the growing number of elderly in relation to the total population. An average Japanese spends US$2,400
annually in medical care, US$270 for average daily hospitalization cost, almost twice the average medical
spending in developed economies. With 20 million retirees having their regular medical check-ups or
treatment, the figure translates to a total of US$48B. The Philippines can export nurses and caregivers to
Japan if only the latter will finally open up its health services sector. A deployment program must be drafter
to prevent massive migration at the expense of the Philippine’s national health system. Another route is for
Japan to send its retirees to the Philippines via long stay and retirement programs (Padojinog and Rodolfo
2004) and thus provide employment and income opportunities for medical professionals locally. The long stay
program is deemed to be more feasible to market because it does not involve completely uprooting the
Japanese from their homeland. They can come here during the cold months and return to Japan during spring.
The supply of long-term care by the family can be expensive from the standpoint of both individual
and society (Seike 1998). Family members have to give up their work in order to take care of the elderly. The
opportunity cost is higher for those professionals who have acquired significant skills over the years.

Japan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare estimates that the number of elderly needing nursing care is over

plans to separate nursing services from existing medical care and institute a social insurance plan to cover the
former. Care workers have been in great demand in Japan especially in recent years. Since 1990, the number
of care workers has increased from about 40,000 to about 120,000 in 1996 and the increase has been about
10,000-20,000 new workers each year.

Health Care Industry in the Philippines
According to the WHO, the Philippines spent US$ 29 per capita on health services
(2.9% of the Gross Domestic Product) in 2002. Private hospitals and the health care
industry only incur a minimal contribution to GDP. This can be explained by the low
percentage share of health care expenditures to an average family’s expenditures. This
share amounts to only 2% to 3% of average income.

Draft Report
In terms of financing, the private sector has become the major provider in recent
years (Figure 2). One reason behind this is the fiscal constraints faced by the government.
The second is the apparent increase in the availability of private healthcare companies.
External financing is quite limited to donations by international agencies. In private
financing, a big portion is still financed by households as revealed by the proportion of out
of pocket expenditures to total private sector financing.
In 2002, of the total health expenditures, the government expenditures (including
social insurance) accounted for 40% of total expenditures (closely approximating the WHO
figures). The shares of private sources and other sources were 58.6% and 2.8%
respectively. In 2003, share of government increased to 43.7% while private sources
declined to 54.9%. Of the total private health expenditures, 1.34% came from private
insurance companies, 5.7% came from HMOs and 42.8% were out-of-pocket expenditures
by individuals. One can note that almost half of the health care expenditures were either
financed independent of any prepaid health care plans or were not sufficiently covered by
those plans.
Traditionally, the health care industry of the Philippines has been principally
financed by taxes and out-of-pocket payments of individuals. Nevertheless, various
financing mechanisms, particularly insurance and prepayment schemes, are continuously
increasing their contributions in the health expenditures of the country recently. Medicare,
the compulsory health insurance, is the most established of all insurance schemes because it
has been existing since 1972.

The actual percentage share of out-of-pocket which falls significantly above the
targeted percentage share from the health care reform agenda manifests the dependence of
the health care system on the household’s personal disbursements to be able to access
health care services. The Figure shows that the health care system is expected to develop
the capacity of social insurance to carry the burden of health care financing.

Draft Report
The targeted amount also increases other expenses for health care which includes
expenditures incurred either by public or private firms on the financing of health care which
includes research and development and manpower training. The plan targets an
improvement from the current 11% to 18%.
The plan does not concretize how an
improvement in the funds allotted for research and development and manpower training can
be achieved. The data provided by the National Health Accounts, however, shows that
these funds are usually sourced from official development funds which are coursed through
the National Government. The accounts do not reflect the purchases of private firms on
capital equipment.
The research and development funds, however, are targeted towards the
improvement of the facilities of government retained health care providers. Purchases of
private hospitals for equipment are directly targeted for the improvement of personal health
care services.
The major health care providers are hospitals, half of which are accounted for by
private hospitals and the rest by the government. The former’s ability to engage in social
services and their expansion programs are constrained by their relatively unhealthy
financial conditions. Private hospitals, for instance, have improved on productivity in the
past years but their capacity in terms of number of beds per population has not significantly
increased (see Case Study at the end of the paper). The public hospitals likewise need
upgrading of facilities.
There is a pressing need for the government and the country as a whole to invest on
education and healthcare in order to improve the quality of life of the population or our
level of human development in general. If financing coming from the local market
(particularly from government) is not currently sufficient the country can explore
opportunities from exporting health services. Thus, the next section examines the various
possibilities by which countries can engage in health services trade and considers the
barriers and risks including empirical evidences of such trade.

CHAPTER 2
Trade in Health Services
A.
The GATS Framework
There are various ways by which a country can engage in trade of health services.
The GATS of the World Trade Organization (WTO) provides the multilateral framework
for such participation by defining four modes of supply (Table 5). It should be noted that
the extent of trade in these modes of supply is not yet accurately captured by current
statistical system of the WTO where services are grouped only as travel, transportation,
communication and other commercial services.

Draft Report
In studying trade in health services, there are two important classification lists that
should be used as reference – the UN Central Product Classification List and the GATS
Classification List. The commitments of countries to liberalize the health sector are based
on Section 8 of the GATS List. However, in discussing the four modes of supply defined
above, we need to refer to both the UN CPC Division 93 and the GATS List. To illustrate,
Table 6 reveals that under the GATS, health and social-related services are defined under
Section 8. These include hospital services, other human health services, and social
services. However, trade in health services also covers the exports of medical professionals
which are not covered under the Section 8 but Section 1 (Professional Services) of the
GATS List. As noted by the WTO Secretariat (1998), such delineation between Sections 1
and 8 tends to ignore the strong complementarities between medical services and hospital
services as an example.

There are other issues related to the sectoral classification list of the GATS on
health services. Consider activities such as health tourism (spas, cosmetic surgery for
aesthetic purposes, and convalescent care and rehabilitation and use of local health services
by tourists). Section 8 is not specific to activities aimed at providing specialized treatments
to tourists. The use of spas can be categorized as Professional Services offered by
- 12 -
Draft Report
midwives, nurses, physiotherapists and para-medical personnel provided they involve some
treatment with a medical doctor located on the premises as some wellness programs do.
Given this background, the presentation of the four modes of supply will cover both
Divisions 1 and 8 of the GATS Classification List. These modes will emphasize the strong
linkages of Division 8 with other sectors such as insurance, tourism, telecommunication
and even financial services.
As far as health services are concerned, the export data are actually currently
reflected in various accounts. In the case of medical transcription or outsourcing, the
export figures are part of the communication services. For health tourism, the data are part
of travel. The revenues generated by medical professionals working abroad are reflected in
overseas workers’ remittances.
The next discussions define and present empirical evidences of trade in health
services under the various modes of supply. Opportunities and risks as well as barriers to
commercial trade are explored.
B.
Empirical Evidences and Barriers to Trade
Global demand for health services is estimated at US$12.5 trillion which includes
direct clinical services US$804.2 billion, professional back up services US$22.5 billion,
consumer health information related services $21.6 billion, continuing professional
education services of $3.9 billion, and management of health care delivery services of
$235.5 billion.11
B.1.
Cross Border Trade
Under this mode, trade in health services is aided by telecommunications.
Telehealth12 is the broad term used to describe the use of computer-assisted
telecommunications to support functions for clinical (e.g. telemedicine) and for non-clinical
purposes (e.g. management, surveillance, literature and access to knowledge).13
Telemedicine includes all forms of remote medicine such as teleconsultations,
telepathology, teleradiology, telepsychiatry, teledermatology, telecardiology etc. In 2000,
the Centre for International Business Studies in Alberta, Canada, estimated global demand
for telehealth services to be worth approximately US$1.25 trillion14
Telemedicine
The European Commission’s Healthcare Telematics Program (1996) defines
TeleMedicine (“medicine at a distance”)15 as the rapid access to shared and remote medical
expertise by means of telecommunications and information technologies (e.g. telephones,

fax machines, personal computers and other forms of multimedia), no matter where the
patient or relevant information is located. Information exchange takes the form of data,
audio and/or visual communication between physician and patient or between physicians
and between physicians and health care professionals in geographically separate locations
and to facilitate the exchange of information for medical, healthcare, research and/or
educational purposes. One of the more popular form is teleconsultation wherein patients
consult their physicians via email.
In the past, patients needed to physically travel to other countries to seek medical
attention or expertise. Medical records have to be physically transported to be diagnosed
by experts abroad. The advancements in information technology have reduced the cost of
such transactions by removing the physical barriers.
Telemedical projects are aimed at reducing transaction costs (Williamson
1985,1986) in the delivery of health services.16 Governments particularly in developed
nations tend to see telemedicine as way of reducing the burden on health care financing that
is often associated with high hospital-related expenses.
The benefits of telemedicine as a form of cross-border trade are well-recognized by
governments in rural communities in less developed countries where there is a shortage of
doctors in health centers.17 Doctors save on travel time (due to inadequate infrastructures
of telecommunications, roads and transport) and patients need not wait for a long time for
consultation. Telemedicine practice is also expected to help upgrade the professional
standards of the medical practitioners particularly those at the receiving end.
Most of the applications however are still within national systems of countries and
the flows of trade are largely from developed to developing countries because they possess
the technical and medical capabilities as well as standards of practice. It can also be
between hospital partners in both developed countries. Table 7 presents some empirical
evidences of telemedicine. For a more through literature review on the subject, one can
consult the relevant references from the International Telecommunications Union.18
However, some barriers exist for the commercialization of such trade. On the part
of developed countries, the providers need to consider the technical capability of the
personnel on the receiving end of the exchange and the compatibility of the available
technological infrastructure, particularly if it will be in the form of live video conferencing
or even the use of store-and-forward technology19. Accuracy is needed in the transmission
of images, data and electronic records. Disparities in standards of technology and
16
Williamson argued that transactions (exchange-related operations) are arranged with a view to minimizing
transaction costs. This refers to any expenditure, starting with the production of the goods or services and
extending to its delivery to the customer (end user).
17
For instance, in Nepal, there is an acute shortage of doctors. The total numbers of allopathic doctors are
4000 and majority of them are staying in capital and other major cities. The public and doctors ratio is
approximately 6000: 1. Health workers in rural health care, who serve most of the population, are isolated
from specialist support and up to date information. http://web.idrc.ca/fr/ev-61427-201-1-DO_TOPIC.html

Telemedicine providers have started to use the store-and forward methods that use the worldwide web using
softwares such as the TeleMedMail as an alternative to live video conferencing which can be very expensive.
This is a software application to facilitate the store-and –forward telemedicine by email of images from digital
cameras. It is written in Java and allows structured text entry, image processing, image and data compression
and data encryption.

operations may exist between the source country, for example, the United States and the
receiving country, the Philippines. Hence, internationally recognized standards are needed
for technological infrastructure (at varying levels) in order to enhance medical care
practice. These issues are being discussed in the workshops on standardizations of e-health
by the International Telecommunication Union. Technical assistance is needed by
developing countries where nodes for telemedicine may already exist but they lack
standards for medical devices, equipment, network or connectivity, software and guidelines
on processes or procedures. Such standardization should be developed in line with
internationally recognized standards in order to facilitate the globalization of the local
telemedicine industry.
Recognition of licenses and liability issues are major concerns as well. The WTO
(1998) noted that there are cases where telemedicine from country A to B is effectively
practiced but not from B to A (e.g. between the United States and Arab Countries). As far
as liability is concerned, there have been proposals to adopt solutions similar to those in
traditional medical services, that is, the liability belongs to the practitioner who received the
service (e.g. as in laboratory tests). While telemedicine seems to be an attractive alternative
for patients who want to consult with medical experts abroad, for example, Stanford
Hospital, it can still be expensive since telemedicine for the most part is not covered by the
existing insurance schemes yet. Thus, in many developing countries, telemedicine can only
be afforded by the rich citizens but can be made available to health facilities through
subsidies from governments, external agencies, telecommunications operators or even
hospital operators. Managed health care systems can possibly cover telemedicine as it
becomes more commercialized.
Tele-education or distance learning is also fast becoming as another mode by which
developed countries are able to export their health services to developing countries. The
flows can also be between developing countries.
Other barriers to trade in telehealth exist. These include: emotional barriers on the
part of the patients. Patients still prefer to be seen and physically examined by their doctors
for fear of being wrongly diagnosed.
Medical Transcription
For non-clinical purposes, specific examples include medical transcription
outsourcing or offshore medical reporting and business process outsourcing (e.g. insurance
claims and processing), laboratory testing and diagnosis and treatment; or surveillance of
disease patterns and trends. The trade flows are mostly from developing countries like
India, Pakistan and Philippines to the United States, the major market.
In the United States, for instance, the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) has stimulated an increase in demand for transcription by
physicians (although nurses and other medical workers are also in need of transcription) in
order to avoid malpractice lawsuits and facilitate insurance claims. Outsourcing medical
transcription can help reduce transaction costs for physicians (Box 2). India has been
recognized as a leader in this industry, accounting for almost 80 percent of the total demand
(as cited by DTI-ICT Report). The likes of Pakistan and the Philippines are seeking to
increase its share of the market but supply constraints, particularly in relation to human
resource availability and training, are major issues to be addressed.
- 15 -
Draft Report
For developing countries, some threats exist in relation to exploring the potentials
from medical transcription. One of these is the possibility of the US putting a cap on the
amount of business to be outsourced. The second is related to technological developments,
particularly the voice recognition technology which will likely threaten wherein the records
are automatically transcribed by the computer. Some consider such development as a threat
to the job opportunities in the MT industry.
B.2.
Consumption Abroad
Another way by which health services can be traded is to tie them up with tourism,
considered as a major growth driver in Thailand, India and Malaysia. In the past, the major
reasons for travel included leisure, business, conferences and others. If ever health reason
was cited, it accounted for only a small portion of the total pie of visitor arrivals. Today, a
growing number of tourists are traveling to destinations to mix leisure and pursuit of wellbeing (e.g. physical, emotional and even spiritual) or simply seek medical treatment. This
is health tourism. Another form of movement refers to students who study medicine and
other allied courses abroad. The two groups are discussed separately in the section.
Movement of patients
This mode of supply can be categorized into two: health tourism and retirement.
These two activities are very much linked with each other. To develop and promote
retirement, the market must first see and experience a destination and later consider it for a
longer visit or long stay program. Health tourism can be a pull factor by providing
information about the existence of amenities and support facilities in other destinations,
with priority given to medical amenities and facilities.20 After all, people’s decision to
migrate temporarily or permanently begins with their evaluation of current living
arrangements, including the availability and affordability of medical care. This evaluation
is influenced by triggering mechanisms, evaluation factors, and the type of move being
considered. Triggering mechanisms include both personal changes and external elements
that can be either positive (“pull” factors) as in the case of health tourism or negative
(“push” factors).

