Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities and Health Offices in LGUs
 I. Introduction

Pursuant to the Republic Act (RA) No. 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991 1,
through the Executive Order (EO) No. 138 series of 20212, all departments, agencies,
and instrumentalities of the Executive Branch, including the Department of Health
(DOH), are mandated to implement full devolution of certain functions to Local
Governments. This aims to (i) develop capabilities of local governments to deliver basic
social services and critical facilities to their constituents, increase productivity and
employment, and promote local economic growth; and (ii) ensure accountability,
competence, professionalism and transparency of local leaders through the
development of institutional systems that uphold good governance and strengthen their
capabilities for managing public resources.

In compliance with these, the DOH developed a Devolution Transition Plan (DTP)
wherein identified programs, projects, and activities (PPAs) will be devolved to the
Local Government Units (LGUs) following a certain timeline. The LGUs shall then be
responsible in ensuring availability of funds and resources for the sustainability of the
devolved PPAs. This includes provision of adequate health infrastructure along with
appropriate staffing complement.

The DTP is anchored on the existing mandates of LGUs provided under the Local
Government Code of 1991. Specifically, it states under Section 18 that LGUs shall have
the power and authority to establish an organization that shall be responsible for the
efficient and effective implementation of their development plans, program objectives
and priorities. Further, Section 77 of the same law provides that the chief executive of
every local government unit shall be responsible for human resources and development
in his unit and shall take all personnel actions in accordance with the Constitutional
provisions on civil service, pertinent laws, and rules and regulations thereon, including
such policies, guidelines and standards as the Civil Service Commission may establish.
Thus, the implementation of all staffing actions necessary to fulfill LGU mandates and
to perform functions devolved to them is within their power and authority.

Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities and Health Offices in LGUs
 This document intends to provide DOH’s guidance to LGUs on the minimum
recommended staffing complement for LGU health facilities and health offices.
This can be used as reference as LGUs implement incremental creation of permanent
positions as provided in the RA No. 11223 or the Universal Health Care Act. The LGUs
are highly encouraged to adopt these minimum recommendations to support the
integration of local health systems into Province-wide and City-wide Health Systems
aligned with the UHC Act.

II. Considerations in Developing the Recommended Organizational Structure and

Staffing Complement for Health Facilities in LGUs

The Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities

and Health Offices in Local Government Units (Annex C2 of the DOH DTP) is a
collaborative effort of the DOH Technical Working Group (TWG) in DTP. Main
contributors in this document are the Bureau of Local Health Systems Development
(BLHSD), the Health Facilities Development Bureau (HFDB), and the Health Human
Resource Development Bureau (HHRDB).

Led by the BLHSD, the recommended organizational structures of LGU health

facilities were developed through Administrative Order (AO) No. 2021-0021
“Guidelines on Integration of the Local Health Systems into Province-wide and City-
wide Health Systems (P/CWHS)”3. In these organizational structures,
components/units were given specific functions to facilitate the integration of local
health systems into Province-wide and City-wide Health Systems. The HFDB then
presided over the analysis of these functions to develop health facility standards and
core functions and services indicated in the Department Circular No. 2020-0176
“Circulation of the Manual of Standards for Primary Care Facilities”4.

Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities and Health Offices in LGUs
 Using the health facility standards and core functions and services, bureaus and offices
in the DOH Central Offices were requested to propose their recommended standard for
staffing complement in LGU health facilities in accordance with the functions and
services they plan to devolve. Submitted proposals were consolidated and analyzed by
the HHRDB to come up with the minimum recommendations for staffing
complement of public health facilities and health offices in LGUs, as indicated in
this document.

