Strengthening the country's healthcare and education sectors, as well as fighting hunger are at the forefront of presidential aspirant Vice President Leni Robredo's pandemic recovery plan for 2022.
This will include forming a team of experts to advise the government, revamping the embattled Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, ensuring sufficient salaries and benefits for medical frontliners, rolling out free testing, supporting hospitals, and purchasing enough medicine supply.
Robredo said the government will also expand the"E-Konsulta system" — a teleconsultation platform launched by her office earlier in the pandemic — through partnerships with private service providers. The Vice President also vowed enough funds for the procurement of COVID-19 vaccines, and to ensure the doses' smooth distribution at the local level.Gamit ito, matitiyak na hindi dadaan sa gutom ang mga pamilya, mabibili nila ang kanilang pangunahing mga pangangailangan[Translation: With this, we can ensure that families will not experience hunger, they can buy their essentials.]
The presidential aspirant added that she will push for the implementation of granular and street-level lockdowns instead of a nationwide quarantine.Sa halip na magpatupad ng malawakang lockdown, ipapatupad ang granular at street-level lockdowns. |