Box 2. The Medical Transcription Industry
The medical transcription industry had its genesis in the USA and was a development of three requirements
(US Bureau of Labor Statistics):
•
•
•
the need to maintain basic hospital data,
recording of data and medical procedures for research and
records for insurance purposes.
The US medical sector requires high level of documentation at each stage of the treatment in order for doctors
to avoid malpractice lawsuits. Thus, the medical transcription industry has been providing great support to
these medical practitioners. In the past this service was contracted out by hospitals and practitioners to
companies close to the health facilities. Compensation methods for medical transcriptionists vary. Some are
paid based on the number of hours they work or on the number of lines they transcribe. Others receive a base
pay per hour with incentives for extra production. Employees of transcription services and independent
contractors almost always receive production-based pay. Independent contractors earn more than
transcriptionists who work for others but have higher expenses than their corporate counterparts, receive no
benefits, and may face higher risk of termination than employed transcriptionists.
However, the relatively high cost of labor in the US encouraged hospitals and individual practitioners to
outsource transcription in developing countries like India, Pakistan and the Philippines. Aided by high speed
satellite links, the current practice is for doctors to simply record their findings through a dictaphone or some
such device These sound tracks are then sent through datacom lines to overseas companies (where costs are
much lower) that employ "medical transcriptionists" who hear these recordings, transcribe them into reports
(can be in Microsoft Word format) and send them back electronically through datacom lines.
The offshore medical transcription industry is estimated at US$17 billion for the US demand alone.23 That
translates to around 96 billion lines. Charges are based on the 65 character American Association of Medical
Transcriptionist (AAMT) line. In order to calculate a line, one can count all of the keystrokes transcribed,
including formatting such as underlining and bolding, then divide that number by 65 to calculate the number
of lines. The per line rate is dependent on the difficulty level of the dictation. Average charge per line can
range from 10 cents to 14 cents. 24 India is recognized as the market leader today where around 200,000 are
employed by the industry. Its competitiveness lies in the relatively low cost of labor plus its affinities with
Indian doctors based in the US. In the US, a transcriptionist receives around $11 to $18 per hour according to
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In annual terms, a full-fledged transcriptionist in the US receives U.S.$ 25,000
to 30,000 In India, the average annual salary is US$2,700 while in the Philippines, the average salary is
estimated at US$2,500-3,500 depending on the skills of the transcriptionist (Rodolfo 2005). India had the first
mover advantage when it started out earlier in the 1990s.
What is the future of medical transcription? There are fears that the voice recognition technology will ease
out the role of transcriptionists. They are valid fears but they there will always be room for manpower in this
industry given the size of the market demand and the rising needs of the elderly population and the time lag in
the implementation of technology. Also, transcription companies can integrate horizontally by providing
backroom operations for insurance claims processing, bills processing and other services needed by
practitioners.
Consider Japan. Older people are more prone to sickness and thus require regular
medical check up or special medical attention. The cost of living and medical care in Japan
is one of the highest in the world. This could put a lot of pressure on the limited pension of
around US$1,500 - $3,000 per month for an average Japanese retiree. For instance, an
average Japanese spends at least US$2,400 annually in medical care. The daily cost of
hospitalization in Japan is around US$800. Elderly people in Japan tend to stay longer at

4.1 days – much longer than the national average of 2.0 days. Since Japan has one of the
highest proportions of its population covered by private health insurance, the growing
number and cost of medical care of its senior citizens would ultimately place a lot of strain
on the pension and insurance systems of the country (Padojinog and Rodolfo 2004). Thus,
Japan can consider sending their citizens to developing countries like Thailand and the
Philippines for medical treatments that can be packaged with holidays.
Table 8 reveals the different market segments under health tourism and retirement.
Let us consider health tourism first.
Health Tourism
The term health tourism is used interchangeably with medical tourism in a number
of references. The World Tourism Organization defines health tourism25 to include services
related to medical care, sickness and well-being, and rehabilitation and recuperation. These
services range from holiday packages made up, for instance, of spa retreats, cosmetic
treatments, diagnostic services, Chinese herbal therapy, and even heart surgery. The term
“medical” tends to imply that people who travel for medical purposes are always sick.
Thus, to provide a more positive image for this segment, the term health tourism is more
often used (as evidenced by the marketing slogans of Thailand and Malaysia which use the
term “health” rather than “medical”). This market has been proven to be a high repeat-user
business, which has the ability to reach out to travelers of a higher socio-economic level,
resulting in a higher ratio of expenditure per visitor earnings and therefore realize a higher
volume of foreign exchange related to tourism.26
Given this background, we can therefore define three segments of health tourism–
spa wellness, medical wellness and rehabilitation.
25
Health tourism is a broader concept in the sense that it includes products and services catering to markets
seeking well-being or wellness, not necessarily in need of medical treatment.

The Spa Industry
This is one of the fastest growing segments of the health and wellness market. The
major players today are the United States, Canada, Austria, Thailand and Indonesia.
In Thailand, the spa industry attracted 3.3 million users out of which 2.5 million
were overseas spa patrons contributing a total of US$85 million to Thailand’s foreign
exchange revenues.27 In Europe, Austria is the first to have adopted the concept of wellness
and act upon it quickly. Germany, its major market, contributes an estimated 17-19 billion
Euros.
A major barrier in this segment is the air access infrastructure. Visitor flows are
usually constrained by the lack of flights due to the restrictive bilateral air service
agreements between countries. Air traffic rights are not part of the GATS framework on air
transport liberalization. Hence, countries still have to deal with their markets on a bilateral
basis although a number have already singed up in regional arrangements.
Medical Treatment
Countries that actively promote medical wellness include Cuba, Costa Rica,
Hungary, India, Malaysia and Thailand. Among the newcomers in the field are Belgium,
Poland, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Philippines. South Africa specializes in medical
safaris; visitors who plan to see the African wildlife can also add to their itinerary a visit to
the plastic surgeon.
Medical wellness can include simple activities such as consultations with specialists
in a particular medical field or diagnosis for second opinion. This can also cover noninvasive medical procedures such as simple cosmetic, dental or eye surgery (e.g. botox
injection, lasik for the eye, tooth extraction). The average period for recuperation for
cosmetic procedures is 2-7 days. These are the packages that are relatively easier to sell.
The other segment covers invasive procedures such as open heart and cancer-related
operations, knee and hip replacements. Countries that have gained international reputation
for highly specialized treatment are the United States and Singapore. In the past five years,
however, we have witnessed a number of developing countries wooing these patients to
avail themselves of similar procedures in their hospitals at lower costs. Their major selling
point is the cost advantage they can offer to international patients. The major players in
Asia are Thailand, India and Malaysia.
The major drivers of demand for these services are the aging population, shortage of
medical professionals, the relatively high cost of medical services in most OECD countries
and the long waiting lines in hospitals for treatment and surgery. The Asian market is a
large market given the relatively poor health care systems.
An inquiry into the cost advantage of those developing countries will reveal that a
cardiac by-pass surgery, for instance, costs more than US$90,000 in the United States and
US$20,000 in the United Kingdom compared to less than $5,000 in India and Thailand.

Who are the major players in this trade? Table 9 presents a summary of the major players’
market positioning in health tourism.
USA. The US is a major exporter of health services as evidenced by the relatively
significant flows generated by institutions such as Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medical
enter, and Massachusetts General Hospital from Mexico, Argentina and even Arab
countries (WTO 1998). In fact the US is so far the only country that has started early in
capturing movement of patients and economic contributions. Today, Thailand and
Malaysia are constantly reporting the latest developments in this segment.
Cuba. The Servimed in Cuba has been tapped to generate foreign exchange earnings from
the sale of health tourism packages and to establish joint ventures. The competitive
advantage lies in competitive prices due to low labour costs, highly qualified health
professionals, and certain exclusive treatments, which draw patients essentially from Latin
and North America. This program is highly supported by the government.

Thailand. Singapore has faced stiff competition with the Bumrungrad Hospital (now
Bumrungrad International) in Thailand. Today, the Private Hospital Association with more
than 185 members has been supporting this health tourism project. Available treatments
include dentistry, ophthalmologic surgery, and plastic surgery, among others. Services in
Bangkok can be 50-70% cheaper than the costs charged in Singapore. Around 800,000
foreign patients were treated in Thailand in 2003, generating US$470M in revenues. The
major markets of Thailand today are the Japanese, Americans and British. The Bumrungrad
Hospital treated 350,000 patients. The international patient volume of Bumrungrad Hospital
increased by 57% between 1999 and 2001 and revenue contribution reached 37%.
Bangkok’s International Medical Centre is also competing by offering services in 26
languages, recognizing cultural and religious dietary restrictions, and dedicating a special
wing for Japanese patients.
Malaysia. Malaysia is another country whose stakeholders are convinced about the value of
health tourism as a major growth engine. Under the 8th Malaysia Plan, the government
identified health tourism as a growth driver in 1998 and created a National Committee for
the Promotion of Health Tourism in Malaysia. The committee is tasked to spearhead the
development of the medical and long-stay programs and promote Malaysia as a “second
home” for international tourists. The committee is composed of airlines, hospitals, travel
and tourism agencies, and the Malaysian Industrial Development Authority. Five subcommittees were created to address the issues of (a) Identification of markets, (b) Tax
Incentives, (c) Fee packaging, (d) Advertisement, and (e) Accreditation. In 2003, there
were 100,000 health tourists, up 18.2% from 2002. Out of the total number of health
tourists, 60% were from Indonesia, another 10% were from Brunei, Vietnam, Singapore,
and Thailand. The rest were from West Asia, South Asia (Bangladesh and India), and
Japan. Total revenue was estimated at $10M. Cardiology and general surgery services
appear to be in highest demand among foreign patients. The Middle East is a major target
market given the large annual medical expenditure in these countries. The government aims
to generate around $1B in revenues from health tourism alone by 2010.
Singapore. Singapore is another aggressive player in the field serving its immediate
regional markets. An estimated 150,000 foreign patients sought treatment in Singapore in
2000 and spent about S$345 million a year in healthcare. Based on figures from the
Ministry of Health, most of the patients came from Malaysia and Indonesia (70-85%).
Today, Singapore does not compete on the basis of price alone but is boosting its image as
a destination with high standards of healthcare. It is positioning itself as a centre for health
and wellbeing programs (e.g. health screening, aesthetic and anti-ageing therapies) and for
the treatment of various illnesses. It also aims to establish one-stop centers in key regional
markets to make it more convenient for patients to come to Singapore.28 It is aiming for one
million international patients per year by 2012 and revenues worth US$2B.
Retirement
The aging populations of OECD countries provide employment opportunities for
developing countries that have relatively abundant supply of medical workers. The first is
in terms of the export of medical workers who in turn contribute to the Gross National
Product of their countries. This will be discussed further under movement of natural
persons or Mode 4. The second is in terms of exporting their medical workers’ services
28
Based on a report by the Committee on Health Care Services.

Draft Report
through the development of the so-called retirement industry in the local economy. Hence,
medical workers’ movements will be confined within the geographical boundaries of the
country. The retirees as consumers will be the ones moving from their home country to the
retirement destination.
There are approximately 126 million who are 65 years and older in OECD countries with
an average pension of US$2,000 per month. If around 20% of them decide to retire to
developing countries, that’s around 25 million retirees infusing US$50 billion in
consumption spending including medical care. The high cost of living in the developed
countries is driving retirees to move to tropical countries or where the cost of living is more
competitive.
In Japan, the health care sector is still closed to foreign practitioners. Thus, relatively
expensive silver businesses have developed (Table 10). Robots are also being explored to
provide long term care to the aging population.

The retirement market is usually defined as elderly persons who move to countries where
costs are lower and the climate is better than in the home country and returning nationals
who have lived many years abroad and who are able to retire in their country of origin.
However, the retiree market can be segmented into three groups: retiring individuals,
retired individuals and the retired elderly and the retirement industry can be classified into
several types depending on the type of retirement living (Table 11). Each classification
- 28 -
Draft Report
caters to a particular need of the retiree. Many, in fact, all retirement communities offer
these kinds of services but in varying degrees of assistance. Many retirees prefer to live
independently with little nursing assistance. Others prefer a frequent medical and nursing
assistance.

Barriers
o Non-portability of insurance. This is a major barrier considered by the retiree market,
particularly those from developed countries who intend to move to developing countries.
Their public health systems and even private insurance will not cover the costs of
treatment in the retirement destination. Even if an individual does not intend to retire but
simply seek treatment abroad, non-portability of public insurance is a barrier.
In most cases, private insurance companies from developed countries do not cover
treatment in developing countries because of malpractice and lawsuit issues.
o Visa requirements, foreign exchange restrictions or the need to obtain authorization for
medical expenditures may constraint patients from seeking medical treatment in other
countries.
Emotional insecurities can also slow down movement of patients or retirees.
Language and cultural barriers may hinder them from seeking treatment abroad. This is
particularly true for the Japanese market. Even if a retiree is already on a long stay
program in the Philippines, he still goes back to Japan to seek medical treatment because of
concerns on language and cultural differences.29
Movement of Students
There are incentives for students to pursue undergraduate and postgraduate medical
education (e.g. traditional and non traditional) abroad. First, specific programs may not be
available in the home country. Second, scholarships on medical education require students
to pursue the program in another country and not in the home country. Third, foreign

Draft Report
institutions have good reputation in the desired filed of specialization. Fourth, in some
cases, students from more developed countries go to lesser developed ones but with good
reputation in medical education due to cost considerations.
China has been attracting foreign students to study Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Barriers
Mutual Recognition. Foreign diplomas or certificates may not be recognized in the
student's home country.
Migration of Foreign Students. The possibility of these students not returning to the
home country has been a major concern of developing countries. The establishment of
satellite or affiliate schools from developed nations in developing countries through
joint venture agreements has encouraged medical students to study in their home
country.
Growth in telehealth services trade. When ICT infrastructure is quite developed,
students may not be encouraged to study abroad since teleconferencing can give them
access to experts as well.
B.3.
FOREIGN COMMERCIAL PRESENCE
This mode includes the establishment of a commercial presence in a foreign market to
provide health-related services to clients in that market in any of the following categories:
(i)
in the hospital operation/management sector;
Hospital management companies usually enter foreign markets through joint
ventures with local partners or triad ventures with local and third country investors,
acquisition of facilities, management contracts and licensing and involvement of local
partnership in order to gain access to certified and qualified medical personnel as well as
local markets.
The presence of foreigners in the industry is relatively strong in developing countries
such as Indonesia and Thailand. In the former, a number of investments came in at the
height of the Asian crisis, when most hospitals either declared bankruptcy or failed to
become profitable. Major investors in hospital services come from Australia and Singapore
but there are some from Malaysia and Japan. Even hospital management is common
practice already in cities like Jakarta (where at least five hospitals are owned or managed
by foreign firms and individuals), Surabaya, Java, and Bali.30 In Dubai, a medical zone was
constructed to house the famous clinics such as the Mayo Clinic, Harvard Medical Center,
currently patronized by the rich citizens of Arab countries. The Singapore-based Parkway
Group Healthcare Pte. has developed the Gleneagles International as its brand in acquiring
or investing in hospital facilities. It has acquired eleven hospitals, ten in Asia and one in
Britain, and a majority share in a dental surgery chain operating throughout South-East
Asia.

Draft Report
(ii)
in the health insurance sector;
Some countries have opened up their health insurance markets to some extent
(Table 12) although restrictions are still imposed on foreign insurance companies investing
in hospitals. Managed care operations (a combination of managed care and insurance) have
been used as a way to penetrate foreign markets in order to circumvent the foreign equity
and nationality restrictions. They are expected to reduce the overall medical costs by
requiring participating physicians to provide the lowest cost treatment. Patients have raised
concerns of discrimination by physicians between HMO patients and non-HMO patients.
(iii)
in the educational sector;
Some well known medical schools are establishing themselves in foreign countries
(as in the case of the John Hopkins School in Singapore), including developing countries,
usually through joint-ventures with local schools. This kind of foreign commercial presence
is often accompanied by movement of providers (e.g. professors) and movement of
consumers (e.g. students moving from the headquarters to the subsidiaries and vice-versa).
The interest for the recipient country is to differentiate and upgrade the curricula available
to its students/medical personnel, while the interest for the exporting institution is to have
access to new sources of revenue, to spread its reputation abroad, and to avoid the
overcrowding of its headquarters. This move encourages students in developing countries
to pursue medical studies in their own home countries.
(iv)
on an ad-hoc basis.
To upgrade facilities, some companies expand abroad through contract-based
activities under multilateral funding. Since it is time-limited, the exporting country
provides opportunities for its medical professionals without burdening the local health care
system. Contracts can be renewed depending on the needs of the importing countries and
the resources of multilateral agencies. The exporting companies can likewise develop a
pool of personnel to be deployed therefore upgrading the quality of the health care workers.
Barriers
The major barrier is related to foreign ownership rules/equity participation rules.
Based on their GATS commitments, there are significant restrictions on the establishment
of commercial presence as revealed in Table 11 to their GATS commitments.
The establishment of a permanent commercial presence in a foreign country is
another way to deliver services to foreign markets. These arrangements often take the form
of joint venture or partnership arrangements, which provide valuable local knowledge and
access to accredited local staff.
In this context, health service providers can face government policies that
discriminate against overseas entrants into the marketplace. These can include:
•
•
•
limits on foreign equity ownership;
discriminatory tax arrangements;
restrictive competition policies (including a lack of competitive neutrality);
- 31 -
Draft Report
•
•
•
clearance being required from the Ministry of Health;
quantitative limits on the numbers, location, staffing and management of foreign
establishments; and
pre-emptory political decisions.
Changes to these policies generally require high-level negotiations with the relevant foreign
governments.

Other barriers include discriminatory tax or other treatment or restrictive
competition policies. Another is the fear of governments from developing countries that an
emerging private sector would create a two-tier system of “haves”and “have-nots”, siphon
off skilled-public sector workers and undermine efforts to establish national health
insurance schemes. In addition, legislative restrictions often exist on foreign acquisition and
ownership of healthcare facilities.

Movement of natural persons
As mentioned under Mode 2, the aging populations of the OECD countries present
an opportunity to ease unemployment problems and augment income generation in
developing countries through the export of its medical workers. And the major importing
countries so far are the US, UK, and Canada. There have been a number of estimates of the
degree of shortage in nurses and other medical professionals in these countries (Table 13).

