Statement of Senator JV Ejercito on the appointment of the new Philhealth chief

February 5, 2025

My advice to the new Philhealth chief: Do not do a ‘Ledesma.’ His top priority should be public welfare, the implementation of the Universal Health Care (UHC) law instead of treating Philhealth like a private, profit-driven corporation.

Philhealth’s coverage of every Filipino’s hospital and medical expenses must significantly improve in line with UHC’s vision of reducing out-of-pocket costs to ease the burden on every family. 

Dapat sulit ang buwanang kontribusyon natin bilang members. Dapat matiyak na mayroong Philhealth na aalalay sa bawat pamilya sa oras ng pangangailangan, at mapawi ang takot na wala silang pagkukunan ng sapat na pera para sa gamutan o pagpapaospital.
