BACKGROUND
Oral health is a key factor for overall health and quality of life. The burden of oral diseases is disproportionally high in vulnerable groups such as the poor and marginalized population. Additionally, the economic burden of dental treatment affects the low-income population. The 74th World Health Assembly adopted an oral health resolution that emphasized the importance of strengthening the provision of oral health care services. Oral health care services should be part of the universal healthcare package.
The burden of oral diseases is high in the Philippines. The global burden of disease study in 2019 estimated that 44 million people (40% of the population) are affected by the oral disorder. More specifically, 29 million people (27% of the population) have untreated dental caries. Outpatients' dental health services are not covered by the PhilHealth benefit package. There is a need to include key oral health interventions such as basic prevention and treatment to be included in the PhilHealth benefit package to be delivered at the primary health care settings.
PURPOSE/SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE OF THE ACTIVITY
This TSA is to identify the oral health interventions, analyse the cost-effectiveness for oral health care services to be delivered at the different levels of health care within a comprehensive PhilHealth benefit package.
