Mission 

The overall goal is to open, initiate, provide and facilitate ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE in its broadest meaning, utilizing science-based information and technology for efficient and effective delivery, from health promotion, clinical services, delivery of prescription medicines, Medicare insurance reimbursements, health education, housing, recreation and retirement facilities, clean water and environmental protection, to the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of environment and ecology-friendly health products, supplies or equipment for general health maintenance in homes, schools, offices and other public and private arenas.

The past Philippine Government administration has set up the 2016-2022 Philippine Health Agenda (http://www.doh.gov.ph/philippine_health_agenda) founded on Values of Equity, Efficiency, Quality and Transparency.The PHA guarantees financial freedom when accessing Universal Health Insurance; Service Delivery Network of fully functional health facilities, and Healthcare for all Life Stages & Triple Burden of Disease (communicable, non-communicable diseases & malnutrition, diseases of rapid urbanization & industrialization).

Vision

Access Healthcare Asia

As we morph its vision-mission, we need to fill in the gaps and challenges in health management information, access to health, products and services, leadership training and support, and various structural changes in the healthcare situation of the Philippine and ASEAN regions.

The Philippine Health Agenda (PHA) strategy with the acronym “ACHIEVE” shows an informative and purposive map into how Access Healthcare Asia, could design and formulate its programs, services, and products to address the unmet and/or ever-growing needs of the Rising Tiger of Asia.  As outlined “ACHIEVE” provides a solid blueprint and stable public ground for companies like Access Healthcare Asia to truly deliver health care that people deserve and to rise along the tide of urbanization and industrialization in the Philippines and ASEAN regions.
