Mga kailangang resources ng public health managers, dapat ibigay – Rep. Salceda

Hinimok ni House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Joey Salceda ang pamahalaan na paglaanan ng mga kinakailangang resources ang public health managers ng bansa.

Ayon kay Salceda, kailangang ibigay ng economic managers ng gobyerno ang kinakailangang resources ng public health managers para mas maayos na health situation.

Sabi ni Salceda, handa naman ang Kamara na ibigay ito kapag hiningi sa kanila.

“The immediate strategy, to me, seems obvious: the economic managers should give the public health managers all the resources they need to improve health outcomes, and the public health managers should do everything they can. Congress is prepared to do this,” saad ni Salceda.

Naniniwala rin si Salceda na habang wala pang bakuna sa COVID-19, ang kailangang gawin ay palakasin ang health capacity ng bansa.

“The rule of COVID-19 management is simple: build, build, build health capacity while a vaccine is not yet here,” giit pa ng economist solon.

Hinikayat din nito ang Department of Health na i-adopt ang mga nakapaloob sa Center for Disease Control Bill.

Sabi ni Salceda, “I ask the DOH to shape up. They must disprove the impression that they are merely reactive to developments by demonstrating to the public that they are in control of the situation. This will entail an honest reckoning with current shortcomings, and immediate efforts to improve in those areas. Nothing less will do.”

Hiniling din nito sa sangay ng ehekutibo na ipaalam ng buo sa Kongreso ang kinakailangan ng bansa gayundin ang mga alternatibong paraan.

“Finally, I urge the Executive to apprise us, in Congress, fully of all the country’s needs. We have a strong sense of what our citizens need, from the desperate requests for help from our constituents. Apprise us of the needs, give us alternatives for solutions, identify the costs,” pagtatapos ni Salceda.
