Description
Summary:This report is a subnational assessment of the health financing and delivery system of an autonomous region in the Philippines. This region, now known as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), is in a period of transition, having recently shifted to a new political organization and relationship with the Philippines national government (NG) as the result of the ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) in early 2019. This assessment was initiated prior to the formation of BARMM, when the region was known as the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). This was fortuitous timing, as the evidence and analysis of the health financing system under ARMM and the corresponding policy recommendations for improvement can be made available to BARMM leadership when the region is already in a natural period of transition and planning.
