A person with the big heart who knows what the people need, willing to stand and fight for the people. He is Sen. JV Ejercito, the man behind the Universal Healthcare Bill or Mr. Healthcare. The said bill was recently passed and signed that turned into law.
The Universal Health Care law will transform 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.
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.
Our work will not stop here. We will ensure sustainable funding for UHC. We will also continue working with the civil society organizations, the medical community, and other stakeholders to ensure the success of its implementation.
