PASIG CITY, Dec. 11 (PIA) TB Champion and Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) President Governor Dakila Cua called for a united stand among all elected public officials to “make TB a priority” amid the COVID-19.
Cua then emphasized the importance of partnership between ULAP and USAID’s TB Platforms in supporting the #EndTB campaign.
More than eight months since the COVID-19 community quarantine, the ULAP chief has been attending online discussions on the full implementation of local TB programs as well as the Universal Health Care Law.
“The attention is now on COVID-19 but we cannot turn our backs from another killer disease, TB is here even before this pandemic and we need to ensure that local government units have enough budget to provide free TB services down to the barangay level amid COVID-19,” Cua said.
