Hontiveros claimed that the Independent Price Negotiation Board is empowered to negotiate with suppliers over prices of medical supplies and new technology that healthcare workers need.“Masisigurado ng anti-overpricing body na standardized ang mga presyo ng mga bibilin nating mga gamot, personal protective equipment o PPE, testing kit, at iba pang mga pangaganilangan laban sa COVID-19.
“PhilHealth must ensure full enforcement of anti-corruption measures so that resources are prepared for those who need it the most, especially in this public health crisis. An oversight of PhilHealth’s future spending can prevent the misuse of funds and ensure that records of spending are made transparent to everyone.”
