GRACE POE ON PHILHEALTH:

Our people expect no less than a person of unassailable integrity and competence at the helm of PhilHealth to implement drastic institutional reforms.

The job at hand is tough. However, it is critical in safeguarding not just the health but the wealth of the Filipino people.

The reshuffle within the agency is consistent with our earlier call to carry out a proper cleansing process and guarantee a fund life for the state health insurer that would benefit generations of Filipinos.

The change in leadership should not absolve those who will be found remiss in their obligations, which have brought the PhilHealth in its current ailing state.

Dapat pa ring habulin at parusahan ang mga corrupt at nagpabaya sa tungkulin. Ang pagnanakaw sa kaban ng bayan ay pagkakait sa ating mga kababayan ng kanilang karapatan sa maayos na serbisyong pangkalusugan.
