Universal Health Care Coordinating Council aprubado ni Pangulong Marcos
Inaprubahan ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. ang panukala ng Department of Health na bumuo ng Universal Health Care Coordinating Council.
Sa pulong balitaan sa Malakanyang, sinabi ni Health Secretary Ted Herbosa na layunin ng council na siguruhin na na maayos na naipatutupad ang Universal Health Care Law.
“We will standardize the health policies. The council will serve as a national governance body that will oversee the implementation of Universal Health Care Act nationwide, the project and estimate total national cost for UHC and also implementation of the Universal Health Care at local government level. It will serve as the venue to discuss relevant concerns that might be raised during the implementation of UHC,” pahayag ni Herbosa.
Sabi ni Herbosa, ang DOH ang magsisilbing chairman habang co-chairman naman ang Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Pinamamadali aniya ni Pangulong Marcos sa DILG ang pag-review sa Executive Order No. 138 ukol sa implementasyon ng Supreme Court ruling sa Mandanas-Garcia petitions at isama ang mga amendmends sa Universal Health Care financing reforms.
“The UHC law was enacted on February 2019 and the vision was progressive realization that can be achieved through a systems approach, clear road delineation of stakeholders and ensure equitable access and affordable healthcare and protection without financial risk,” sabi ni Herbosa.
