AO 2021-0037 alignment is pursuant to which act?

• A. RA 11223
• B. RA 7160
• C. RA 8423
• D. RA 10963

Answer: (A)

This item hinges on which law provides the nationwide framework for aligning health policy and regulatory issuances with the country’s universal health care reforms. The Universal Health Care Act sets that framework, directing the health system to be coordinated across agencies and levels of government to achieve universal health coverage. It outlines how policies, financing, and service delivery should be harmonized to ensure quality, affordable care for all Filipinos, so an Administrative Order like AO 2021-0037 would be aligned with RA 11223 because it implements or supports that national reform agenda. The Local Government Code governs how health services are managed at the local level but does not provide the overarching universal reform framework. The Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act addresses traditional medicine practices, not the nationwide health system alignment. The Tax Reform Act deals with fiscal matters and does not guide health policy alignment.