New openings are for nursing aids and caregivers for the elderly or those with
disabilities in hospitals, nursing and retirement homes. The major sources are the
Carribbean economies, the Philippines, and South African countries31. There are many
reasons why these health professionals move out of their home countries. First, they seek
for improved living and working conditions and more lucrative remuneration, about 5 to 6
times what they receive locally. The earnings are often used to support their families back
home. Second, they want to upgrade their skills. From a national perspective, the
remittances of these health workers help finance the health care needs of the domestic
population. The migration also tends to ease the unemployment problems or the lack of
work opportunities. The temporary movement of these health professionals is generally
beneficial. Cultural affinities and geographical proximity facilitate the movement of health
personnel abroad.
However, the brain drain risk or problem starts to happen when these professionals
get married and decide to settle in those countries and a number start to follow. It becomes
aggravated when the doctors leave their home countries to work as nurses abroad.
Barriers32
o Economic needs test requirements. Economic needs tests (ENT) condition
temporary entry upon a determination that no resident/national of the host country is
available and qualified to carry out the same assignment. In the GATS
commitments, ENT, defined as a barrier to market access under Article XVI,
frequently appears as a qualification to commitments relating to the movement of
natural persons, including intracorporate transferees and independent contracted
professionals. ENT acts as a quota restriction and may be qualitative or quantitative.
31
South Africa has witnessed an exodus of medical personnel to Canada, United Kingdom and United States,
and also a migration from the public to the private sector within the country.
32
WTO (1998)
- 33 -
Draft Report
o Discriminatory licensing. Licensing provision can impede entry of foreigners
through non-recognition of their professional qualifications or by imposing
discriminatory, more stringent and more costly standards on them.
o Difficulties with accreditation or recognition of foreign professional qualifications.
This would refer to the different requirements imposed on professionals by different
state or provincial boards. Professional organizations also tend to impose
requirements serve as obstacles to persons wishing to provide service even on
temporary basis.
o Nationality and residency requirements. Within the European Union discriminatory
treatment of nationals of other Member States based on nationality with regard to
establishment and provision of services is prohibited. In the United States, the
requirements for obtaining a license to practice medicine for those with
qualifications obtained outside the United States vary from state to state, some of
which allow graduates of foreign medical schools to practice subject to a written
examination. Candidates must also pass the qualifying examination of the
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates, and then undertake a
period of graduate medical education at a hospital in the United States.
Other barriers include immigration regulations, access to examinations for completion
of qualifications and foreign exchange controls affecting the repatriation of earning, or
discriminatory regulation of fees and expenses.
Commitments
Most of the members have unbound commitments on Mode 1 meaning that they are free to
introduce any new measure regulating foreign service provision in the domestic market - in
both market access and national treatment (Table 14).
In the GATS commitments related to trade in health services, consumption abroad is
usually allowed without limitations. However, some countries (i.e. Bulgaria, Poland and the
United Sates) have indicated restrictions on the coverage of public insurance schemes
outside the country.

CHAPTER 3
ASSESSMENT OF CAPABILITIES
This chapter presents the opportunities for the Philippines based on the
assessment of the external environment earlier. This will be followed by an assessment
of the internal strengths and weaknesses of the Philippines by looking at the following
factors which affect the value chain of the different modes of trade in health services.
A.
Summary of Opportunities for the Philippines
Based on the previous chapter, the following are opportunities that the
Philippines can pursue as the government prepares for greater participation in this trade
and for future
negotiations.

•
Aging populations in OECD
Shortage of medical professionals in those countries
High cost of medical expenditures in developed countries
relative to the Philippines plus the long waiting lines for
treatment
Poor healthcare systems in most Asian and neighboring
countries
Requirements for medical professionals to maintain records of
patients for insurance claims and bills processing
Relatively high cost of labor in the medical transcription
industry in developed countries

pursue. And there is a set of products or services that can be developed, packaged and
sold
starting with our core capabilities or competencies. Note that the linkages among the
four modes of supply have the potential to stimulate growth of other related and
supporting industries in the local market. These industries include telecommunications,
tourism, manufacture of drugs, utilities, and private services to name a few.
There are already empirical evidences of the Philippine’s participation in health
services
trade as explored in the subsequent discussions.
Telehealth: Telemedicine and Medical Transcription
The export of telemedicine from the Philippines to other countries is not yet fully
explored at this stage. The flows are usually from developed countries to the Philippines
and these are mostly in the form of videoconferencing during meetings or conferences.
Makati Medical Center during its past conferences utilized telemedicine when medical
experts from Standford Hospital shared their expert opinions.33 The development of
health tourism can impact on telemedicine when patients and/or their physicians in their
home countries consult with the physicians here prior to their visit (this is where digital
imaging or scanning plays a role) and then again when they require post-treatment
diagnosis.
The application of telemedicine is so far mostly within our national systems. The
UP-PGH National Telehealth Center is at the forefront of the application of telemedicine
to upgrade the trainings of public health facilities in the provinces34 and to facilitate the
conduct of medical missions in remote areas.35 It was established in 1998 to facilitate
integration of telecommunication technology into healthcare delivery. The current
projects are teledermatology and computer literacy. The initiative makes use of low
bandwidth high impact (store-and-forward) and primarily between physicians. The UPPGH plans to incorporate the telemedicine applications in future medical outreach
missions to bring the teaching hospital’s resources to remote places. Through the
Advanced Science and Technology Institute under the Department of Science and
Technology, work is being done to develop research and education internetworks. In the
program on ICT Advanced Networking Research there are initiatives to conduct R&D,
set-up test bed, deploy and demonstrate technologies to support activities in Ecommerce, telemedicine and distance learning in the Philippines.
The rising source of export revenues for the Philippines is medical transcription.
Medical transcription started out only three years ago, serving less than 1 percent of the
33
34
Makati Medical Center website
The WHO funded a US$150,000 project which will use a combination of self-instructional materials and the Internet to
to disseminate and promote the exchange of information among health professionals and the general public. Under the
project, district health systems will be strengthened with initial implementation targeting five regional or district hospitals
(in Region II and XI) to become the first satellite nodes that will facilitate the Internet-based training. The DoH has
identified several topics to be included in the trainings. These are related to the different practices of medicine (pediatrics,
surgery, OB-gyne, interpretaton of ECG tracings, etc), emergency services (basic life support, trauma), and health
adminstration.

US demand for such services according to the DTI. It includes the provision of the
following types of transcription works: office visits, progress notes, operative reports,
emergency notes, discharge summaries, x-ray reports, consultation reports, history and
physical reports, clinical notes, psychiatric evaluation, laboratory reports and pathology
reports. Based on the DTI ICT Report, about 6,700 US hospitals have yet to convert their
medical records into electronic format, in compliance with the Federal Certification, a
US law which requires all medical record to be computerized. This represents about 42%
of US demand requiring outsourcing. India has captured 80 percent of the market and the
rest are shared by Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Australia. To be able to meet
demand, the US market alone needs about 230,000 medical transcriptionists.
Health Tourism and Retirement
Two areas are explored here: movement of consumers, (e.g. health tourism and
retirement) and movement of students.
In 2001, the Department of Tourism started to advocate and promote medical
tourism during the Tourism Related Industries Congress held at the Philippine
International Convention Center. Dr. Ricardo Quintos presented this concept and the
Office of Product Research and Development identified medical tourism as a major
product niche to be tapped. However, it was only last year when the government started
to really devote much attention and advocacy campaign on health tourism when it
created a Task Force on Export Competitiveness under Executive Order No.372 that was
tasked to mobilize public and private sector initiatives for health and wellness. The
Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (2004-2010) likewise states that the
government will prioritize the establishment of health and retirement zones and that the
private sector will be consulted on this initiative. The 2005 Investment Priorities Plan
(Annex 2) has now includes health zones in its list of priority sectors and the
Implementing Rules and Regulations provide incentives such as tax holidays and dutyfree importation of equipment. The Philippine Economic Zone Authority is still studying
how this initiative can be supported under its organization in a manner that will stimulate
the sector’s boom similar to what happened to the IT-enabled services. Outside these
government initiatives, members of the private sector have already spending on their own
feasibility studies and business missions and exploring business opportunities in health
tourism. Individual physicians (e.g. Dr. Francisco Lucero and Dr. Carlos Lasa Jr for
cosmetic surgery) have been orienting their websites toward health tourism and
optimizing their presence through the support of IT service providers.
Spa Wellness
The DOT has been leading in the promotion of spas to the international market.
A check of the DOT website will reveal the list of spas being promoted. These are
Mandala Spa in Boracay, the San Benito Farm in Lipa, The Peninsular Spa, The Nurture
Spa in Tagaytay. However, there has been a mushrooming of spas in the country in the
past five years. Some have become members of the Spa Association of the Philippines in
order to project an image of good quality of services to the market. In terms of numbers
featured in websites, this number pales in comparison to those promoted by Thailand and
Indonesia (Table 16).

Medical Tourism
Faith healing has been the common concept of medical tourism in the country
given its popularity decades ago. But other segments evolved as our health service
providers particularly hospitals and their expert physicians started to gain international
reputation for quality service.
It is only recently that we have started to brand and sell health tourism packages
to the international market. Tour operators do not have readily available packages in
their brochures or even websites (although a consortium of stakeholders - the Belo
Medical Group, Ricky Reyes and travel agents - have started to sell beauty holidays).
The DOT website likewise still has to be linked to umbrella associations such as the
Philippine Hospital Association in order for the tourist to be able to have a menu of
hospital facilities and services to choose from. Such clustering is the strategy pursued
ahead by Thailand and Malaysia.
The DOT has started to accredit hospitals for its medical tourism programs. The
hospitals accredited include St. Luke’s Hospital, Asian Hospital, Makati Medical Center
and the New Medical City. It has also started working with tour operators in the country
to help promote medical tourism packages.
The entrepreneurial spirit among private sector stakeholders is highly proven by
the clustering of providers through the support of ICT. A good example of this is the
rxpinoy website (www.rxpinoy.com) developed and maintained by the Infomediary Inc.
Another is (www.doktorko.com) which was initiated by a group of Filipino doctors.
Individual physicians and ambulatory clinics are increasingly becoming more visible.
Examples are those of Dr. Lucero’s and Dr. Lasa’s cosmetic and plastic surgery
packages, Asian Eye Institute and Eye Republic. In Cebu, Dr. Larrazabal is at the
forefront of promoting Cebu for health tourism. Samples of packages of these physicians
are presented in Annex 2.
We still lack more accurate data on medical wellness – inventory of facilities,
services and capabilities of facilities (including ambulatory clinics) and volume of
foreign patients being treated and the revenues generated. These figures are needed in
- 41 -
Draft Report
order to highlight the business opportunities that can be created for our medical
professionals and therefore encourage them to continue to stay in the country.
Retirement
In 1985, the late President Marcos created the Philippine Retirement Authority
(PRA) to promote the Philippines as a retirement destination. Statistics show that there
are currently more than 800,000 Japanese on long stay abroad (Table 17). The number of
long-stayers has increased from 326,225 in 1971 to 839,435 in 2001. Around 20% are in
Asia, mostly in China, Singapore, and Thailand. There are 10,137 Japanese officially
residing in the Philippines making it the 8th most popular destination in Asia next to
China, Singapore, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Majority of these retirees are living in areas or communities that are not really
labeled for retirement. One reason is that some of them have married locals. Some
prefer being integrated with the local communities rather than being confined in
communities for the elderly or passive retirees. Rose Princess, an increasingly popular
retirement home caters to Japanese and some Filipino elderly. We only have a few
“retirement communities” (Rose Princess, Orchids) and we need others that can be at par
with the likes of Florida, Canada or Thailand in terms of the state of infrastructure (e.g.
roads, hospital facilities) and capacity to absorb the wave of retirees that can potentially
hit the Philippines. It should be noted that there have been initiatives from real estate
developers and their potential Japanese partners in the past. The projects did not
materialize due to the Asian financial crisis plus the massive politicking at the local level.

Exports of Medical Professionals
We are not a newcomer in this type of trade. In fact, the problem now is that we
have been so good at this, gaining international reputation for our capabilities and
compassionate care for foreign patients that foreign demand for our medical professionals
is exerting pressure on our local health care industry. Today, according to the National
Institute of Health Executive Director Dr. Jaime Galvez-Tan (2005), around 3,500
doctors are taking up nursing courses to seek better opportunities in a number of OECD
countries where there is shortage of nurses and other medical professionals.
Some current trends are indeed alarming. An average of 11,000 nurses have been
deployed by the country in the past two years. Enrollment in nursing in the NCR alone
increased from 8,600 in SY1998-1999 to 34,000 in 2003-04 while enrollment in medicine
declined from 9,106 in SY 2002-03 to 6,500 in SY 2003-04. Furthermore, there has been
an increase in a number of nursing schools as well as training institutions for caregivers.
The government is not completely preventing medical professionals from leaving.
It is simply exploring ways by which brain drain can be prevented in order to ensure the
sustainability and quality of local health care delivery. Providing better opportunities for
these medical professionals in our own country can help address the situation. Thus it is
important that the linkages among these four modes of trade are explored.
B.
Assessment Of Local Capabilities
Does the Philippines have a competitive advantage in the trade of health services?
This requires an inquiry into the competitiveness of existing and potential firms in health
services trade. Countries gain competitiveness through their firms (Porter 1990; Buckley
et. al. 1988; Kester and Leuhrman 1989) which in turn become internationally
competitive when they are able to retain and expand their global market shares and
ultimately increase their profits (OECD 1993; Clark and Guy 1998).
Competitiveness of health service providers is a function of their own internal
endowments, conduct, and the environment in which they are embedded (Rasiah 2003).
A firm’s internal endowments refer to its capabilities (i.e. core competencies) that
separate it from other firms in the industry. They include human resource, process
technology, research and development, basic infrastructure, high technology
infrastructure, business networks and some minimum efficiency of scale/scope. Porter
(1990) captured those endowments and environment in the four elements of national
advantage: demand conditions, factor conditions, presence of related and supporting
industries, and firm structure and rivalry.
In recent years, the theory of international trade has focused more on other
possible sources of factor endowments apart from labor. Studies have focused more on
frictions in trade and investment due to geography, institutions, transport and information
costs (Venables 2001; Bond 2001) and the transmission of knowledge across borders
(Grossman and Helpman 1991). These traditional notions of endowments can be
combined with the newer ones to help understand why lesser developed countries like the
Philippines engaged in the observable patterns of trade.
- 44 -
Draft Report
Porter (1990) asserts that firms can create competitive advantage by examining
the different portions of the value chain. Each portion of this value chain requires some
levels of infrastructure to make the firm meet the demands of buyers and minimize costs
of operations and delivery. It is important to understand and assess how firms will still
be able to generate profit margins from its activity.
Primary Value Chain Activities

Logistics
Operation
Outbound
Logistics
Marketing
&

Value chain analysis hypothesizes that policy impediments exist that if removed
will unleash competition which will raise productivity and investment leading to growth.
The new institutional economics (Williamson 1975; Coase 1972; North 1992) argues that
transaction costs exist that if removed would enable firms to maximize use of resources
within a network or supply chain to deliver a product most efficiently therefore raising
productivity of the entire chain. Value chain analysis can identify policy-induced costs
related to the rules of the game but also non-state transactions costs (e.g. logistics and
support) which firms will have to assess if they or others outside the organization can
deliver more efficiently.
Indeed, the Philippines is not alien to all the developments in health services
trade. Figure 6 shows that commitments on the part of the government and the private
sector to increase our market share in the global trade in health services will impact on
three areas of the health care and its related and supporting industries: namely: firm
infrastructure, human resource management and training and technological
infrastructure.36
o Establishment of networks through the firm or provider’s infrastructure. This
refers to the establishment of sector-wide quality standards and the presence of
frontline services. The tourism and healthcare industry are closely linked in the
establishment of a health tourism sector.
The same is true of the
telecommunications and tourism sectors and the telecommunications and medical
transcription. This requires the need to link or network customer support services
to improve market access.
o Services are solely people-centered; therefore human resource management and
training is particularly important. Rigorous selection and constant professional
development are crucial. A new compensation scheme for the service provision to
foreigners may be introduced without undermining the price advantage of the
Philippines.
36
This strategic framework was adopted from Gonzales et al (2001) and Kaiser (2005) with
modifications by the authors to reflect the fact that the impact of liberalization on upgrading of
firm infrastructure, technological infrastructure, and human resource management and training due
to the participation in the four modes of health services will apply not just on health-related
industries but to related and supporting industries such as tourism.
- 45 -
Draft Report
o Technology Development/ R&D: Information technology and services provide
the core of the sector’s advantage. Usually, the quality of the service is signaled
using the price of benefit packages. However, a sizeable amount of funds would
be needed to upgrade the sector’s medical equipment and facilities. For example,
government health care facilities needed a total of P 28 billion for modernization
from 2000 to 2004 in order to keep up with the modernization and expansion
projects of leading hospitals in the National Capital Region. The top 3 private
hospitals in NCR, on the other hand have invested a total of P 8 billion in fixed
assets from 2000 to 2003, or about 33% of the total amount needed to modernize
government hospitals and health care facilities.
A network infrastructure, technology development and research, and human resource
management and training are the key areas for the improvement of the quality of health
services export in general. Currently, it is evident that the Philippines still has a lot to do
to tap the potentials from Mode 2 particularly health tourism (Kaiser 2005) and
retirement. An improvement in those areas is also likely to improve the value added
contribution of health care and its related industries. Currently, the health care sector
improves value added through the establishment of a reputation for quality service. The
main strategy of the major healthcare providers and the allied sectors is to achieve higher
standards of services, whether they be accredited by international or local institutions or
achieved through systems of benchmarking.

