Stop privatization of public hospitals

The House of Representatives has urged President Duterte to stop selling off public hospitals to the private sector. “The recommended ban on the privatization of public health facilities covers the four specialty hospitals in Quezon City, namely the National Kidney and Transplant Institute, Philippine Heart Center, Lung Center of the Philippines and Philippine Children’s Medical Center. The bill also mandates that 90 percent of the facilities’ bed capacity should be allotted to poor patients.” The House approved the bill on its third reading by 218-0-0.
