A Multifaceted Approach to Health Crisis in the Philippines; Comment on “Experiences and Implications of the First Wave of the COVID-19 Emergency in Italy: A Social Science Perspective”
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the landscape of every country’s healthcare system. May it be a developed nation like Italy or a developing one, like Philippines, it has seriously impacted the different aspects of people’s everyday living. While the epidemiological/pharmacological interventions is the top priority to battle the health crisis, considering the social science perspective in crafting any health policy is a must to develop holistic, relevant, and effective programs for policy-makers. This is not to underestimate the effectiveness of the former but it simply signifies the essential support of the latter for a higher success rate since it is a multifaceted approach. It is important to note that a human is not only composed of physicality, but all the other aspects that are connected to one another, including social, political, and spiritual ones.
