Sixth Edition Blog Rounds: Philippine Healthcare, why is it far from the ideal?

Philippine Healthcare: Why is it Far From Ideal?

This 6th edition Blog Rounds’ theme attempts to put forward an analysis of a problematic( is it?)healthcare system that has long been tackled, but never successfully addressed. One of the biggest stakeholders in “the solution” to such problem, the doctors may offer some valuable insights in the final analysis of the root cause for such dying health scenario- here in our land!

Join the sixth edition of TBR and be part of the lively discussions surrounding this issue! Doc Che will be hosting the sixth edition of TBR in her blog Merry Cherry. Her call for articles is already posted here. Please submit your entries to Doc Che before 5:00 PM April 21, 2008.

For those unaware yet, The Blog Rounds is a weekly compilation of the best in Philippine’s medical blogosphere, written by physician bloggers (or the medically inclined bloggers) and hosted on a participating blogger’s weblog. Archives and edition schedules ( plus the host blogger) are listed here. The next edition of TBR will be up this Tuesday, April 22, 2008 7am PST.

Physicians and medically inclined bloggers interested in joining this blog carnival, please contact me through my email kokegulper[at]yahoo[dot]com or any of the participating TBR bloggers. Guidelines and updates are posted here in my website, The Orthopedic Logbook.
