Dear Members, 
 
Following the Council’s successful engagements during the Philippines Business Mission last August and in support of the Marcos Administration’s priorities to advance Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and digital transformation in healthcare systems, the Council is pleased to announce and invite you to the USABC Health Dialogues: Innovations for Health, taking place on November 14 to 16 in Metro Manila, Philippines.
 
This event is a series of high-level bilateral meetings that aims to facilitate an in-depth dialogue between US companies and key government agencies in the Philippines on the following priority healthcare sector issues:
 
1.     Supporting digitalization efforts to improve health service delivery and data protection; 
2.     Capacity building for improved health technologies assessment;
3.     Exploring opportunities for improved healthcare financing; and
4.     Strengthening the primary care network for better prevention and access. 
 
In this format, the Council seeks to provide its member companies with a direct and intimate engagement with the following government agencies:
 
1.     Department of Health
2.     Department of Science and Technology
3.     Senate Committee on Health Demography
4.     House Committee on Health
5.     Philippine Health Insurance Corporation
6.     Food and Drug Administration
 
This approach will enable participants to identify opportunities, challenges, and necessary steps to promote an inclusive and sustainable universal healthcare system in the Philippines.
