Neurological services and resources are scarce in low-income and developing countries, such as the Philippines. We looked into the treatment gaps in Parkinson's disease (PD) care in the Philippines in the following areas: epidemiology, healthcare, financial coverage, pharmacotherapy, surgical treatment and manpower. We collected relevant data on the above-mentioned areas. There is no available Philippine data on PD prevalence. Philippine healthcare is paid through user fees at the point of service. The average consultation fee in Manila ranges from US$10.57-31.74. The average minimum daily wage is US$9.39-10.17. Philippine healthcare is devolved to the local government units. Deep brain stimulation surgery is only available in Manila. Most PD medications are available in the Philippines. There are only nine movement disorder specialists for a population of 100.98 million. Gaps and challenges in PD care in the Philippines still exist.
在菲律宾等低收入和发展中国家，神经科服务和资源稀缺。我们研究了菲律宾帕金森病（PD）护理在以下方面的治疗差距：流行病学、医疗保健、财务覆盖范围、药物治疗、手术治疗和人力。我们收集了上述领域的相关数据。菲律宾没有关于PD患病率的可用数据。菲律宾的医疗保健通过服务点的用户费用支付。马尼拉的平均咨询费在10.57美元至31.74美元之间。平均每日最低工资为9.39美元至10.17美元。菲律宾的医疗保健权力下放给地方政府单位。深部脑刺激手术仅在马尼拉提供。菲律宾有大多数PD药物。每1.0098亿人口中只有9名运动障碍专家。菲律宾在PD护理方面仍然存在差距和挑战。
