Episode Details

Nine out of ten cardiovascular cases under the National Health Insurance program stem from high blood pressure, spotlighting the massive toll of chronic illness. Hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease dominate healthcare demands — with Type 2 diabetes leading the diabetes cases, underscoring the urgent need for early detection and prevention. But there’s hope: primary care usage surged, with over 121,000 visits last year, including 27,000 annual physicals and 10,000 chronic care visits — a clear sign people are prioritizing proactive health. The NHI now serves 163,000 across nine islands, supported by 130 doctors and 82 facilities, while maternity and pediatric visits also climbed. This shift toward preventive care is a powerful step toward healthier futures.
