Philippine Play Coalition. Led by the Unilab Foundation, the Philippine Play Coalition was established to solidify its policy advocacy of championing play as a right of every child. Ultimately, this advocacy aims to build an extensive coalition and network of organizations to institutionalize the National Play Advocacy Week in the Philippines. More specifically, the National Play Advocacy Week is a week-long celebration of children’s right to play, during the National Children’s Month.

Shaping Policy Reforms on Universal Health Care through research and dialogue

At the Unilab Center for Health Policy, we believe that meaningful health policy reforms must be grounded in both expertise and real-world experience. 

 
We collaborate with leading academic institutions to generate evidence that informs the implementation of the Universal Health Care Law. At the same time, we work closely with local government units to pilot policy recommendations, translating research into practical frameworks that deliver real impact for the Filipino people. 

We aim to:

  • Become the top-of-mind platform for health policy dialogues and discussions;  and  

  • Develop and demonstrate pilot health projects that have the potential for impact and scale.

We collaborate on critical policy research that shapes the national health agenda. 

At the heart of our work is a firm belief that up-to-date data is the foundation of meaningful and lasting health policy reforms.

We pilot health policy through local demonstration with partner LGUs.  

Through strategic partnerships with local governments, we pilot initiatives that strengthen primary health care at the grassroots, anchored on the principles of local autonomy.
