ealth Secretary Enrique Onaho delivered the speech of

resident Benigno Aquino III.

n his speech, the President

eiterated the critical roles of

cal governments in

ustaining the health

rograms initiated by the

ational government. Let me

ppeal to our friends in the

GUs: facilities established

hrough the national coffers

eed to be sustainable. We

eed more equipment; we

eed more medicines; we

eed more trained,

ompassionate, committed

eople to man our hospitals.

e also said that private

ector participation is very

mportant to give the

ecessary boost to fast-track

health improvements. We

need the private sector to

bring us over the threshold, to

shorten the final mile that

women have to walk or travel

to get to the nearest health

facility and skilled birth

attendant when they need it.

Another speaker, United

Nations Population Fund

(UNFPA) Country

Representative Ugochi

Daniels stated that No

Woman should die giving life.

And no child should be robbed

of his life because of his

mothers death.

The summit also featured a

gallery where participants

were able to see the latest

health statistics of 20 priorityprovinces with serious

maternal health challenges.

Also displayed were various

public-private partnership

models available to address

the different existing health

issues.

More than the discussions, the

summit was intended to get

firm commitments of support

for health from individuals and

groups. Apart from that given

by the governors, other

organizations also signified

their intention to do their share

in improving maternal health

in the country.
