Abstract: In this study, a spatiotemporal analysis of trends and disparities in health service coverage indicators was conducted using PhilHealth data on insurance claims, membership, and accredited facilities merged with auxiliary datasets from the Department of Health and Philippine Statistics Authority. The results emphasize clear disparities in population coverage, facility coverage, service coverage, and financial protection across different subpopulations.
