CEDAW/C/PHL/7-8 mothers and children, with the ultimate goal of reducing maternal and neonatal mortality. Community Health Teams led by a nurse or a midwife are organized to provide the appropriate MNCHN and vigorously campaign for proper birth spacing, complete required antenatal care visits, facility based deliveries, provide postpartum and postnatal care, and ensure smooth transitions to other health care packages for women and children. The integrated MNCHN services consist of clinical and public health interventions for women and children that are delivered through a life cycle approach. 134. Among the DOH programs are the National Safe Motherhood Program, National Family Planning Program, and Adolescent and Youth Health Program. The National Safe Motherhood Program is focused on making pregnancy and childbirth safer and in changing fundamental societal dynamics that influence decision making on matters related to pregnancy and childbirth while it brings quality emergency obstetrics and newborn care to the 252 tertiary and secondary level facilities and 1,824 primary level facilities that are nearest to homes. This move ensures that those most in need of quality health care have easy access to such care. The Program has achieved 65% of its targets on antenatal care, facility based delivery and post-natal care as of December 2012. The shortfall in reaching 100% achievement of the targets was attributed to procurement and other factors related to LGU structures and priorities. 135. Basic and Comprehensive Emergency Maternal Obstetric and Newborn Care (BEmONC and CEmONC) trainings are provided to doctors and midwiv es in health facilities designated to provide emergency obstetrics and newborn c are. 136. Abortion is not allowed under Philippine laws. Nevertheless the RPRH law mandates a range of reproductive health services addressing prevention and management of post abortion complications which may benefit those women who have unsafe abortions and who seek medical treatment because of complications. The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the RPRH specifies that “while these Rules recognize abortion is illegal and punishable by law, the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post abortive complications and all other complications arising from pregnancy, labour and delivery and related issues shall be treated and counselled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner in accordance with law medical ethics.” 137. The State Party’s health thrust is Universal Health Care (UHC) or the Kalusugan Pangkalahatan (KP) which seeks to ensure equitable access to affordable and quality health care by all especially the poor. It seeks to reduce financial burden through universal social health insurance coverage of the poor, health facility enhancement to ensure better access to hospitals and primary level facilities providing high quality services, and attainment of the health-related MDGs. Government targets 100% subsidized enrolment of poor families to the PhilHealth Sponsored Program. 138. The State Party, through PhilHealth, also introduced the Partial Subsidy Scheme for the poor in 2011, which allows the sharing of annual contribution between the local government units, simplified the process of especially for those from far-flung and rural areas, expanded medical benefits, and made women the priority in enrolment. The primary bearer of the PhilHealth card of the family is now the woman. 15-03079 31/36