B.1. Firm Infrastructure
Cost Structure
Why will US hospitals ever consider the Philippines for medical transcription?
The main advantage of the Philippines is its telecoms infrastructure, labor, and
reasonable office rental fees (Rodolfo 2005). These are the three main cost items that
matter in the competitiveness of medical transcription companies.37 For labor, the
Philippines is especially attractive because of its global reputation for health
professionals. A basic knowledge of medical terms is critical for medical transcription.
Are labor costs competitive with India, the market leader?
In medical transcription, the Philippines charges a rate of 10-12 cents per line,
rates which are competitive with those of India. Our labor cost is higher than India’s but
very competitive relative to the US. The average salary of a full-fledged transcriptionist
in the Philippines is US$2,500-$4,000 per year (depending on skills level) compared to
India’s U$2,700 and the USA’ $25,000 - $30,000. Our other major advantages include
our cultural and linguistic affinities with the US plus the benefits of our deregulated
telecommunication sector (Rodolfo 2005).
Costs of telecommunications lines are lower by 30-50% in the Philippines than in
India. Furthermore, procurement times are shorter (3 weeks as opposed to 3 months) and
less transmission delay. The bandwidth cost has declined by 70 percent during the past
four years, according to local IT service and contact center providers (as cited by DTI).
As regards health and retirement, our spa services are likewise competitive (Table
18). The likes of The Farm and Mandala Spa are high-end providers which have gained
international reputation because of the quality of their services. They have been awarded
by the International Spa Association in 2004 and have been elevated to the same status as
the very popular spas in Thailand and Indonesia.

Salaries and wages account for 40-60%, rent 10-18% and telecommunications line 10-25%. See Rodolfo
(2005) for details. The DTI reports a similar cost structure: Salaries and Benefits taking 50%; Building &
Infrastructure, about 20%; and Utilities and Communications, 10%. Training and Business Trips were also
cited by the DTI as significant cost items for BPOs.

In the field of medical wellness, cosmetic surgeons such as Dr. Francisco Lucero
and Dr. Carlos Lasa have already launched their own websites to promote health tourism.
Starting in the 1990s, St. Luke’s Hospital has been bringing in patients from the
Micronesian States.38
Why would foreigners consider the Philippines? Our rates are very competitive
when compared to Thailand and Malaysia which enjoy cost advantages in a number of
cosmetic procedures including controversial gender change procedures. A cardiac bypass surgery, for instance, costs more than US$90,000 in the United States and
US$20,000 in the United Kingdom compared to $5,000 - $6,000in the Philippines (Table
19). Even the cost of a private room per night is competitive in the Philippines.

Cosmetic surgery is one of the niches the country can tap more easily compared to
others. It is not covered by insurance so patients belong to the upper middle to high
income levels. Recently, the Ophthalmic Consultants Philippines Co. (better known as
Eye Republic) and the RP-based Korean travel agent Bingo Tour signed a Memorandum
of Agreement that will provide Korean national patients desiring eye and cosmetic
surgery in the Philippines.39
The cost of living is lower in the Philippines than in developed countries. Hence,
the Filipino-American community in the United States is a major market that must be
tapped. Japan is another one although it is relatively more difficult to uproot the Japanese
retirees from their homeland unless the government strongly supports and recommends
the Philippines as a retirement destination. Japan has a dollar per capita income of over
US$30,000 – which is 30 times that of the Philippines. Another indicator is to compare
the cost of hospitalization in Japan and the Philippines. In the Philippines, the daily cost
of hospitalization is 30 times lower than that of Japan. In terms of medical charges, the
Philippines is more than 9 times lower compared to Japan.
Cost of dwelling units in the Philippines is lower while providing more living
space for the household. In fact, there is no need even to construct new settlements just to
serve the retirees. The soft property market currently prevailing in the Philippines has
caught many developers of both subdivision and condominiums with large inventories of
unsold units. Perhaps with some adjustments in the standards of construction and
amenities, many of these housing developments can be re-launched or re-marketed as
retirement villages or clusters or lifestyle communities (since active retirees prefer to still
live in the metropolis and simply spend some activities in the countryside).

The relatively low salaries of our medical or health professionals is a major factor
that forces them to leave the country and enable us to earn foreign exchange through their
remittances. There are other opportunities in trade of health services (outside of sending
them to primarily OECD nations) that will allow for temporary migration without
imposing a burden on the local health care system.
Availability and Quality of Facilities and Standards.
There are currently 29 medical transcription organizations and 10 medical
transcription schools under the Association of Medical Transcription in the Philippines
(Table 20).
They are supported by foreign partners in the US. We relatively have a
good track record in terms of minimum accuracy rate of 98 percent and are able to make
a turnaround time of 24 hours. Emergency Room (ER) cases can be turned around for 3
to 6 hours. In order to become competitive, the local MT companies must maintain
confidentiality of medical as well as financial information. Thus, the industry is working
with Congress to enact a law that will include a provision requiring all local MT
companies to comply with the US HIPAA of 1996. The HIPAA law protects privacy in
medical records and other healthcare-related information.

Health Tourism and Retirement. One disadvantage of the Philippines is the relatively
small number of destination spas compared to our regional competitors. Only a few
destination spas are currently popular among tourists and balikbayans in Luzon. These
are the Nurture Spa in Tagaytay, the San Benito Farm in Lipa and the Sanctuary Spa in
Batangas. In the Visayas, there are the Mandala Spa in Boracay and the newly opened
Chi Spa in Shangrila-Mactan in Cebu.
In terms of service differentiation, the Philippines has proven that it is capable of
providing unique and high standard products and services. This was evidenced by the
awards that The Farm and Mandala received from the International Spa Association last
year. Their websites provide transparency of the services that clients can expect.
Standards of services for different kinds of spas (day, destination and hotel) are certified
by the Spa Association of the Philippines (at least for their members) and by the DOT.

Laguna is an area being promoted by the government as wellness haven. The hot springs
are a natural attraction. However, most of the facilities are not of high quality in terms of
standards. The therapists also need further training.40 The DSWD and the National AntiPoverty Commission have started out with this training project under the umbrella
initiative of the Creative Economy Council early this year. However, the changes in
leadership have since stalled significant progress in this area.
Filipinas Paradise was an early entrant in the retirement industry in the
early 1990s. By 1996, another retirement home – Rose Princess – was set up in Laguna.
There have been attempts by other developers to develop retirement havens for the
Japanese but these projects were aborted due to the Asian financial crisis and unfavorable
investment climate. Today, Rose Princess has expanded through franchising to other
areas such as Cebu, Matabungkay and Subic. In the absence of dedicated “retirement
communities”, the PRA has started to accredit tourism-related real estate properties –
condominiums, subdivisions, etc. – to accommodate long stayers (based on a set of
guidelines). But the number still pales in comparison with other countries.
Another indicator that we can use to assess the capability of firms to
provide services is the quality of facilities including their technological capabilities.
Medical wellness and retirement rely heavily on hospital and clinic care and services so it
is important to examine the state of our hospital industry (see Case Study). It should be
noted that some of our facilities already employ state-of-the art technology but which can
be improved in a number of hospitals through investments or sharing of cost for facilities
(as is the case with Asian Hospital and Makati Medical Center). St. Luke’s is due to open
another facility at the Fort Bonifacio Global City.
Under a globalized insurance market environment, the health care sector of the
Philippines is facing the need to accredit its various services. For example, Asian
Hospital has acquired international accreditation and Medical City has been preparing for
international accreditation so as to join the pool of accredited health care facilities given
by insurers. Tertiary hospitals located in Metro Manila are improving and expanding
their facilities in order to make health care accessible not only to Metro Manila residents
but also within cities in Southern Luzon peripheral to Metro Manila. Tertiary hospitals,
ambulatory clinics and diagnostic center located within the Makati, Las Piñas and San
Juan areas are initiating moves towards networking of facilities. For instance, doctors
locate hospital offices within this vicinity. There is also a cost-sharing of medical
equipment and facilities between tertiary hospitals in Las Piñas and Makati, as in the case
of Asian Hospital and Makati Medical Center.
A prominent institution rendering the accreditation service is the prestigious Joint
International Commission for the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations. The USbased accreditation service gives a quality stamp on the health care provider as the
accreditation signifies that the provider has acquired the highest international standards
for health care service, i.e. comparable to other reputable hospitals worldwide. The preaccreditation process requires an 18-month to 2-year as the hospital will have to comply
with the standard set of medical equipment and services required of a tertiary hospital.
The actual accreditation process and reply can take at least 2 to 3 years after the actual
hospital visit by the accreditors. Thus, the acquisition of an international quality service

recognition needs a medium-term plan of hospital service upgrading and equipment
purchase.
In the Philippines, St. Luke’s Medical Center acquired this recognition in 2003. It
was the first in the Philippines and the second in Asia to Bumrungrad International which
is Thailand’s major hospital when it comes to health tourism. The announcement for
application for accreditation has been done since the mid-nineties. The other major
hospitals such as Medical City (Professional Services, Inc.) and Asian Hospital have
applied for accreditation as well. Given the experience of St. Luke’s this would mean
that at least one more hospital in the National Capital Region would be able to acquire
international recognition on or before 2010.41 The experience of St. Luke’s attests the
importance of developing business networks not only locally but in major markets for
exports of health services.
It should be noted that when we want to attract our Overseas Filipinos to retire
here, they will most likely desire to retire in their hometowns. A barrier to such
movement however is the nonportability of insurance. Such barrier can be removed if the
health facilities are accredited by international institutions. This becomes a constraint to
our ability to promote regional retirement destinations because our regional secondary
and tertiary hospitals currently lack the capacity, infrastructure and resources to pursue
accreditation. One possible solution is to link up these satellite hospitals to a central
hospital that can be accredited. But the critical component for such strategy is investment
which can come from local or foreign sources or both. The private hospital sector is
currently threatened in its financial viability. This may explain the marked decrease in the
number of hospitals and beds from 1964 to 2003. Among the major problems are:
o Increasing hospital operating expenses
o High level of bad debts and uncollected accounts
o Increasing costs of capital expenditures (building expansion or equipment
purchase)
o Generally poor management skills and shortage in the supply of hospital
management specialists
o Delayed reimbursements by MEDICARE
o Scarcity in long-term financing and high loan default rates
o Maldistribution of hospital facilities especially in urban areas
o Generally poor population with low paying capacity for hospital services
Currently, the hospital industry is included in the Negative List of Foreign
Investments. Only a maximum of 40 percent foreign ownership is allowed by law.
Bumrungrad International entered the Philippine health care industry via partnership
(management contract) with Asian Hospital.
Another way by which infrastructure particularly in the provinces can be
upgraded is through the establishment of health (and retirement) zones. This can also
address the foreign equity restrictions for hospital operations. The 2005 IPP of the DTI
already recognizes the importance of health zones and the private sector is eagerly
waiting for the PEZA guidelines. One issue for local investors seeking to infuse equity
41

into some tertiary hospitals that can be positioned for health tourism is the requirement of
generating fifty percent export revenues beginning in the first year of operations in order
to receive the incentives. These investors may not be able to meet such requirements
given that they are just starting to build up networks with foreign medical partners or
markets abroad.42 These areas can likewise be opened for the practice of foreign medical
professionals (as long as they practice only within these bounds).
Caring for retirees, particularly the elderly is intensely service-oriented which
goes beyond medical care. It is providing personalized care for a longer period of time
involving more people. This care must involve other meaningful activities that will keep
the retirees busy. As a result, a retirement facility does not only become a venue for
providing medical attention, but also a place where self-esteem and self-worth are
restored.
Business Networks/Presence of Related and Supporting Industries.
The success of exportable health services depends on the existence of competent
supporting industries which include:
•
Private and public hospitals
•
Ambulatory Clinics/Facilities
•
Professional Services (e.g. medical and allied services)
•
Other Private Services (e.g. associations)
•
Government Services
•
Telecommunication services (including IT providers)
•
Real Estate Services
•
Utilities
•
Educational and Training Institutions

Financial Services
•
Transportation Services
•

Hospital Network. The network of hospitals are presented in Annex 3. In recent years,
capacity of the hospital industry has not significantly expanded due primarily to financial
constraints (see Case Study). Resources were used to upgrade facilities and improve
productivity as in the case of private hospitals. The top hospitals in the country today are
St. Luke’s Hospital, the New Medical City, Asian Hospital and Makati Medical Center.

Ambulatory Clinics. We also have a network of ambulatory facilities registered with the
DOH (Annex 4). Some clinics which have gained reputation for their quality care are
focused on eye care and cosmetic procedures. These include Asian Eye Institute and
American Eye Center.
Professional and Other Private Services. We have a pool of doctors, nurses, therapists
and other allied medical graduates in the country. These professionals are known for
their quality care and competency in their fields. They continue to pursue lifelong
learning by seeking higher credentials through fellowships, etc. There are various
associations (examples are the Philippine Medical Association, Philippine Association of
Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeons, Philippine Nursing Association) that support the
upgrading of quality and concerns of the medical professionals.
We should also include the manpower agencies that deploy service providers for
purposes of security, maintenance and janitorial services and others to hospitals and other
facilities.
Government Services. Various agencies provide support to this sector. These are the
Philippine Regulatory Commission for licensing, the Commission on Higher Education,
the DOH, DOT, DTI, NEDA, DFA and the Office of the President. They are involved in
accreditation, training and manpower capacity building, setting up incentives, and policy
formulation and implementation.
Telecommunications Services. The deregulated sector has a number of international
providers which support and enhance support to telehealth. A significant amount of
trans-Pacific data communication bandwidth is easily available. There are a number of
international carriers for telecommunication services as a result of the deregulation in the
early 1990s. Bandwidth cost has declined by 70 percent during the past four years,
according to local IT service and contact center providers (as cited by DTI). Firms need
to develop websites and promote their packages via these websites. Hence, they also
need the support of IT providers or firms.

