Chair of the Senate Committee on Health Senator JV Ejercito brings great news to all Filipinos as President Rodrigo Duterte finally signed the Universal Health Care Law. The law will help transforms the health seeking behavior of Filipinos. UHC makes medical consultation and several basic laboratory tests affordable and accessible. This will allow the people to value their health more by regularly consulting with doctors.
"Kung dati “Bawal magkasakit dahil magastos magkasakit" ang madalas natin marinig, ngayon wala nang dapat ipangamba kapag tayo ay naglasakit dahil sa UHC law, lahat ng Filipino ay magiging automatic member ng PhilHealth at covered ito ng National Health Insurance Program of the Government. Karamay natin ang Gobyerno sa mga gastusin at siniguradong abot kaya na ang pagpapagamot. The UHC is one of the primary reasons I fought for the restoration of almost P16 billion funds for the Health Facilities Enhancement Program and the P7 billion for the Human Resources for Health of the Department of Health in the 2019 National Budget." according to Reelectionist Senator JV Ejercito.
Ejercito want the completion of constructions and renovations of health facilities of barangay health stations, provincial, regional, and national hospital: and furnish them with all the necessary medical equipment and health professionals they need to be capable of providing primary health care at the grassroots level. This and many more are the noble intentions of the UHC.
Senator JV ensures sustainable funding for UHC. His team continuously working with the civil society organizations, medical community and other stakeholders to ensure the success of its implementation.
