Under RA 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991, local government units (LGUs) are autonomous, and therefore in control of their basic health services, including the budget. Because of this, it is typical to see diverse and unrelated eHealth projects developing all over the county such as the Wireless Access for Health (WAH) in Tarlac, the Secured Health Information and Network Exchange (SHINE) in Iloilo, and the numerous CHITS installations in municipalities all over the Philippines. LGUs may develop their systems. These efforts have accelerated the development of eHealth in community health.
