TARGET BENEFICIARIES

1. PROBLEM:

“Even doctors are getting priced out or experience housing shortage near their
working fields.”

In the Philippines, we are still finding out latest analysis which examines how affordable
housing is for the regional workforce of doctors, nurses and the patients’ families within
public hospitals. The workers whose professions are in service of the community,
especially in the medical field may find it unaffordable to live in the communities they
serve, or they may experience housing shortage.

2. TARGET BENEFICIARIES:

The health care workforce varies in size relative to population, and it varies in
composition both across and within metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas but the
mere focus is within public hospitals that caters who are much in need of public
assistance in health care facilities. In spite of this variability, broadly speaking, access
to health services and medicare beneficiary satisfaction with access are generally
adequate and comparable in rural and urban areas.

Various programs and policies have influenced the ability of public hospitals and
communities to attain adequate access to services appropriate to meet their health
care needs and everyday living. The target beneficiaries of this housing proposal will
cater the Doctors, Nurses, and Patients’ Families that will have access to high-quality
health care services, including primary care services delivered by physicians and
other practitioners and with the help of the local government.

3. GENERAL GOALS:

As a team, we want an easily accessible and developed area providing an unrivaled

residential experience to our housing beneficiaries. We want to ensure provision of
multiple amenities including electricity, gas, water supply and security for the comfort
of residents; proximity to schools, hospitals, mosques/ churches,
and main commercial areas that add value to the quality of life.
BENEFICIARIES (DOCTORS)

Family Physician

Family medicine is one of the primary care specialties. Family practice physicians see
patients of all ages, provide basic care for a variety of common ailments, are usually
the first to recognize major health problems, and may order diagnostic tests or refer
to a specialist.

Internal Medicine Physician

General internists provide primary care to adult patients and can take additional
training after internal medicine residency to sub-specialize in a variety of other areas,
such as gastroenterology, endocrinology, or cardiology.

Internists usually have more hospital-based training than family practitioners and may
have an office-based practice or work as hospitalists, primarily seeing patients in the
hospital.

Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB/GYN)

An OB/GYN is a doctor who specializes in women's reproductive health. These doctors

provide women with preventive care, manage pregnancy, labor, and delivery, and
diagnose and treat diseases of the reproductive organs. They also specialize in
women’s health issues like menopause, hormone problems, contraception, and
infertility.
Surgeon

Surgeons can be trained in general surgery or in more specialized areas of surgery,

such as orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery, or vascular surgery.
Surgeons spend time planning a surgical procedure, operating in the operating room,
and then following up postoperatively to identify complications and to confirm that
the procedure was a success.

The training to become a surgeon is typically several years longer than training for
primary care.

Cardiologist

Cardiology is one of many sub-specialties of internal medicine. Cardiologists focus on

treatment of the heart and its blood vessels.

Training to become a cardiologist is fairly extensive, as several years of fellowship are

required after completing three years of internal medicine residency.

Endocrinologist

A sub-specialty of internal medicine, endocrinologists treat the endocrine system—

the glands that produce and secrete hormones that control and regulate nearly all
of the body's functions. People with diabetes or thyroid disease are often treated by
an endocrinologist.
Gastroenterologist

A sub-specialty of internal medicine, gastroenterologists treat the digestive system.

This field attracts physicians who enjoy doing procedures, but who also like seeing
patients in an outpatient setting as well.

Infectious Disease Physician

Infectious disease physicians deal with infections that are hard to diagnose or treat. A
sub-specialty of internal medicine, infectious disease physicians treat serious infections
such as swine flu, bird flu, and HIV/AIDS, among other communicable diseases.

Nephrologist

Nephrologists treat kidney disease and prescribe dialysis for those experiencing kidney
failure. These physicians train in internal medicine and then sub-specialize in
nephrology, which requires an additional two to three years of fellowship training.

Pulmonologist

Pulmonologists treat the cardio-pulmonary system, which consists of the organs,

including the lungs and heart, that work together to help a person breathe. They often
train in critical care medicine in conjunction with pulmonary disease. As a result, they
may work as intensivists (physicians who cover the intensive care unit) in addition to
seeing patients in an office setting to treat breathing disorders, severe allergies, lung
problems, and other diseases.
Neurologist

Neurologists are doctors who take care of patients with medical conditions that affect
the brain, spine, or nerves. Neurologists see patients who have complex medical
disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and neuropathy. They also
take care of patients who have common problems such as migraine headaches and
dizziness.

Physician Executive

Some physicians do not practice medicine, instead, taking leading roles in healthcare
policy, pharmaceutical research, or in health insurance companies. Non-clinical
doctors generally are required to have completed medical school and residency, as
well as to maintain a medical license.

Radiologist

A radiologist is a physician who is trained in looking at and interpreting diagnostic tests.

Often, the treating physician must look at the test as well, but the radiologist's
interpretation and report can offer additional information or advice for further testing.

Anesthesiologist

Anesthesiologists are trained to manage patient pain and vital signs during surgery.
They also often manage medical emergencies in the hospital, such as cardiac arrest
and sudden breathing problems.
Oncologist

Oncology is a subspecialty of internal medicine. Oncologists take care of patients

who have cancer by treating the cancer itself, as well as the symptoms caused by
the disease. Often, oncologists take part in clinical trials, using new and experimental
treatments for cancers that are otherwise incurable.
