A congressional leader has proposed the creation of a joint committee of the Senate and the House of Representatives to evaluate and help find solution to the nation’s ailing health care system.
Under Quimbo’s proposal, five senators and five congressmen will compose the joint committee, to be headed jointly by the chair of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography and the House chair of the Committee on Health. “Almost half of patients covered by PhilHealth pay for their medical expenses out-of-pocket and that any reimbursements by PhilHealth are insufficient to cover hospital expenses,” Quimbo added.
The Philippines currently lags behind in meeting many of the previously set performance targets on Sustainable Development Growth , which are specific to good health and well-being.