Educational Services. The country has around 313 medical schools turning out
approximately 30,000 graduates per year. There are around 10 medical transcription
schools registered with the Association of Medical Transcription Companies in the
Philippines. For medical transcription, the industry can tap graduates of medical or allied
courses.
However, as mentioned earlier, the major challenge to the transcription
industry is in recruiting these graduates to consider transcription here in the Philippines
rather than caregiving or nursing abroad. Education institutions have started to offer
diploma courses on medical transcription by tying up with transcription companies and
the Technical Educational Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Government
services as an industry also serve as support industry to medical transcription.
Real Estate Services. The Philippines has a number of areas that have been identified for
tourism and retirement. The Philippine Retirement Authority and the DOT both have a
list of these areas for investments. Rental fees are relatively attractive compared to those
in developed nations. Hence, the pension funds of retirees, for instance, can more than
adequately cover for their needs during their stay here as migrants or immigrants.
Utilities. Electricity costs are high in the Philippines, considered second highest in Asia.
This needs to be addressed considering that hospitals are major users of electricity and

water. The medical transcription industry can be supported by reforms such as peak-load
pricing and benefit from lower charges during night time.
Transportation. The basic transportation infrastructure is air transport. Traffic rights are
highly if not fully utilized in a number of revenue generating markets (Austria 2000;
Aldaba 2005; Rodolfo 2005). These rights have to be renegotiated to introduce
competition, bring down costs of air travel and spur regional development.
Financial Services. There are a number of banks and financial institutions that support
hospitals and facilities. Government-owned banks likewise support public hospitals. As
mentioned in the case study, a number of hospitals are financially burdened. Thus, any
support from the financial sector to release resources for facilities and manpower
upgrading are greatly needed (Annex 4).
Tours and travel agencies. They are the major marketing arms of the health tourism and
retirement industries. They are composed of pro-active private stakeholders who have
been spending on their own network building and promotions abroad. They are members
of associations such as Philippine Travel Agencies Association, Network of Independent
Travel Agencies, Philippine Tour Operators Association.
Pharmaceutical Companies. These companies support programs of hospitals. They can
also contribute to the development of the health tourism industry through telemedicine.
Box 3. Linkage Analysis of the Health Sector
A system of a networked or integrated health care industry would contribute to the attainment of an
effective and safe health provider sector. The existence of such an integrated system shall be discussed.
The ability of the private health care industry to operate competitively under a managed care environment
would depend on the strength of the inter-industry linkages, i.e. private health care industry with other
industries and linkages from within the various industries forming the private health care industry.
A.1
BACKWARD AND FORWARD LINKAGES
An examination of the strength of linkage indices in an economy provides one mechanism for identifying
key or leading sectors. For example, if industry 1 has a greater backward linkage than industry 2, this
means that a peso worth of expansion of output of industry 1 would be more beneficial to the economy
than would an equivalent expansion in output of industry 2, in terms of productive activity throughout the
economy that would be generated by the expansion. In the same way, if industry 3 has a greater forward
linkage than industry 4, this means that a peso worth of expansion in output of industry 3 is more
beneficial to the economy than a similar expansion in the output of industry 4, from the point of view of
the overall productive activity that it would support.
Backward linkage is used to indicate the direction of causation of economic effects in a demand-side
model. If industry 1 increases output, there will be increased demand from industry 1, as a purchaser, on
other industries whose products are used as inputs in production in industry 1. On the other hand, forward
linkage is used to indicate the direction of causation of economic effects on the supply side. If industry 1
increases output, there will be increased supplies from industry 1, as a seller, for other industries which
use products of industry 1 as inputs in their production.
An industry with a backward or forward linkage index greater than unity is considered high. Manufacture
of surgical and medical supplies and the manufacture of ophthalmic goods have high output forward
linkages, while the manufacture of surgical and medical supplies, manufacture of ophthalmic goods,
- 56 -
Draft Report
public health services and the entire medical and health-related services industry have income forward
linkages. These industries produce large economic effects as their supplies increase. On the other hand,
among those industries with the highest output backward linkage indices are manufacture of drugs and
medicine and the manufacture of ophthalmic goods, private hospitals, private clinics, other social and
related community services, public health services, and the entire medical and health-related services.
These industries produce large economic effects as their demand increase.
Notice that most industries that belong to the medical and health-related industry and the entire medical
and health-relate industry itself exhibit relatively low output linkage indices. This can be attributed to the
fact that these are service industries that have low output effects because these industries cater mostly to
the final demand sectors, i.e. households and government. In terms of income effects, more industries
that belong to the medical and health-related industry and the entire medical and health-related industry
itself can produce large income effects.
COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION: LINKAGE DISPERSION
A linkage dispersion shows the extent or degree of an industry’s linkage to other industries, i.e.
how many industries it actually affects in the economy. For instance, an industry may have a high
linkage, yet it only affects a few industries. Similarly, an industry may have a high linkage, yet it only
affects a few industries. Similarly, an industry may have a low linkage, but it affects many industries at a
small degree. The coefficient of variation measures the wideness or narrowness of linkages in the entire
economy. Industries with narrow forward linkages are mostly industries which produce specialized
output that require specialized intermediate industries as its buyers, or because it has the final demand
sector as its main buyer. In contrast, industries with wide forward linkages are those industries whose
products are used by many other industries, such as wholesale and retail trade and utilities. On the other
hand, industries with narrow backward linkage dispersion are those industries that do not need a wide
variety of inputs, perhaps other than its own. Again, in the manufacture of machinery and electrical
equipment, it will need a wide variety of inputs to produce their output. Examples of industries with wide
backward linkage are land, water and air transport, and, hotel and restaurant industries.
Among the industries that belong to the medical and health-related industry, only life and nonlife insurance have a wide forward output linkage dispersion effect. Moreover, only the manufacture of
drugs and medicine, and the life and non-life insurance industries have wide forward income linkage
dispersion effect. This means that output and income effects of an increase in supplies of these industries
is spread throughout the economy. On the other hand, the other industries which have a wide backward
income linkage dispersion effect have large output and income effects for every increase in demand.
Multiplier Effect
Multipliers reflect the difference of the initial effect an exogenous or final demand change and the total
effects of that change. The multiplier effect illustrates the changes in economic activities brought about by
other economic activities. It benefits the business directly catering to final demand consumers, supplying
businesses and eventually the owners and employees of these businesses. The multiplier effect basically
traces how many times a peso re-circulates in the economy before it leaks out of the region.
An output multiplier for an industry is the total value of production in all sectors if the economy that is
needed in order to satisfy a one-peso increase in the final demand for that industry. An output multiplier
is interpreted as follows: a one-peso increase in final demand will lead to an increase in output of that
industry by the value of the multiplier.
On the other hand, an income multiplier translates the impacts of a change in final demand into changes in
income, instead of translating these changes into sectoral output. An income multiplier is interpreted as
follows: a one-peso increase in final demand will lead to an increase in income by the value of the
multiplier.
Among the industries that belong to the medical and health-related industry, the industries that ranked the
highest in terms of output generation are manufacture of ophthalmic goods and manufacture of drugs and
medicine, ranking 6th and 15th respectively. Notice that these industries also have a high backward output
linkage measure and a wide output backward linkage dispersion measure. This asserts that these
industries have a more magnified output effect on the economy as they need a lot of varied input
requirements from other industries to satisfy an increase in final demand.
- 57 -
Draft Report
Note that most industries that exhibit high income multipliers are those that are labor-intensive or that
belongs to the services industry. The entire medical and health-related industry itself ranked 6th among all
other industries. For every one unit increase in final demand in the economy, there will be a P 0.3387
increase in income of employees in the medical and health-related industry.

Draft Report
B.2. Availability and Skilled Manpower Resources. The Philippines has 313 medical
schools and the country has 30,000 medical and allied program professionals.
Nevertheless, it is important to highlight that medical transcription is open to all
graduates in who are interested in pursuing a career as transcriptionist or simply being
entrepreneurial enough to do transcription as an extra source of income. The latter is
particularly true for doctors who want to earn extra during their “idle hours” i.e. when
they are not treating patients or attending to other medical duties. Opportunity is also
open to non-science or non-allied health-related degree holders with exceptional English
language communication skills, or those with legal or business transcription background.
Such a large pool does not assure, however, steady supply of transcriptionists who
will allow us to tap the potentials of the US market. For one, the contact center is still
deemed to be more lucrative and easier to enter than the MT industry. Furthermore,
entrepreneurs find it relatively easier to set up a call center than an MT company since
they need not tie-up with a hospital in the US. Furthermore, the MT industry is strongly
competing with caregiving and other medical-related alternatives. Even graduates of nonmedical courses consider nursing over medical transcription whenever they shift to a
medical-related career. While some graduates may be interested to consider medical
transcription, they do consider the opportunity cost of additional training which is usually
conducted for 6 months consisting of around 3 modules at a cost of P20,000 per module
or a total of P60,000 – P75,000 for all modules. Graduates of medical and allied courses
can cut short the training to 3 months or even less43 and focus on two modules only and
mostly on the Medical Style And Grammar and Medical Transcription Technology.
Some find it more worthwhile to spend on their training for caregiving since that will be
their entry point to work abroad and bring better opportunities for their families.
Furthermore, the difference between the salaries here and abroad is still a major factor
being considered.
Some managers have raised concerns on the quality of English proficiency of
some graduates which make them require the potential MT applicant to still complete all
the modules. The quality of English of our graduates needs upgrading.
Although we turn out an average of 30,000 graduates of medicine and alliedmedical fields, we face an alarming rise in the migration of doctors to become nurses
abroad based on the report of the Department of Health (2005). The salary of nurses in
the USA amount to US$4,000 per month plus the benefit of being able to bring one’s
family to the US. Registered nurses earn an average of US$150 per month here in the
Philippines (Galvez-Tan 2005). Any move to increase the salary scale of registered
nurses by at least three to four times is current level may help lessen the occurrence of
immigration. An increase in the income scale of government-employed registered nurses
through a government subsidy or grant may incentivize trained nurses to stay. The
rationale for a four-fold increase in salary would be human capital investment on the part
of the national government that would account for the marginal benefits contributed by
trained registered nurses to the smooth functioning of the health care system. Trained
and experienced nurses would act as managers of the hospital, as in the case of the
hospital management system in the United States. The function of managing the hospital
would suffice for a four-fold increase in salary as nurses are not trained technicians but
are licensed professionals. An improved salary scheme would differentiate trained
43

- 61 -
Draft Report
registered nurses from caregivers, the current manpower substitute for routine medical
check-ups.
The current local supply of registered nurses as of 2004 reached 1.8 million, a
third of which have received their license since 1991. Registered nurses of at least 10
years of practice may form the pool of trainors and may be qualified for the salary
increase as long as they are competent and qualified to manage a hospital system.
One major source of concern is the seemingly deteriorating quality of our
graduates as evidenced by the drop in the percentage of passers (from 56% in 1998 to
48% in 2004) in the licensure exams. A number of nursing schools have been established
leading to high enrollment rates but the number of graduates is low relative to the
enrollment data. There is a need to update and improve the curriculum of schools with
track records in nursing in order to increase the number of nursing graduates passing the
licensure exams. This would improve the number and future pool of trainors. In fact,
hospitals who have the capacity to pay and attract trained nurses from the United States
are slowly increasing their pool of recruits for nurses abroad who have plans of going
back to the Philippines.
A doctor who receives an average of P15,000 per month (or US$300) and is
supporting a family is definitely likely to be attracted by the financial returns of shifting
to nursing. Thus, the compensation scheme of our medical professionals (who will
become scarce resources and demand higher prices in the near future just to keep them
here without any other effort to create income generating activities) will need to be
addressed by the government. The problem is that doctors do not have much paying
patients here in the country. This is where health tourism becomes an alternative route of
providing income opportunities for them. A group of physicians led by Dr Emmanuel
Barrias who is based in Michigan formed a foundation called Doktor Ko Outreach
Foundation Inc. One of its projects is called LingkoDoktor (started early this year) under
which they finance a doctor's start up capital for three years (a total of around
US$30,000) so that he/she stays in the Philippines to practice medicine and not leave the
country for nursing opportunities abroad. So far they have one beneficiary in Cagayan.
The Philippine Medical Association has proposed strategic solutions to prevent
brain drain (also cited in Galvez-Tan 2005). These include the creation of a National
Health Service Act which will help program the deployment of medical professionals
abroad, creation of National Commission on Health Human Resources Development and
establishment of nursing registries.
Credentials of medical professionals are very critical in the success of health
tourism, retirement and even telehealth. The same is true with allied services such as
telecommunications and tourism. The different associations have set their own ways of
granting credentials to their members. Such credentials have to be aligned to
international standards in order to facilitate the movement of our professionals abroad
even on temporary basis.

Implications on Local Health Objectives
The effects of migration of medical workers have been widely discussed among
the various stakeholders. However, there is a need to further assess the possible risks of
health tourism and retirement. The first is extensive price discrimination against foreign
nationals. The cost of the medical care provided to retirees can be standardized within a
range or ceilings are set based on local rates (as practiced in Thailand). However, this is
still subject to further study and discussions among the stakeholders.
Another risk is the migration of public health workers to the private sector which
when left unchecked can lead to a deterioration of services to the general needy
population. Likewise, we cannot discount the possibility that the revenues generated by
these export services will be diverted to political programs of the government and not
necessarily used for the expansion of health care services. Failure of institutions can
deter the growth of the industry.

