SITUATION
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

 Demographic profile

- Philippine is one of the populous countries

in the world in 2000.

- 75.3 million (NCSB, 2001)

- projected to increase to 82,636,689 in

2004 (Natioanl Health Objectives, 1999)
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

- 1999, average life expectancy at birth

was 68.6 years
* 71.28 for females
* 66.03 for males
- 249 people for every square kilometer
of Philippine territory.
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

- Metro manila has the highest population

density (16,051)
- CAR has the lowest (75) (National Health
Objectives).
- from the 37% of the total population in 1984
(unicef, 1986) the figure increased to 44%
ten years later.
- annual population growth rate for the whole
country is 2.3%; urban areas is 3.4 per
year.
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

- High population density

transmission of infectious and
communicable diseases.
- Greater need for social services such as:

decent housing education

transportation health
services
communication
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

- High level of stress in congested

areas leads to:
disintegration of moral values and
social institutions and contributes to
the incidence of a number of health
problems, including mental health
problems.
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

 Health profile
Birth and deaths
Crude Birth Rate (CBR) in 1997 was 28.4 per
1000 population
Crude Death Rate (CDR) 6.1 per 1000
population.
The rate of natural increase in the country’s
population for the same year was 22.3 (28.4
minus 6.1) for every 1000 population
THE NATIONAL HELATH SITUATION

- Rural women have more children than

urban women.
- Uneducated women also have more
children than those who are with
college education.
- Those in the 25-29 age group have the
highest fertility rate (national
demographic and health survey, 1999)
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

- In 1995, infant mortality rate (IMR) was 48.9 per

1000 live births, which is within the WHO global
goal for IMR of less than 50/1000 live births.

- Under-five mortality rate or deaths of children

below five years old in the same year was 67/1000
live births.
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUAION

- Maternal mortality rate (MMR) was

1.8/1000 live births (DOH), 1995) or 18
maternal deaths for every 10,000 live
births.

- Death rate among males is higher than

females – referred as the “feminization”
of old age.
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

Causes of morbidity and mortality

 Mortality (2000)
1. Diseases of the Heart
2. Diseases of the Vascular System
3. Malignant Neoplasm
4. Pneumonia
5. Accidents
THE NATIONAL HEALTH SITUATION

6. Tuberculosis, all forms

7. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease and Allied Conditions
8. Certain conditions originating in the
Perinatal period
9. Diabetes Mellitus
10. Nephritis, Nephrotic Syndrome and
Nephrosis
INFANT MORTALITY RATE
 Infant mortality rate (IMR) is the
number of newborns dying under a
year of age divided by the number of
live births during the year times
1000. The infant mortality rate is also
called the infant death rate. It is the
number of deaths that occur in the
first year of life for 1000 live births.
INFANT MORTALITY RATE

- Infant mortality rate is one of the

most sensitive indicators of health
status of a country or community.
Results from:
1. poor maternal conditions
2. unhealthy environment
3. inadequate health care delivery
system
Ten (10) Leading Causes Number & Rate/1000 Livebirths & Percentage Distribution
Philippines, 2005 were:
 Child Mortality rate

 The child mortality rate (CMR) per 1,000 live

births is also declining in the country.
 CMR was estimated at 19 deaths per 1,000
live births between 1988 and 1992 and went
down to 12 per 1,000 live births between
1993 and 1997 and remained at that level
between 1999 and 2003. Regional data also
show a wide variation among the different
regions in the country.
 Child mortality rate is lowest
in Central Luzon and
CALABARZON at six per 1,000
live births, followed by
Cagayan Valley and NCR at
eight per 1,000 live births. It
is highest in ARMM at 33 per
1,000 live births, followed by
MIMAROPA at 25 per 1,000
live births (NDHS 2003). The
most common causes of child
deaths are pneumonia at 37.8
deaths per 100,000
population, accidents at 17.6
per 100,000 population, and
diarrheas at 16.1 per 100,000
population (PHS 2000).

INFANT MORBIDITY
 Infant illness or infant sickness is
often called "infant morbidity." Infant
morbidity refers to the babies that
are born with health problems and
live.
