Walang nakikitang iregularidad ang Palasyo ng Malakanyang sa alokasyon ng Interim Reimbursement Mechanism (IRM) ng PhilHealth sa Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC).

Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, hindi nakagugulat kung nakakuha ng malaking pondo ang SPMC dahil mayroong 1,500 bed ang ospital at may 3,600 na personnel.

Base rin aniya sa talaan ng Department of Health (DOH), ang SPMC rin ang pinakamalaking ospital sa buong bansa.

Sa hearing sa Senado, nabuking na ang SPMC nakakuha ng pinakamalaking pondo na aabot ng P336 milyong IRM.

Ayon kay Roque, umabot sa 76,586 ang total admission sa SPMC noong nakaraang taon at 586,278 na outpatients .

“In addition, SPMC has several integrated specialty buildings which are stand alone, like the Heart Institute, the Institute for Women and Newborn Care, the Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Institute, the Cancer Institute, the Intensive Care Complex, and the main hospital for General Medicine and Surgery. It has the biggest hemodialysis in the country with 65 dialysis chairs,” pahayag ni Roque.

“Historically, SPMC has had the biggest amount of claims due to its regular provision of healthcare services to patients all over Mindana,” dagdag ni Roque.
