Question

What are ten leading causes of morbidity in the Philippines?

Answer 1

Just a few to start with :

-lack of education

-lack of hygiene

-lack of interest by the local authorities

-lack of proper affordable medical care and medical facilities

-corruption : money goes to other pockets e.g. private pockets or is diverted to other ministries.

-maybe a lack of interest on the part of certain doctors towards their poorer patients?

-the best of the "medical care professional basket" are probably working abroad in a better paid, better equipped and better valued job.

Hope this helps already.

another reason :

Lack of family planning>>>having too many children in a short span of time is not the best thing to keep a woman's health up to par.

Edit : Sorry, I didn't mention poverty because this seems so obvious in regard with all the listed "lack in's"stated above.

All the existing problems listed here-above derive & arise, of course, from poverty & ignorance because the govenment don't do anything about these and...this situation has been going on since de XVI Century...starting with the arrival of the Spaniards. Sorry to point out the obvious : They (the government) have had their time to get their horses straight but they are more interested in improving their personal interests.
