Teleconsult para sa mga PDL, inilunsad ng DOJ at BuCor

Transcript

00:00 As for the lack of doctors in the Bureau of Corrections,

00:04 DOJ and Bucor launched a teleconsultation for PDLs who need medical assistance.

00:11 That's what Luis Eriste reported.

00:13 Aside from the strict prison, one of the big problems of persons deprived of liberty is the treatment.

00:21 The Justice Department admitted that there are very few doctors in the facilities of the Bureau of Corrections

00:28 to treat the PDLs' health.

00:31 That's why DOJ and Bucor launched telemedicine for PDLs in the Correctional Institution for Women.

00:40 Even online, PDLs can now consult.

00:44 If you have a disease, you can see what you can do.

00:47 If you're obese, what can you do?

00:50 And then the app will tell you what to do, what to eat, what to exercise.

00:54 So, it's not just telemedicine, but complete medical solutions for our PDLs.

01:01 PDLs' spending is not a problem anymore.

01:04 Because of the help from the private sector,

01:07 CIW will be able to give 100 vouchers for free consultation.

01:12 They don't have a problem with paying because we know that they are inside

01:18 and it's hard for them to find livelihood.

01:22 So, with that, we are donating telehealth vouchers.

01:26 For now, the program was launched in CIW,

01:29 but DOJ's target is to do this in all facilities of Bucor.

01:34 Hopefully, at least by the end of this administration,

01:38 we will be able to provide a higher number.
