The Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) Healthcare Sector, in collaboration with industry leaders and the government, is driving key healthcare reforms aimed at expanding healthcare facilities and pharmacies, improving access to medicines, and strengthening PhilHealth's support value to curb out-of-pocket healthcare spending.

At the 8th PSAC Healthcare Sector Meeting held at Malacañan Palace on March 6, 2025, discussions focused on policy reforms and strategic initiatives to strengthen healthcare accessibility and resilience. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. lauded PSAC’s proposals, highlighting the private sector’s vital role in driving healthcare reforms for the benefit of Filipinos.

PSAC has proposed updates to hospital licensing and physical facility standards to accelerate the establishment of new hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The council recommends a shift to outcome-based regulations, which would streamline hospital renewal processes and promote network-based healthcare models for better resource distribution. This reform is crucial, as the country faces a hospital bed deficit amid increasing demand.