CHAPTER 4
STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
For a number of years, the Philippines has exploited mainly the opportunities for the
exports of our medical professionals. However, as shown in the previous chapters, other
markets and product niches can be exploited to our advantage if our domestic capabilities
are strengthened and our weaknesses are made irrelevant. The overall objective is to tap
exportable health services to support the delivery of better health care to our local
population.
We have the capability to participate in all modes of trade in health services as the
current empirical evidences have revealed. So what else do we need as country to make
trade work to our advantage?
There is no existing roadmap for the entire health services sector as far as exploring
the potentials and linkages of the various modes of health services. The Philippine Services
Coalition, composed of government, private sector and the academe, is working on
developing that roadmap under the Competitiveness Project.
Let us consider the following areas:
A.
Institutional Structure
A common denominator amongst countries which are exploiting the opportunities that
trade liberalization presents to the health service sector (such as Australia, Canada, Cuba,
Jordan, India, Sweden and the United Kingdom) is the existence of a national structure to
coordinate and promote participation in the global market by the health sector. Their
export strategies highlight the strong linkages between domestic production and external
markets of health care services. A public-private mix is ideal in the Philippines since this
will optimize scarce resources through a public and/or private-sector mix and create a
forum for addressing political and other concerns. The strategies are implemented by the
governments; public and private sectors; private sector associations; and individual
companies.
Such a national structure is important to bring together all sectors and networks to
develop common vision and strategies to increase awareness of the capabilities of the
country and its firms in the various modes of health services trade, identify barriers and
obstacles that hinder market access in local and foreign markets; pursue cooperation in an
environment of competition, develop and maintain database and identify strategies that will
minimize the negative impact on the local health care sector.
In the Philippines, what is that national structure? And who is on top of this national
structure? Is it the Task Force on Export Competitiveness or the NEDA? There are also
concerns on who is the lead agency in projects such as health or medical tourism? Is it
really the DOT or the DOH? This study notes that inter-agency meetings are held to define
incentives as in the case of the preparation for the Investments Priorities Plan and
Implementing Rules and Regulations. However, there is no unifying body that seeks to
address the development of the health services sector – that is, addressing local and
globalization issues.
- 64 -
Draft Report
We can consider the models of other countries:
o London Medicine was created in 1993 with sponsorship and support from London
medical and business communities, as well as local and national authorities. It has
two main objectives: promoting and developing business opportunities for London
Medicine's affiliates in order to increase the flows of clinical, educational and
research work in London's hospitals and medical schools, and to attract research
contracts and investment from British and international companies.
o Australia established the National Health Industry Development Forum (HIDF) in
1994 and implanted a programme of assistance to private firms, in an effort to bring
various parts of the health industry together and help develop a common focus. The
Forum is jointly convened by the ministries of industry and of health, with the
support of Austrade. Australia's export strategy is focusing on two of the modes of
supply, namely cross border trade and movement of consumers .
Singapore also has its own Singapore Medicine which has consciously repositioned
Singapore as a medical hub by focusing on more complicated procedures that do not
directly compete with Thailand.
Whatever national structure is created or defined by the government from the existing
structures should have clearly defined functions. And it should consider how to mitigate
the impact on the local health care sector.
B> Market and Product Niching and Development
There is no doubt that markets exist. The effective demand is already high relative to
the supply capabilities of OECD countries and even developing countries in Asia.
However, it is not yet very clear to us which markets we can and are capable to tap in the
short, medium and long term in both OECD and developing Asian countries. We have
been focusing on OECD countries, mainly the US and UK, who are in great need of
medical professionals for many years already. Thus, the main mode was for us to send our
workers there. Temporary migration can help upgrade the skills of these workers when
they come back. However, the timing of their deployment plus the risk of permanent
migration on their part (given that they can bring their families with them) can aggravate
the looming medical professional crisis and eventual collapse of our local health care
system. It is therefore important that we develop, package and market other products that
can serve the same traditional markets in OECD and minimize the risks mentioned. This is
where health tourism and retirement (under Mode 2) become very crucial. It is time now
for the citizens of these OECD countries to come, visit, spend and eventually retire here.
The impact of this mode is very significant in the sense that their consumption and medical
care expenditures here in the Philippines will create multiplier effects on the local
economy. Tourism for instance, has the capability to generate direct and indirect output
effects of around 2 pesos and twenty five centavos for every 1 peso spending by a tourist.
Tele-health is an unexplored service that we can provide to our neighboring Asian
countries. It can be in the form of tele-education between our top hospitals and facilities or
schools. Tele-diagnosis is also part of pre-health tourism and post-health tourism.
- 65 -
Draft Report
Currently, we lack an inventory of facilities and capabilities of our medical providers
and related or allied industries. Such inventory is needed for us to be able to develop and
package sets of services that we can sell abroad. Yes, beauty holidays and some health
tourism products are already existing. But we can offer other products under tele-health
(Mode 1) and commercial presence (Mode 3). Perhaps in the medium term, our top
facilities can consider expanding their presence abroad, setting up satellite clinics or offices
and contribute to revenue generation. Such mode can be linked to telehealth (mode 1)
when these satellite offices send their diagnosis via telemedicine to their main facilities
here in the Philippines. Such arrangement can likewise serve to prepare patients for health
tourism. Post tele-diagnosis can therefore serve as another revenue source when these
patients return to their countries of residence.
We can also invite foreign investments to help us upgrade our health facilities and
services. Asian Hospital, for instance, was able to partner with Bumrungrad International
and this partnership is expected to change the nature of competition among hospitals and
the positioning of Asian Hospital in the region. We can also attract investments in our
schools to upgrade the quality of the curriculum and facilities which can likewise attract
foreign students to study medicine and related courses. Or we can aggressively pursue the
Chinese strategy of forming health teams working abroad on contract - both in the
framework of aid programmes or on a strictly commercial basis. Chinese institutions enter
into agreements with foreign governments – mostly local authorities - or directly with
medical institutions. It has opened more than a dozen traditional Chinese medicine medical
facilities in more than twenty countries. This is the same strategy being pursued by India’s
Apollo Clinic which is also looking at the Philippines for its expansion. This strategy
requires developing a brand of services to be exported abroad. Singapore’s Parkway Health
Group developed the Gleneagles International brand as part of this strategy. The Raffles
Medical Group is building up strategic alliances overseas by developing triangular business
associations with healthcare organizations from developed countries, to venture into third
countries in partnership with host country investors.
We can also consider the strategy of Australia in medical education. To facilitate the
flows of foreign patients to public and private clinics Australia has established a medical
visa. Public medical schools are training foreigners in many areas of health. To meet
foreign demand, Australian medical schools have created specialized international
departments, set up joint ventures with foreign universities and opened medical schools in
the target markets. As result of the above strategy, the incomes earned from overseas
training activities contribute up to 20 percent to universities' budgets.
While these possibilities can be realized, there is a need for a roadmap for the
liberalization of health services. Where do we want to be in the next five years or ten or
twenty years? This roadmap will likewise enable us to phase in limited budget for
infrastructure spending.
Even for health tourism and retirement, there is a need to specifically identify target
markets in the short and medium term. It should be noted that infrastructure constraints
related to the air access between the Philippines and some markets can only be overcome
by renegotiating bilateral air service agreements (which can take a number of years) or
becoming part of regional arrangements as in the case of the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations.
- 66 -
Draft Report
Market intelligence is needed by private stakeholders. This is where the linkages with
government can be exploited through the services to be provided by commercial and
diplomatic offices abroad. Such service can reduce search costs on the part of private
sector.
C.
Firm Infrastructure
There is a need for the industry to collect more accurate estimates of the industry or
market size (in volume and value) in order to highlight the possible business opportunities
in the sector. Lack of information on opportunities, is in all likelihood, the single biggest
obstacle that developing countries face.
Networks with Filipino-American medical professionals should be established in
order to attract them to outsource their transcription needs to the Philippines. These
medical associations hold annual meetings or conferences. The Department of Foreign
Affairs and the Department of Trade and Industry can facilitate in providing market
information to the industry players.
Marketing infrastructure needs to be improved. We need to increase our presence in
the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Events (MICE) market by providing competitive
bids for medical meetings or congresses. This is a way by which we can expose our
capabilities and become a health hub
Associations (travel and medical and educational) can pursue to hold symposia or
meetings to discuss latest issues and propose strategies to the government. There is a
greater need for the medical sector to participate in talks on the liberalization of the health
services sector
Travel agencies, medical providers and allied services need to link up their core
competencies to help concentrate on delivering quality services.
A cluster-based approach must be drafted by both the government and private sector
as starting point for the development of a roadmap for the industry. This approach has been
initiated with the support of IT as in the case of the websites of providers such as
Infomediary and clinics already engaged in health tourism. The main rationale is to reduce
the transaction costs on the part of the consumers and on the part of the providers as well.
These clusters should be linked up with the DOT, DTI and DOH websites.
D.
Human Resource Development
Apart from those cited in the previous chapters, it should be noted that growth of the
health care industry in the Philippines is constrained by the lack of internationally
accredited health care facilities, massive deployment of health care professionals and the
presence of a social insurance system that is at the initial stage of universal social health
insurance coverage.
The aggressive move of the Thai government to make health care accessible for all
meant the equivalent of P 2,000 health care insurance benefits for each 46.6 million Thai
nationals starting 2002. This move is foreseen to increase the demand for health care
provided either by public or private providers. The contingency fund of Baht 5.168 million
- 67 -
Draft Report
for the development of hospitals facing deficits and another Baht 5.168 million for human
resource development is expected to transform the health care sector in Thailand in two to
three years to be abreast with internationally accredited health care services.
The additional health care insurance benefit made available by the Thai government
is meant to increase the utilization of the currently existing facilities thereby promoting
medical tourism, geared primarily towards out-patient care (i.e. health promotion, primary
care and sickness prevention), even among locals.
Any move on the part of the central government to allow Filipinos to increase health
benefits would contribute to increasing output and incomes of health care professionals of
the health care industry by at least 30%. On the other hand, an increase in the amount of
health care spending via an increase in benefits allowable via social health insurance is
likely to increase the demand for health care by at least three times. This would mean that
PHILHEALTH may have to refine its schedule of premium contributions for monthly gross
income ranges higher than P 30,000. Individuals may be given an option to purchase more
social health care insurance incentivized through an income tax exemption similar to tax
exemptions given for every purchase of health insurance at annual premiums of at least P
2,500.
As a whole, strengthening the capacity of PHILHEALTH as a health insurer is likely
to achieve a strong ripple effect to the development of other sectors in the health care
industry, particularly, among its providers.
The government should consider more closely the proposal to create the National
Commission on Health Human Resources Development (as cited in Galvez Tan 2005). This
will help improve the Philippines’ competitive position on the other modes of health
services trade.
This paper explored the opportunities, risks and possible strategies that the country
can pursue in order to exploit the potentials from health services trade. However, a
roadmap must be developed soon to allow us to focus our resources on revenue generating
markets and based on our competencies. Broader consultations need to be conducted
particularly in the areas of Mode 1 (telemedicine) and Mode 3 (commercial presence)
because of the implications on the health care providers, primarily hospitals and ambulatory
clinics.

CASE STUDY: THE PRIVATE HOSPITAL INDUSTRY
This section focuses on the current competitive market behavior of health care providers,
particularly hospitals and medical equipment distributors, in order to provide quality health
care. Sparse information can be obtained on industry-standardized indicators. Thus, efforts
by providers to improve service quality shall be measured from their fixed asset purchases.
VALUE ADDED IN THE PRIVATE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY AND HUMAN CAPITAL
Investments in fixed assets in the private health care industry is accompanied by the apt
medical professional able to utilize such investments. As a consequence, investments in
medical equipment in the industry is proportional to the number of medical professionals
employed by the providers. This can be seen by the high correlation between the total book
value of fixed assets and employment. The high correlation between these two variables
shall be combined and shall be considered in the report as a human capital indicator.

From Figure I.2 it can be observed that a sudden increase in fixed asset investments
from 2000 to 2002 have been incurred, but, without a proportional increase in employment.
This indicates that the industry has currently relied on its set of medical professionals to be
able to render an increased level of quality service. It can be observed from Figure I.4 that
the health care providers who incurred the increased fixed asset investments from 2000 to
2002 have been the top 3 hospitals in the National Capital Region. These three hospitals
account for 22% of total book value of fixed assets in the private health care sector. The
top 3 hospitals include St. Luke’s Medical Center, Professional Services, Inc. (Medical
City) and Medical Doctors, Inc. (Makati Medical Center).44
The amount allotted by the three major private hospitals in the National Capital
Region shows that from the past decade, they have been preparing for the acquisition of
medical equipment. This investment far exceeds the needs of government health care
providers.
The consequences of these key areas to the development, namely, network
infrastructure through linkages, manpower development and training, and, technology
development, within the medical services and health-related sectors shall be discussed.
These three key points become advantageous to the industry upon the establishment of
closer linkages among the health-related sectors. Such links can be motivated by the
leading hospitals which currently have the market power to offer health treatments and
benefit packages that would cater to different market segments.
No financial statements for Asian Hospital could be obtained as full operations have been formally opened
since 2002 only.

C. HOSPITAL QUALITY STANDARDS
HOSPITALS IN NCR
AND
CAPITAL INVESTMENTS
OF THE
TOP PRIVATE
The key indicator to be used in the study would be the level of investments of top private
hospitals, and particularly, the performance of the top 3 private hospitals in the National
Capital Region. It can be observed from Figure I.4 that the total fixed assets of the top 3
private hospitals in NCR follow the over-all trend of the total book value of fixed assets of
the private health care industry.
Private hospitals only account for half the number of hospital beds in the country as
of 2001, with the other half accounted for by government hospitals (See Figure I.5). While
the private hospital industry accounts for half of hospital bed providers, they account for
the majority of fixed assets investments in the health care industry. This can be deduced
from the fact that the top 3 private hospitals in NCR have invested a total of P 8 billion in
fixed assets from 2000 to 2003, or about 33% of the total amount needed to modernize
government hospitals and health care facilities. The investments of the chosen private
- 71 -

hospitals would then be an indicator of the level of hospital quality being achieved in the
NCR.

It can be observed from Figure I.5 that while more fixed assets have been purchased
by private hospitals, the number of beds has not increased. Existing private hospitals have
therefore opted to improve the quality of hospital care through the acquisition of more
medical equipment, rather than increasing the level of access through the provision of more
hospital beds. The P 28 billion allotted for government hospitals is aimed towards the
modernization and rehabilitation of the existing hospitals. The amount still does not
include the purchase of medical equipment.
D. THEORETICAL APPROACH
The basis for the analysis of the modes through which trade in services in the medical and
health-related sector may come about is based on the following framework. From Figure
I.1, the eventual development of the medical tourism sector, a key industry in the
international services trade, would need the simultaneous development of the private health
care industry. It can only come about through the improvement of the health care service
quality. The report focuses on the ability of the hospital industry to provide quality heath
care services. The discussion proceeds in the following manner.
First, the focus placed on the hospital industry as a key driver in the establishment
of quality health care services apt for international services trade is due to the perceived
presence of location linkages, or linkages spurred by the presence or concentration of
- 72 -
Draft Report
market activity in the specific geographical market of area, which is initiated in the private
health care industry through the activity of reputable hospitals. The presence of efficient
location linkages shall be discussed in chapter 2. With the presence of location linkages,
there is therefore an argument for the establishment of a private health care services area or
health care zone. The zone need not be bounded, i.e. territorial. It only depicts the string
presence of shared market activity among the firms established within the same area or
zone.
Second, the strength of market linkages initiated by location-specific factors can
come about with the development of health care services quality. The competitive behavior
of the providers shall be analyzed as follows. The factors explaining how health care
quality can be improved will be based on the approach that private providers, who account
for 50% of the amount of health care services provided in the country, are able to price their
services based on the willingness to pay of consumers.
Consumers with a high
willingness to pay are serviced by private providers. Consumers with a low willingness to
pay are primarily serviced by public health care service establishments. The willingness to
pay approach is applicable to the Philippines due to the dependence of health care financing
on out-of-pocket payments. The indicator used for willingness to pay shall be income.
The study focuses on the factors affecting the decision of private providers to
supply health care services. Private providers behave as profit-maximizing firms whose
decisions include the level of quality of health care services to be supplied. In a market
where a small fraction of income, i.e. less than 2%, is spent on health care, private
providers compete on the basis of quality and volume of health care services, rather than on
the basis of price.
Firms aim to maximize profits where profits is a function of the demand for health
care services, utilization cost, and investments on medical equipment. The functional
relationships among the variables are:
Revenues = f { demand (+), price (-), quality improvements (-), utilization cost (-) }
These relationships shall be operationalized using the following indicators:
Profitability = f { real gross value added of the private health care industry or RGVA (+),
implicit price index of the gross value added of the private health care industry or IPIGVA
(-), investments in fixed assets (-), health expenditures (-) }
The investment decision is a decision to improve quality health care and is a
function of the price charged to patients for the use of the health care service, demand from
consumers with a high willingness to pay and linkages within the health care industry. The
presence of linkages in the industry is incorporated in the analysis due to the spatial
characteristic of the demand for health care services.
The competitive behavior of firms or providers as well as the role of health care
professionals in the provision of quality health care shall be discussed in chapters 3 and 5
respectively.

Notes:
(1) The value refers to the industry’s order or position out of 43 industries.
(2) Only 36 industries are considered.
IN SUMMARY. The wide backward effects of the output multipliers for the health care
services sector, with the exception of life and non-life insurance, indicates that the health
care sector and related industries benefit largely for every increase in demand. Also, an
increase in output in the economy translates to an increase in income in the same sectors.
An implication in these indicators is that any increase in demand for health care services
and related industries is beneficial to the development of the health care sector itself, not
only in terms of output but also in terms of income of health care professionals. The
increase in income is estimated to be 30% for every increase in the output for the entire
economy.
One final note. Even if an industry may rank low with respect to its multiplier
value, the multipliers in themselves already generate positive changes that benefit the
industry. Moreover, although the model assumes that there are no large structural changes
in the economy, the multiplier effects generated reflect the economic conditions during the
period in which the input-output table was constructed.
C.
LOCATION OR SPATIAL ANALYSIS
Hospitals, being the most important institutional recipient of the country’s financial
resources for health, warrant a study on the way its resources are distributed to the different
- 74 -
Draft Report
regions of the Philippines. While there is still a lot to be gained in terms of equity in such a
distribution, this paper emphasizes the need for location efficiency in any policy directed
towards rectifying the problem. Hence, this article aims to prescribe an optimal policy rule
that can balance both equity and efficiency, taking into consideration that there is the
perpetual trade-off between these two objectives.
In search of an optimal policy rule, certain considerations were considered. Equity
objectives can easily be satisfied if the standard bed-to-population ratios and concentration
ratios are studied. However, a major contribution of this article is to reconcile such
standards with equity45 and efficiency46 in the allocation of the country’s health resources.
The number of beds per province and region was used as the indicator for hospital
resources. The theory on the new economic geography was used as a basis. In essence, the
theory states that if the criteria for the distribution of these resources follow market forces,
then policy prescriptions targeted to correct the situation can be both efficient and
sustainable. The theoretical basis of the study is empirically verified using the Hirschman
input-output forward and backward linkages as the main market force working towards the
agglomeration47of the hospital industry in certain regions of the country. By bringing this
aspect into light, one can arrive at an optimal policy rule that balances both equity and
efficiency standards in the distribution of health and medical resources.
ON THE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTH RESOURCES. In the Philippines, as in every
developing country, there is the perpetual problem of health and medical resources not
reaching the majority of the population who are poor. This can be seen in the substantial
differences in welfare indicators across the different regions of the country. For instance,
the difference in life expectancy between the capital region and Western Mindanao is larger
than the difference in average life expectancy between 1960 and 1980.48 Mortality rates for
all ages and for infants are higher in regions with a very high incidence of poverty. Data on
differential mortality show that, in general, the poor have higher mortality rates than the
economically better off. The infant mortality rate is higher in rural areas where the
majority of the poor are located. In the same the World Bank report, a high correlation was
found to exist between these mortality rate with poor environmental sanitation, crowding
and congestion arising from inadequate housing and low income. The situation has not
changed much over the years. Current trends do not favor rapid improvements in health
status in the medium term unless major and highly focused interventions are put in place.
ON THE EFFICIENT DISTRIBUTION OF HEALTH RESOURCES. The problem, however, with the
current distribution of resources in any geographical unity is that location decisions of
plants and firms are governed by market forces. First, government intervention in the area
of geographical location of firms and plants is not a widely accepted view. Even after the
so-called Keynesian revolution in economic thought, government intervention in economic
Refers to locational equity. This means that an equitable outcome is one that allows equal access to hospital
services in every region of the country. Specifically, an equitable outcome is one where the hospital industry
reaches the whole population equally in other regions.
46 Refers to locational efficiency. An efficient location is one that follows decisions on input and output backward
and forward linkages. Central to this is the location of firms and industries where there is a large market access.
If location is based on the identified market forces that contribute to agglomeration, then it is said to be efficient.
47 Refers to the geographic concentration of firms and industries. Firms and industries that tend to cluster or
agglomerate are able to achieve gains from locating in such areas.

forces remains a controversial issue. In trying to solve this problem of unequal distribution
of wealth among regions of the same country, many prescriptions for economic policy have
focused on redistribution. However, it is necessary to judge a redistributive scheme on both
efficiency and equity terms. Advocates of equality of income argue that even if all barriers
are removed, the resulting distribution of income will still be too inequitable; therefore, it is
appropriate and necessary to undertake the policies to redistribute income. However, some
programs designed to achieve the said objective involve the big trade-off between
efficiency and equity. Considering these two criteria makes the task of redistribution
complicated, if not outright impossible.
Second, such as policy prescription fails to address the underlying forces that have
led to the imminent problem in like manner when you target symptoms but not the source
of the disease. When policy makers decide to interfere in a market for redistributive
purposes, they must first assess the extent of the resultant market disequilibria. The nature
of markets is a powerful determinant of how distribution occurs and whom it affects.
Without a firm background on the role of the market as an allocator of resources, such
policies may just result to economic backlash. These will occur due to a simple failure to
understand the proper relationships of supply and demand. Hence, efficiency standards
need not, and should not, necessarily be done away with then targeting equity in the
distribution of some good.
An awareness, therefore, of the market mechanisms behind such a distribution is
both important and necessary. The very nature of the service talked about here warrants
such an analysis. While it is true that health is a right that should be made available to
everyone, it is also true that this good is not a pure public good that can easily be
distributed and made readily available by the government to everyone. Public goods are
characterized by non-rivalry49 and non-exclusivity50. However, hospital services have a
certain level of rivalry and exclusivity when provided so that while equity is an ideal
situation, the government is limited in its policies targeted at the distribution of hospital
services. Hence, efficiency has likewise to be satisfied.
In the analysis of both equity and efficiency in location theory, a wide array of
literature exists. Economic theories explaining the spatial dispersion of the production of
certain industries abound. Many theorists have tried to explain why within a region,
economic activities conglomerate at a few centers rather than form a pattern of even
dispersion over the region as a whole51.
C.1
HOW DO WE ACHIEVE AN OPTIMAL POLICY RULE?
The optimal policy rule is based on a locational equitable and efficient criteria for
choice. The location chosen is Luzon, thereby comparing indices from the National Capital
Region, Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR) and, Regions 1 to 5.
EQUITY CRITERIA. The equity factor in the health sector involves two aspects: (1)
equity in the distribution of health; and (2) equity in the financing of health services. This
This refers to goods that can be made available to everyone without affecting any other individual’s opportunity
for consuming them.

