Senator Pia Cayetano said it is high-time the government prioritizes investments in infrastructure for healthcare facilities to enable the Philippines cope with health emergency crisis like the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Cayetano, during the Senate Committee on Health and Demography’s hearing on the various bills tackling the creation of specialty hospitals and medical centers across the country, lamented that over the years prioritization of infrastructure for healthcare facilities has not been consistent.
Lawmakers, she said, should support these bills considering the importance of investing in healthcare services.
“Clearly, we all know that COVID-19 has put a spotlight on health care and has revealed the gaps in our systems,” Cayetano pointed out during the virtual hearing on Thursday, April 29.
