Manila Bulletin

As the New Year begins, AGRI Party-list Rep. Wilbert T. Lee is calling on the Department of Health (DOH) to make a resolution to enhance the healthcare benefits of Filipinos. With over P500 billion in available funds, Lee emphasizes that the DOH should be more proactive in improving the health benefit packages, especially for those who need it most. This move is seen as a crucial step towards achieving universal healthcare and addressing the country's health concerns. By prioritizing the health and wellbeing of its citizens, the DOH can make a significant impact on the overall quality of life for Filipinos. With the substantial funds at its disposal, the DOH has the opportunity to implement meaningful changes and improvements to the healthcare system, ultimately leading to better health outcomes for the population. Key initiatives such as health insurance, medical assistance, and disease prevention programs can be enhanced, providing a more comprehensive and supportive healthcare system. By doing so, the DOH can help ensure that Filipinos receive the quality healthcare they deserve, aligning with the country's goal of providing accessible and affordable healthcare for all.