Other considerations include:

1. HHRDB shall provide observations and/or comments for HRH-related
positions, in particular.

2. Technical offices/ experts shall provide comments on their respective areas of

expertise.
3. Recommend to seek guidance from the Personnel Administration Division of
the Administrative Services (AS-PAD), especially for non-health positions.
4. Evaluation of staffing proposals shall be guided by the DBM-CSC Government
Rationalization Program Organization and Staffing Standards and Guidelines,
to wit:
a. Identification of functions (core and non-core) that could be effectively
outsourced/contracted out; provided that accountability mechanisms are
in place.
b. Use of the following guides in the Staffing of an Organization:
i. Reduce functions/programs into activities/tasks to identify
staffing requirements.
ii. Determine skills/competencies required to perform the
functions/activities/tasks.
iii. Match activities/tasks with positions in the Index of
Occupational Services, Occupational Groups, Classes, and
Salary Grades (IOS) 5 for the National Government to
determine the appropriate position title.

 iv. Apart from the unit head, allow a higher level of position of the
same type or senior level positions and provide at least one
entrance level position.
v. Observe an optimal ratio between technical and administrative
positions. Limit the provision of assistants, as much as
possible.
c. Alignment with the IOS for the National Government in all staffing
modifications involving reclassification, conversion, and creation of
positions.
d. Recommended Organizational Structure and Core Functions and
Services of each unit preference should be given to generic over
specialist positions, for flexibility.
e. Determine the number of positions required based on workload.

26
Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities and Health Offices in LGUs
 B. Health Facility Staffing Standards

The minimum recommendations for staffing complement of LGU health facilities were
developed based on standards and core functions and services of health facilities as
indicated in the Department Circular No. 2020-0176 “Circulation of the Manual of
Standards for Primary Care Facilities”.

In the Manual of Standards for Primary Care Facilities, staffing standards for primary
care health facilities is based on the following health worker to population ratio, as
reflected in the National Objectives for Health (NOH) 2017-2022 pending the results
of the Workload Indicators of Staffing Needs (WISN) study:

One (1) Urban Health Center/Rural Health Unit physician per 20,000 population
One (1) public health nurse per 10,000 population
One (1) public health midwife per 5,000 population
One (1) public health dentist per 50,000 population
One (1) sanitation inspector per 20,000 population

The enumerated ratios shall be implemented and monitored at urban health centers or
rural health units. These primary care facilities shall be led by a City or Municipal
Health Officer (C/MHO) who is responsible for formulating and implementing the
health programs in the whole city or municipality. The C/MHO also supervises,
coordinates, and monitors the operations of the UHC/RHU. Under the C/MHO is the
Rural Health Physician who takes charge of a small medical team assigned in the RHU
and renders preventive and medical services in at least one (1) barangay.

As the lead in the Primary Care Provider Network (PCPN), urban health centers or rural
health units are expected to provide primary health care services to LGUs through its
functional units – the Health Service Delivery Unit (HSDU) and the Health System
Support Unit (HSSU). The HSDU is responsible for providing population and
individual-based health services and for coordinating/ navigating referrals to other
service providers within the Health Care Provider Network (HCPN). On the other hand,
HSSU is responsible for rendering administrative services such as management of

27
Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public Health Facilities and Health Offices in LGUs

IV. Phases of Implementation

The adoption of the Minimum Recommendations for Staffing Complement of Public

Health Facilities and Health Offices in Local Government Units (Annex C2 of the DOH
DTP) is recommended to be implemented in phases considering the incremental
creation of permanent positions as provided in the RA No. 11223 or the Universal
Health Care Act. This shall allow LGUs and other National Government Agencies
(NGA) involved the flexibility in planning for the gradual preparation of budget and
resource requirements.

The recommended phases may be guided by “rubrics method” whereas each position
is rated according to proposed prioritization of the Department (Table 4). The rates per
position per health system integration type shall then be ranked to identify priorities for
the 5-year implementation phases. The assessment has to be undertaken by the PCWHS
in coordination with their component LGUs, since the needs of each local health system
may vary depending on their actual capacity and needs. The rubrics could serve as an
objective basis for prioritization of local health systems and final decision for
implementation shall be based on the autonomy and authority of the concerned LGUs
as provided under LGC of 1991 49. Sample rubrics assessments are provided in Annex
A for guidance of LGUs.
