Abstract
Challenges related to healthcare financing, service availability, accessibility, workforce, and information systems can hinder the implementation and delivery of primary care services, particularly for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and other sexual and gender minority individuals in developing countries like the Philippines. Addressing these issues requires a collaborative, multi-sectoral approach involving government agencies, private sector partners, and community stakeholders.