49

Draft Report
paper focuses on the first point; that is, government must assure that all who require certain
health services, regardless of geographic locale or income status, have equal opportunity to
receive them.
With the view that equity has first to be attained, the Department of Health (DOH)
of the Philippines has included among its thrusts and directives the need to extend its
services to the majority of the Filipinos who are poor. The National Health Plan has
enumerated policies that should address the matter. One of them is the rationalization of
hospital services and facilities based on needs. This states that DOH hospitals shall give
priority to serving the indigent and underserved population. Meanwhile, private hospital
expansion will be encouraged in areas with low bed-to-population ratios.
Existing policies targeted at the hospital sector, however, are still short of attaining
this end. De Ferranti (1985)52 finds that these policies in developing countries have failed
to address the huge disparities present in the distribution of resources from budget sources
(ie. across urban or rural provinces) and that only the advantaged groups such as higher
income groups have benefited from such policies. Social redistribution directed at this
problem, however, are seen to be socially inefficient.
From these, it can be considered that hospital bed-to-population ratio is an index
that can provide equity standards in the allocation of health resources. In fact, the National
Health Plan of the Philippines has specified this as a measure to be followed in its goal to
achieve equity. In addition, Adorna (1976) used the Gini concentration ratio as an indicator
of where to redistribute hospital resources from areas with a high concentration of these
services to those who are in more need of it. This can also be used to address the equity
issue.
EFFICIENCY CRITERIA. If equity were the only concern, then the allocation of health
resources would be straightforward: resources should be directed to those regions with a
low bed-to-population ratio and a high Gini coefficient. However, the matter is more
complicated than it seems. The need for efficiency in the allocation of these resources
stems from the fact that additional hospital beds in a region would be useless if market
forces dictate that it would be more sensible and practical if these were located elsewhere.
In the formulation of an optimal policy rule, the theory on the “new economic geography”
provides a basis for efficiency standards.
Krugman (1991) integrates the concept of linkages in the clustering of industry.
The main motivation for plants and firms governed by increasing returns to locate near each
other is to minimize transportation costs. This will only be possible, given immobile
resources, to locate in areas with a large demand located within its environs, ie. nearby
towns or cities. This leads to the creation of forward linkages. Moreover, firms also
consider proximity to its suppliers as further scope for minimizing transportation costs.
This, on the other hand refers to backward linkages.
The next question that Krugman wishes to answer is in which areas will such
linkages be high. He answers by saying that linkages will be high precisely where
industrial production is concentrated. There has to be an interaction of self-reinforcing

forces that make the concentration of production a sustainable and necessary outcome53.
For a cluster of sectors to develop, output of some firms and industries serve as inputs to
other firms and industries54. Such inputs and outputs can range from manufacturing,
distribution, communication and financial services. The constant and almost circular
relationship of economic activity among groups of industries encourages local production.
Thus, the efficiency criteria is based on a high output, specialization and employment index
using input-output table analysis to indicate the scope of private health care sector’s activity
in the area, and, to determine intra-industry and inter-industry linkages55 between the main
cities of private health care activity and its environs. This criteria is chosen because the
study hypothesizes that the firm or cluster of firms would want to locate in an areas which
is already oriented towards the private health care industry to take advantage of the existing
linkages.
METHODOLOGY. This study attempts to demonstrate that inter-regional input-output
model can be an appropriate and useful technique in analyzing the geographic
concentration of industrial activity. The objective of an inter-regional inter-industry inputoutput analysis is a matrix of input-output coefficients identified not only by industry but
also by geographic areas or regions. The desirability of using input-output techniques in
regional analysis stems from the fact that it is an empirically workable model that provides
an organizational framework and a set of consistency checks.
Input-output techniques also have their limitations. First, there is no full set of
compatible regional input-output tables in the Philippines from which an inter-regional
analysis could be performed. Hence, the study resorts to the use of non-survey methods,
particularly, the location quotient, to construct a regional table. The national input-output
table used is the 1994 59 x 59 table for lack of a more recent table. Another drawback is
that regional input-output models cannot be used for long-run policy analysis or long-term
forecasting, especially if a country experiences rapid structural change. And while a
developing country such as the Philippines aims at structural transformation (ie. changes in
production functions and input coefficients), such a technique remains attractive because of
its flexibility and versatility. Therefore, the use of the inter-regional input-output model
will be limited to medium-term applications.56 Given this methodology, this study is
among the few in which input-output techniques are used to check for the backward and
forward linkages that lead to industrial agglomeration.
IN SUMMARY, the equity criteria will indicate those regions lacking in bed supply. The
efficiency criteria will be based on a ranking by descending order of the HirschmanHerfindahl ratio (indicator of market concentration), Gini-Balassa ratio (indicator of market

The underlying assumption here is that firms deciding to locate within a cluster of industries have
considered that the effect on revenues of greater inter-regional and inter-industry linkages more than offsets
transportation and wage costs. This assumption is not empirically verified due to the lack of inter-industry
and region specific data on transportation costs and wages.

means that uniform production functions for various industries throughout the country exist, ie. a production
function that exhibits diminishing returns to scale, (2) no significant technological developments have taken place
from 1994 to the present, (3) no significant or major structural change or nay random events have occurred. The

access), specialization ratio (indicator of manpower access), and, centrality index (indicator
for core region) on the regions of Luzon. An impact or linkage criteria will be done
through the manipulation the inter-regional and inter-industry input-output tables. This will
lead to the achievement of regional inter-industry and regional intra-industry linkages and
multipliers determining those regions having a central role in the economic development of
other regions through a growth stimulation of the private health care industry. Once these
regions are determined, one has to verify whether or not the economic linkages are selfreinforcing. This is the sustainability criteria. According to Venables (1996)57, inputoutput linkages will only be self-reinforcing if a circular causation is found to exist between
forward and backward linkages. This means that forward linkages can strengthen
backward linkages and vice-versa, only if an increase in output of one industry leads to the
increase in output of both its upstream and downstream industries. Only when these
linkages are self-reinforcing can it be said that concentration will be sustainable without the
help of exogenous factors such as government support and the like.
C.2
EMPIRICAL RESULTS
The discussion on empirical results shall be grouped as equity, efficiency, impact or
linkages and sustainability criteria.
EQUITY CRITERIA. Hospital distribution appears to be very unequal in 1994 with a
Gini coefficient of 0.9712. However, this has decreased over the years up to 1997. The
decline has been steady, having a coefficient of 0.4225 in 1997, which is above the range
for developing countries given by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP).
However, this is still above the relatively even range of 0.20 to 0.35 criteria of UNDP.
Combining the Gini ratios on the national and regional levels, it is obvious that
while the over-all distribution among the regions has improved over the time period in
question, the distribution per province has not changed much. The bed-to-population ratios
for each of the provinces show that very little has been done to improve the situation, and
that despite the target ratio of 1:500 by the Department of Health, only a few select
provinces have achieved this standard. To be exact, only six out of the total 92 provinces
included in the analysis had a ratio of less than 1:500 in 199758. (See Table 1)
The difference, however, between NCR and Region 4 is that the latter has a far
greater bed-to-population ratio than the former. NCR has actually passed the target ratio
with 1 bed per 359 persons. Region 4, on the other hand, has to service 1,169 persons with
just 1 bed. By looking closely into these figures, it can be seen that this region has in fact
one of the lowest ratios in the Philippines. Combining the results of the Gini ratio and the
bed-to-population ratio, Region 4 has more to gain in terms of equity, as compared to NCR,
if additional hospital beds were to be placed here. While having one of the highest Gini
ratios, it also has one of the lowest bed-to-population ratios.
Integrating all these results, it can be seen that Region 4 is actually in more need of
the hospital resources (in terms of hospital beds) of the country. With one of the lowest

ratios, equity is best achieved if additional hospital beds were located there. NCR, on the
other hand, has the highest ratio, that is, highest level of maldistribution of hospital beds, as
compared to the other regions of the country. For instance, as of 1997, the bed-topopulation among the different municipalities in NCR ranged from 1:62 (Mandaluyong),
1:219 (Manila), 1:343 (San Juan), to 1:2915 (Pateros/Taguig) and 1:7537 (Malabon).
The results of Table 1 may be summarized as NCR, Regions 3 and 4 having met the
criteria of need for greater health care resources, primarily due to the maldistribution of
hospital beds. Regions 3 and 4 are in need of more supply of hospital beds located in either
private of government hospitals. Of the two regions, Region 4 seems to be in greater need
of hospital beds, thereby making it a location that meets the equity criteria.

EFFICIENCY CRITERIA. A summary of the efficiency and equity criteria shall be
presented in Table 2. An over-all picture of hospital bed supply and distribution was shown
in Table 1. It tells us that the lack of supply and maldistribution of hospital beds happens
not only in Luzon but in the Visayas and Mindanao regions as well.
Among the efficiency criteria, NCR meets the criteria for greatest locational
efficiency in terms of market access of health care resources, it being the core of health care
activity in Luzon. This is because the hospital beds and health care manpower are located
in areas accessible to the market served, that is, for consumers located within and outside
- 80 -
Draft Report
the region. The centrality index for NCR also shows that it is indeed the core of the health
care sector in Luzon, having the highest index. Its market access extends to Regions 3 and
4, but, the greatest impact of the health care sector is felt within NCR itself. This result
strengthens the fact that NCR is the core of the private health care industry in Luzon.

However, while the equity criteria shows that locating more hospital beds in
Regions 3 and 4 are equitable, one has to see which region is a more efficient market.
Region 4 shows that it has more market access as it has a greater concentration of hospital
beds in primary, secondary and tertiary hospitals than Region 3. Thus, both NCR and
Region 4 meet the efficiency criteria. Since both NCR and Region 4 meet the criteria for
centrality, specialization and market access, this means that locating in either of the two
regions would entail the most benefits from agglomeration. This is possible due to the
input-output linkages existing in these regions as proposed by the “new economic
geography” theory.
IMPACT OR LINKAGES CRITERIA. A reassessment of the locational efficiency will be
done in the light of the theory of the “new economic geography.” This tries to answer the
question of whether or not the policy prescription of equity and efficiency can be sustained.
This will be based on the conclusion obtained from the inter-regional and intra-regional
output, income and employment multipliers.
The multipliers in Table 3 denote that it would be more efficient to induce a change
in either NCR or Region 4 as both regions will influence from within the regions and its
periphery the highest increase in output and income, ie. a PhP 2.30 to PhP 2.40 increase in
- 81 -
Draft Report
output and a PhP 1.52 to PhP 1.53 increase in income for every PhP 1.00 increase in the
output and value added of the private health care sector. The trade-off is that CAR would
not be able to realize a PhP 0.12 increase in employment compensation if the inducement
were not put into that region. The impact criterion stresses the amount of economic activity
that would result in infusing more resources in the private health care industry of NCR and
Region 4, ie. via increasing the number of hospital beds, of the regions which meet the
efficiency criteria.

Notes: Boldfaced numbers denote the highest level of multipliers. (1) Inter-regional multipliers show the effect
of an increase in output, income and employment in the peripheral regions for every peso change in the final
demand of a particular sector in the region. (2) Intra-regional multipliers show the effect of an increase in the
output, income and employment of all sectors within the region produced by a peso worth of output, income or
employment in the private health care industry of the region. (3) The sum of the inter-regional and intra-regional
multipliers.
These multipliers are going to be achieved only if we can assume that there are no
demand constraints, for example, consumers can afford the hospital room rates, and, that at
least there is no surplus of hospital beds.
SUSTAINABILITY CRITERIA. The next problem that the study wishes to investigate is
whether the current concentration of hospital beds in NCR is sustainable. In other words,
will the forces of backward and forward input-output linkages be self-reinforcing?
Venables (1996) says that for a downstream industry to bestow a source of backward
linkage for an upstream industry, not only should a buyer-supplier relationship between the
two exist, but also that an increase in the output of the downstream industry should induce
the upstream industry to produce more efficiently through the creation of a larger market
for its products. Similarly, the downstream industry will enjoy the benefits of forward
linkages only in so far as an increase in the output of an upstream industry would allow it to
produce more efficiently.
With a 50% increase in output and income in the private health care industry, it has
been shown that such an increase has positive effects with the other industries closely
linked with it. Specifically, it increases the output and income of 27 industries (due to
output increase) and 29 industries (due to income increase) in both NCR and the rest of
- 82 -
Draft Report
Luzon, over and above what the case would be if the inducement were made in other
regions. In the case of Region 4, a total of 13 out of 45 industries would benefit for every
50% increase in output and 16 industries would benefit for every 50% increase in income
of the private health care industry in Region 4.
This leads us to conclude that indeed, with the current maldistribution of hospital
beds in the NCR and Region 4, the inducement to increase output or income in the private
health care industry resulting into an increase in the output and income of the other regions,
would be sustainable, based on vertical linkages with both upstream and downstream
industries. This result has been verified using hospital beds as the indicator for the
inducement that would increase health care resources in either NCR or Region 4.
These results are not far from what is currently happening in the hospital industry.
By the end of 2002, Asian Hospital is expected to fully launch its 250-bed capacity state-ofthe-art hospital which is located near C-5 and Parañaque serving the peripheral areas of
Makati, Las Piñas, Cavite and Laguna. The building’s equipment and manpower resources
have the potential to double its bed capacity. Medical City is also building a 500 bedcapacity hospital and is scheduled to be operational by 2004 serving the peripheral areas of
San Juan, Mandaluyong, Marikina, Pateros and Taguig and the municipalities of Rizal such
as Antipolo, Angono and Taytay. In spite of these additional hospital beds, there continues
to be a dearth of hospital beds in the northern part of NCR which could serve the areas of
Malabon, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela and Bulacan.
C.3
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The optimal policy rule that can be obtained from these findings is that equity
objectives in the allocation of health resources in the Philippines can be made consistent
with locational efficiency if one works within the market forces that move in favor of the
concentration of these resources. The theory of the “new economic geography” has given
us a basis for the current distribution; input-output linkages indeed do play a major role in
the clustering of hospitals in certain regions of the country. The presence of strong demand
linkages in Region 4, together with the finding that allocation would be equitable if targeted
there, provides a balance between equity and efficiency.
A few recommendations can be made. First, if an equitable outcome is the main
objective of a policy directed at the hospital industry, policy-makers should target those
regions in which the net economic loss is minimized, using the result of impact multipliers.
The trade off consists in empirically verifying the linkages that would be lost if the region
would not receive an inducement, ie. more health care investments or hospital beds.
Second, the incorporation of inter-regional and inter-industry industries in the
criteria would help denote the comparative advantage of such an inducement if realized.
Knowing that efficiency increases in labor in capital can work in favor of agglomeration,
the government can give priority to the education and productivity of labor and capital to
help induce development in the industry of interest.
Lastly, recognizing the important factors to consider in choosing a location,
potential hospitals can use linkages as a criterion by which they can have the greatest gains.
Though the results from the criteria have a direct effect on the private hospital industry,
- 83 -
Draft Report
these criteria can also be useful to public hospital administrators because they too have to
be guided by the intention of being able to produce the same services efficiently.
B.
PROVIDERS OF HEALTH CARE: PRIVATE HOSPITALS
Hospitals, a P 21 billion industry as of 1997, are perhaps the most important institutional
recipient of the country’s financial resources for health. As of 2002, the Philippines has a
per capita income of about US$ 1,700 and the private health care industry accounts only
1.14% of Gross Domestic Product. While an average of 8.99% of the gross value added of
the total services industry group are accounted for by private medical and health services,
private hospitals are the main providers of health as they account for 74% of the private
health industry’s gross value added. In the Philippines alone, most of the large private
hospitals, 11.30%, are located in the National Capital Region where average annual income
is the highest for the whole country. The hospitals account for close to a third of the
country’s private hospital bed capacity. The industry has capacity for backward linkages,
this means that it has a better impact in terms of acquiring inputs from other sectors. This
may be in the form of drugs, medicine and other medical supplies. However, the backward
linkage is relatively low in comparison to other industries because, except for those
mentioned, most of the inputs of hospitals are imported.

