The Philippines is taking big steps towards a more self-reliant healthcare system, with the Board of Investments (BOI) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID), together with other national government agencies and the private sector, joining forces through Promoting the Quality of Medicines Plus (PQM+) program. The program is covered by the six-year (2019–2025) USAID-funded cooperative agreement to sustainably strengthen medical product quality assurance (QA) systems in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).
