In the Philippine Health Facility Development Plan 2020-2040 published by the Department of Health , it has acknowledged that Filipinos are getting healthier through the years but admitted that there are still challenges; one of them is the lack of specialized care centers, especially in the provinces.

Romualdez, one of the principal authors, said the establishment of these facilities “would make specialized health care accessible to our people in the provinces, especially the poor.”
