B. Current Policies and Programs The provincial officials have prioritized health services as evidenced by the many health related programs and projects being implemented provincewide. Currently, the Provincial Government is implementing the Provincewide Investment Plan for Health (PIPH) with a grant from the European Commission (EC) to finance the much needed Health Reform Program. The LGUs are also aggressively advocating for the enrollment of indigents to the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth). Under the PIPH, priority programs are the upgrading of health facilities into a Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEMONC) and Basic Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEMONC) facilities. Municipal Health Officers (MHOs) are also advocating for facility-based birthing to avoid unnecessary birth complications that could reduce, if not eliminate, neonatal deaths. C. Challenges The provincial government operates 8 hospitals in the province. Because the province is dependent on the IRA, there is a budgetary constraint particularly in the provision of medicines and health personnel. The province has to divide its meager resources in the operation of the 8 hospitals. At the LGU level, the rural health units are having difficulty in providing basic health care because of inadequate health facilities.

60 Province of Romblon Cajidiocan Barangay Health Station (BHS) Full Fix Project The project seeks to revitalize and refurbish all BHSs into full functional facilities which are able to provide complete basic health services to the community as well as birthing facilities in identified barangays. Key elements of the project are as follows: 1. Establishment of functional BHS that meets the health needs of community members; 2. Better health outcomes, specially improved maternal and child health indices; 3. Health-empowered, educated and selfreliant community; 4. Institution of better, efficient, organized health and referral system within communities. The project brings into light the importance and usefulness of integrating a primary health care approach, bringing healthcare as close as possible to the people and ensuring availability, accessibility and affordability of promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative services. Health workers and barangays leaders are now empowered as they are trained and are mainly involved in this endeavor. It promotes maximum community and individual self reliance and participation in the planning, organization, operation and control of health programs in the barangay. Ultimately, it will contribute to the attainment of MDG targets of reducing child mortality and improving maternal health. Status Report on the Millennium Development Goals Using CBMS Data