The private hospital sector is currently threatened in its financial viability. This may
explain the marked decrease in the number of hospitals and beds from 1964 to 2003.
Among the major problems are:
•
•
Increasing hospital operating expenses
High level of bad debts and uncollected accounts

These problems may manifest the reason why the number of hospitals and beds in
the Philippines have a decreasing trend since 1964. From the current figures reported by
the Department of Health, the private hospital industry has not yet reached the capacity
1,227 hospitals with a total of 42,351 beds in 1984. Since then, capacity in terms f the
number of hospitals and beds have substantially declined.

Achieving financial viability is essential for hospitals to satisfactorily achieve its
social responsibility of providing health care. Private hospitals could carry out more
socially responsible programs in health promotion, health prevention and primary health
care if they have a stable financial position. Because of these problems, private hospitals
are expected to shift their costs to some of their patients in order to maintain a high level of
profits. However, recently private hospitals are hounded by the problem of low returns
from HMO operations. The rationale for this is that contracts made with HMOs result in
low charges for HMO enrollees that impels them to charge insured patients higher. The
industry may have to overcome these obstacles as their crucial role of providing health care
cannot easily be substituted by home care.
This section aims to present facts about the private hospital industry’s performance
and give insights as to how it can achieve a healthier financial position.
B.1
INDUSTRY DEFINITION, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Private Hospital Industry, according to the Philippine Standard Industry
Classification, is defined as: Private medical service establishments accepting patients for
treatment and confinement of more than 24 hours, under the direct care of the physician.
[Philippine Standard Industry Classification, 1977] Furthermore, the scope of this industry
includes, according to Section 16 of R.A. 4226, privately owned hospitals, established and
operated with funds raised or contributed through donations, or by private capital or other
means by private individuals, association, corporation, religious organizations, firm
company or joint stock association. They can either be general (provides services for all
kinds of illnesses, diseases, injuries or deformities) or special (provides services for one
particular kind of illness/disease or health medical need).
Private hospitals are further classified according to levels of complexity or
specialization. The hospital system in the Philippines is basically a three-tier mode. The
three levels are tertiary, secondary and primary. Each level has well-defined roles,
- 86 -
Draft Report
functions, capabilities, facilities, organizational structure, and staffing standards. This
categorization allows a provision of a hierarchy of services utilizing appropriate resources
at each level. for the Philippines, the distribution of hospitals by category levels as of 1997
to 2003 is as follows:

beds which is greater than the
These levels are defined as:
Primary Care. This level, which is usually entry level for the patient, provides services of a
non-critical nature. Primary care can include routine outpatient care, preventive care,
diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation services, and patient education service.
Secondary Care. This level of care is intermediate in specialization. Secondary care usually
is provided in general community hospitals as standard inpatient care. Patients for this
level of care are referred by office-based, specialized physicians.
Tertiary Care. This level of care is the most specialized available to patients; it occurs in
regional medical centers and specialty hospitals. Tertiary care is expensive, requires highly
educated proficient practitioners, and uses complicated treatment procedures. (D.C. Adler
& N.J. Shoemaker, 1979).
The Department of Health gives a more specific classification:
The tertiary level is composed of specialty centers, specialized hospitals, medical centers,
regional hospitals, and provincial or general hospitals. Tertiary hospitals have capabilities
- 87 -
2003
Draft Report
and facilities for providing medical care to cases requiring sophisticated diagnostic and
therapeutic equipment and the expertise of trained specialists in the sub-specialties. Special
and specialty centers, in particular, are equipped with expensive and sophisticated
diagnostic and therapeutic facilities for a specific medical problem area. These are hospitals
fully departmentalized and equipped with the service capabilities needed to support
certified Medical Specialists and other licensed physicians rendering services in the field of
Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Surgery, their subspecialties and
ancillary services. These are large-scale hospitals with bed capacities ranging from 50 to
over 700 beds. Their medical equipment and facilities are usually the most advanced and
are constantly upgraded.
The secondary level consists of district hospitals with capabilities and facilities for medical
care to cases requiring hospitalization. It also has the expertise of trained specialists. These
hospitals are equipped with the service capabilities needed to support licensed physicians
rendering services in the fields of Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology,
General Surgery and other ancillary services. Unlike primary hospitals, secondary
hospitals have higher bed capacities, ranging from 10 to 69 beds. This accounts for
increased activity as an admitting medical center. Occupancy rates reveal higher
admissions, ranging from 30% to 60%.
The primary level is composed of municipal and Medicare hospitals which have facilities
and capabilities for first contact emergency care and hospitalization for simple cases.
These are hospitals equipped with the service capabilities needed to support licensed
physicians rendering services in Medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Minor Surgery. Bed
capacity of primary hospitals range from 6 to 25 beds. Because bed size is small and
facilities are limited, hospital operations are not centered on out-patient activities. Primary
hospitals operate more as out-patient clinics than as admitting medical centers.
The distribution of private hospitals by category level as of 1997 can be
characterized by the clustering of hospitals in areas with a relatively high income level such
as the National Capital Region, Regions 3 and 4. For instance, NCR has an average of 200
beds per tertiary hospital whereas Regions 3 and 4 have only about an average of 100 beds
per tertiary hospital. The larger, more financially viable tertiary hospitals in NCR have
about 300 to 600 beds.
Each hospital is divided into several departments. Although the number of these
departments vary according to the specialization of the hospital, eight departments can be
distinguished:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
cardiology department
respiratory therapy
laboratory
surgery

- 88 -
Draft Report
There are several procedures undertaken depending on the type of care needed by the
patient.
B.2
EMPLOYMENT, INVESTMENTS, FINANCING
On the average, there is a medical personnel (doctors, nurses, midwives, and
medical technicians) for every bed in a primary hospital. Doctors and nurses are employed
as general practitioners or professionals. The average number of doctors for secondary
hospitals is 14, mostly resident physicians. These hospitals experience difficulty in
attracting doctors, especially for rural-based ones. On the average, secondary hospitals
maintain 1.06 medical personnel for every authorized bed.
Tertiary hospitals have an average of 145 doctors. No difficulty is experienced in
attracting doctors because of the perceived prestige attached to tertiary hospitals. Many
tertiary hospital administrators believe that they have a greater responsibility to provide
quality health care. The average medical personnel-to-bed ratio maintained by tertiary
hospitals is 2.28. An interview with industry participants has revealed that tertiary hospitals
providing more specialized services need an initial capital requirement of about P 5.6
Million per hospital bed, with financial viability achieved upon reaching 500 beds. Breakeven point happens upon the tenth year of operation.
A study made by Socorro Zingapan (1995) reveals that ownership (i.e. private or
public) does not influence the propensity of facilities to incur capital expenditures in a
single year. Public and private hospitals differ as regards the type of hospital investment in
the long-run. For instance, public hospitals invest more in trying to have a bigger bed
capacity as compared to private facilities. Even if private hospitals are greater in number,
it is the public hospitals that provide more beds for patients. On the other hand, private
hospitals are shown to have a greater propensity to invest in relatively advanced medical
equipment, ie. CT Scan, linear accelerator for cancer patients, etc. Zingapan (1995) shows
that there are three significant determinants of a hospital’s decision to invest. They are:
•
•
•
capacity of existing beds of private facilities in the province;
the case mix of the hospital, specifically the ratio of patients who were attended to with
surgical procedure; and
the number of private financing schemes to which the hospital is affiliated.
On the other hand, the study also identified the determinants of the amount of
capital expenditure:
•
•
•
•
•
•
in-patient fee;
infant mortality rate in the province;
case mix;
mark-up from Medicare;
assets at the beginning of the year; and
ownership.
A hospital’s source of financing are rather limited. Operations are mostly financed
from in-patients paying out-of-pocket. Financing from insurance holders, ie. HMO and
private insurance card holders are rather limited, accounting for 6% of total financing.
- 89 -
Draft Report
However, the SSS and the GSIS, via compulsory social insurance finance 37% of private
hospital services. These may explain why delays in reimbursement of claims may cause a
drain on a hospital’s liquidity. (See Figure III.5).

Hospitals locate in areas where there is a clustering of establishments into the
manufacture, distribution and retail of food, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and medical
equipment. They also consider locating in areas with high average income, high average
expenditures on medical care, high population density. In other words, they generally
locate in more economically developed cities.
B.3
COST OF HOSPITAL SERVICES
Hospitals generally do not absorb costs.
Any increase in the price of
pharmaceuticals, medical supplies and use of equipment, are all burdened by the patient.
This behavior increases the importance of decreasing the burden on households for having
to pay for costly hospital services. Private insurance companies along with insurance-based
HMOs only help finance a small portion of hospital care. Employer-based sources of
financing also account for a minimal 3% of the financing of hospital services.
This behavior can be perceived in the linear and positive relationship between the
price index for private health care services, most of which are accounted for by the private
hospital industry, and, revenues of the private hospital industry, indicated by gross value
added. There is also a linear and positive relationship between the financing of private
hospital services and the price index. Thus, patients do not question the price charged to
them by the hospital, they take prices as given. If this is true, then hospitals can take
advantage of substantial discounts in the purchase of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.
Likewise, salaried general practitioners would be able to increase revenues for the hospital
if they are able to improve the number of patients treated per day as well as give referrals to
doctors for patients requiring more specialized care. This is under the assumption that
doctors give the necessary treatment as needed by patients.

Costs incurred by hospitals in health care may be indicated by spending or
utilization cost per hospital bed. The rest is accounted for by the hospital’s investment on
capital equipment and compensation. It can be observed that utilization costs account for
close to 50% of gross value added. These costs are passed on to the consumer. Hospital
operators claim that patients have a maximum of 5 days for inpatient care, break-even is
achieved when patients stay for one to two days.

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
C.
The basic elements affecting competition shall be discussed. Having a monopolistically
competitive to a loose oligopoly market environment, health care providers compete on the
basis of achieving market power in various geographic segments. Concentration of health
care providers in a certain geographic location greatly affects the level of demand for health
care services. This allows some health care providers such as hospitals to gain a sufficient
of market power by location.

With an industry that is composed of more than 1,500 establishments, the top 3
hospitals account for a considerable share, almost 10%, of the private health care industry’s
value added as can be seen in Figure III.8 and Figure III.9.

C.1
COMPETITION AND MARKET RIVALRY
The level of competition and regulation in the medical and health-related services
sector varies according to the type of organization of health care markets. While the
Philippines’ medical and health-related services sector is still prominently characterized by
the existence of independent physicians and out-of-pocket health care cost reimbursements,
there are certain areas in the country which are governed by a more progressive managed
care market environment with medical care provided by contracted physicians (i.e.
individual or team). These growth areas are still scarce. Most providers depend on a
system of financing which is based on a fee-for-service scheme. As a consequence,
investments in medical equipment are difficult to sustain as the mode of payment is based
on the capacity of the patient to pay. This prevalent mode of financing makes provides
absorb the entire risk of providing health care.
C.2
FIXED ASSET PURCHASES AS A DETERMINANT OF MARKET DOMINANCE
The high correlation between the industry’s book value of fixed assets and the top 3
hospital’s average value of fixed assets shows that most of the medical equipment
investments for more than a decade have been incurred by the top 3 hospitals.
FIGURE III.10
- 93 -
Draft Report
From Figure III.11, it can be observed that the top 3 hospitals had to incur a high
level of revenues in order to acquire the capital investments made from 1999 to 2000.
Such investments include the construction of new buildings and modernization of
equipment in preparation for accreditation.

COMPETITION ASSESSMENT
The market and provider concentration in the National Capital Region as seen in Chapter 2
can be explained by the market dominance of the top 3 hospitals. The profitability of the
top 3 private hospitals in NCR act as a good indicator of the private health care industry’s
growth. Inherent in their provision of health care services is the constant purchase of
medical equipment which accounts for the bulk of fixed asset purchases in the industry.

In the absence of satisfactory indicators acting as evidence in the influence of the
top 3 hospitals in the establishment of health care networks in the National Capital Region,
one can intuit that their profitability levels spur market demand among their environs. The
development, however, of key provider networks within their environs has not developed
as fact as their performance. Secondary and primary hospitals located within market reach
of these hospitals would also have to develop their facilities in order to maintain the quality
standards from which these hospitals have gained reputation for.
The presence of relatively high output and employment multipliers from the economic
activity of the private health care services along with the presence of locational efficiency
or agglomeration economies in areas with high concentration and location linkages
manifests that health care services network efficiencies can be best achieved through the
concentration of health care resources in key areas.
Among such key areas would be the currently developing private health care
services network present in the National Capital Region due to the presence of high
regional linkages within the area. Another area in development for private health care
services networks would be in Region 4.

Annex 5. FINANCING HEALTH CARE IN THE PHILIPPINES
What follows is a description of the activities undertaken by establishments involved in
the financing of health care.
The public sector health financing includes the following.1
1. Tax revenues supporting health care. There are three types of tax revenues,
namely income taxes, duties on imports and exports, and taxes on domestic
business transactions. The public sector health financing mostly comes from tax
revenues, which are the major source of government health care expenditures.2
2. Domestic and international borrowings that supplement tax revenues, which give
support to health care. This is often known as “deficit financing” since this makes
use of funds that will be repaid in the future.
3. Sales tax. This comprises taxes that are imposed on various items like cigarette,
liquor or other luxury goods. It is a significant source of the local government’s
funds for health care.
4. Taxes on betting and lotteries. These taxes contribute to the funds allocated for
health care. The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation and the
Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office contribute part of their income for health
projects.
5. Social health insurance. The Medicare program is the government’s social health
insurance program. Employers and employees pay the premiums through a
mandatory payroll tax. The benefits are received by the beneficiaries through
remitting claims directly from the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS)
or the Social Security System (SSS). However, claims are now remitted to the
Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), a “tax-exempt government
corporation, attached to the Department of Health that had been mandated by law
since July 25, 1994 to administer the Philippine government’s National Health
Insurance Program” by accrediting private corporations that are able to offer
health services, or by directly providing health care services.3 This compulsory
social health insurance aspires to provide “universal health insurance coverage
and ensure affordable, acceptable, available and accessible health care services for
all citizens of the Philippines.”4

6. Other government sources include operating income, foreign grants and loans,
and local government revenues.5
On the other hand, private health financiers are composed of the following6:
1. Out-of-pocket payment. This comprises the direct household expenditures
of individuals for the services delivered by medical practitioners. It
consists of the fees-for-service that are paid by consumers for the health
care service they receive. This is also the greatest source of health
financing in the Philippines.7
2. Health maintenance organizations (HMOs). These are prepaid, managed
health care schemes that are established mainly for profit.8 These also
provide both delivery and financing of health care services. As a financier,
HMOs cover various medical costs of dependents or members.9
3. Private health insurance. This often operates either for individuals or
groups, and for profit or non-profit, where regular premiums are collected
from members or employees. This health care insurance is usually sold as
an add-on to life or non-life insurance. This also includes indemnity health
insurance, which provides health and accident insurances.10
4. Charitable contributions. This comprises cash or in-kind donations given
by philanthropic individuals, groups, or institutions (ex. UNICEF) or other
grant-providing organizations.
5. Direct employer financing or employer-based plans. These are the medical
benefits granted to employees of some private businesses, where
employers either establish in-house health facilities and hire medical
professionals or negotiate with private health practitioners and
organizations to provide health care to their employees.
6. Communal self- help or community-based health care services. These are
community efforts of rendering low-cost health services. Some of these
efforts are of-shoots of microfinance institutions, i.e. microfinance
institutions focused on health care some of which are called
microinsurance establishments.
