National Economic and Development Authority Undersecretary Rosemarie Edillon, in a Palace statement, said the establishment of “regional specialty hospitals,” which is provided in the 2023-28 Philippine Development Plan that President Marcos approved last week, shows the administration’s commitment to prioritizing Filipinos’ health-care needs.“The message is good, that we are really prioritizing health; so this will be the first of many, I hope,” Edillon said.
“What we really wanted are regional specialty hospitals and we put that in the PDP. So that our countrymen from faraway provinces need not go all the way to [Metro] Manila [for their medical needs],” she added.
