Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 23) A lawmaker urged the Senate on Sunday to pass several hospital expansion bills despite a recent clash between Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon and Senator Bong Go on the issue of financing for hospital upgrades.
House Majority Leader and Leyte 1st District Rep. Martin G. Romualdez said the Senate should realize the need to improve the basic healthcare services in the countryside. These bills are seeking to upgrade the services, facilities, professional healthcare, and increase the number of medical personnel of two hospitals to serve the people, he was quoted as saying in a statement.
