Abstract of the presentation:

In 2001, the Philippine Institute of  Traditional and Alternative Health Care of the Department of Health (DOH-PITAHC) in partnership with the Pranic Healing Foundation of the Philippines explored possibilities of integrating pranic healing into the country's health care delivery system.

From 1992-2001 a total of 12,506 attended pranic healing courses throughout the Philippines. The uneven distribution of graduates indicate high shares in Regions IV, I and the National Capital Region, and low shares in Regions VIII, X and VII. Achieving a ratio of one pranic healer for every 5,000 population is the desired goal. The creation of PITAC in 1997 provided an institutional base for accelerating the dissemination of pranic healing.

The execise envisioned the strengthening of the health care delivery system through meditation and energy healing, consequently legitimizing pranic healing. This is to be achieved by setting-up models of pranic healing centers in six regions using government hospitals and community health facilities among others; build training capacities of at least 16 Department of Health Trainors-Organizers;
