Message from the Health Secretary The Department of Health, together with partners, is pleased to present the 2019 Annual Report on the Implementation of the Republic Act No. 10354 or the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (RPRH Law). This Report is prepared in compliance with the reporting requirements mandated under Section 21 of the RPRH Law and Rule 15 of its Implementing Rules and Regulations. It details the gains, challenges, and recommendations for each of the five key result areas (KRA) of the RPRH Law, namely: 1) Maternal, Neonatal, Child Health and Nutrition; 2) Family Planning; 3) Adolescent Sexuality and Reproductive Healht; 4) SexuallyTransmitted Infections and HIV/AIDS; and 5) Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children. The fulfillment of the targets set in the Key Result Areas is well-aligned with the goals of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act. Hence, our collective work help ensure that all Filipino women, men, and young people live in an environment where everyone enjoy universal access to comprehensive and rights-based reproductive health care. There are many challenges to overcome, but we are definitely learning and growing as we go. As we push on with our work, may each one of us gain renewed focus and inspiration from this Report. 5 2019 Annual Report Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012
