The Barangay Health Center is a community-based and patient-directed organization.

Its goal is to provide first aid, maternal and child health care, diagnosis of social
diseases, and other basic health services to all the members of the community it is
serving.
Ideally, there should be one Barangay Health Center per barangay or district. However,
some far flung areas may have difficult access to a nearby Barangay Health Center.
Some districts may share a Barangay Health Center due to: (1) close proximity to one
another and (2) lack of manpower.
It is usually the first point of contact between residents of the community and other
health care facility levels. Barangay Health Center services are regulated by the (DOH).
Projects may be spearheaded by each center under the supervision of the local
government and the municipal health officer. Every health center is equipped to provide
primary level of health care. A Barangay Health Center is commonly staffed of doctors,
public health nurses, nutritionists, medical technicians, rural health midwives, barangay
health workers, dentists, etc.
Barangay Health Centers follow a schedule of medical services from Monday to Friday.
Below is an example of a Barangay Health Centers schedule (schedules may vary per
health center):

Monday Morbid (sick community members)

Tuesday Prenatal, postnatal and other pregnancy related cases

Wednesday Immunization

Thursday Morbid (sick community members)

Friday Senior citizens

The health centers dentist also has its own schedule. Normal schedule is from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. Sometimes health centers schedule special medical projects or missions and
conduct health education classes during weekends especially when the DOH issues
health warnings and epidemic cases. The out-patient services normally include first aid
treatment, internal medicine, pediatric, obstetrics, gynaecological treatment and
diagnosis of social diseases.

Fundamentals of Barangay Health Center

There should be one Barangay Health Center per district.

It should cater to health center patients who represent the population served.

It should be able to provide primary health care services.

Most medicines are given for free. There is a drug subsidy for expensive
medicines.

Services rendered should be free for the members of the community.

Who Barangay Health Centers serve

Barangay residents of all ages.

Barangay residents of all races and ethnicities.

Barangay residents with or without health insurance.

Primary Health Care (PHC)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the goal of Primary Health Care is
beneficial for all. It aims to reduce health exclusion and social disparities. It helps in
organizing health services according to peoples needs and expectations. It also works
on integrating health into all sectors.
Primary health care gives high importance to education, nutrition, preventive medicine
and treatment of the most common diseases and injuries. It is considered as a practical
means of giving any form of health care for increasing populations in poor economies

such as in Third World countries. The Philippines is among the first countries to adopt
the idea of PHC and integrate it in most local communities. There is a strong campaign
on local barangay initiatives in all parts of the country and a call for greater community
participation.
