Philippine Mort
Building a brighter future for Philippine Mort
By: Concerned Pinoy Citizen
The high rates of mortality in the Philippines is a growing concern. Each year, thousands of Filipinos die from preventable causes. The Philippine government is taking steps to address this issue, but more needs to be done. Concerned Pinoy Citizen has compiled data from the World Health Organization and the Philippine Statistics Authority to paint a clearer picture of Philippine Mort.
In 2019, the Philippines had a mortality rate of 6.2 per 1,000 people. This is higher than the global average of 5.6 per 1,000 people. One of the leading causes of death in the Philippines is heart disease. In 2019, heart disease was responsible for 22% of all deaths in the Philippines.
Another major cause of death in the Philippines is stroke. In 2019, stroke was responsible for 15% of all deaths in the Philippines. The third leading cause of death in the Philippines is cancer. In 2019, cancer was responsible for 11% of all deaths in the Philippines.
What is the Philippine government doing to address high mortality rates?
The Philippine government is taking steps to address the high mortality rates in the country. In 2018, the government launched the Universal Health Care Act. This act provides subsidized health insurance to all Filipinos. The government is also investing in new hospitals and clinics. Additionally, the government is working to improve access to clean water and sanitation. These measures are expected to help reduce mortality rates in the Philippines.
Concerned Pinoy Citizen believes that more needs to be done to address high mortality rates in the Philippines. The government should increase funding for primary healthcare. The government should also implement stricter regulations on tobacco and alcohol use. Additionally, the government should work to improve the living conditions of Filipinos. These measures would help to create a healthier and more prosperous Philippines.
