00:00 The President's Sector Meeting with the Health Department
00:07 on the Improvement of the Health Sector in the Country
00:11 was discussed by Alan Francisco.
00:13 The improvement and improvement of the health sector in the country
00:19 was discussed earlier in the Sector Meeting in Malacanang
00:22 led by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
00:25 In the Sector Meeting, President Marcos gave the importance of the National Human Resources Master Plan,
00:31 particularly on Human Resources and Preventive Health Care,
00:35 or ways to avoid the disease of Filipinos.
00:38 This includes the so-called BUCA Centers,
00:42 or the new Urgent Care and Ambulatory Services,
00:45 the arrangement of hospitals, and the focus on the health of women.
00:49 The President agreed with the program on Promotive Health Care.
00:54 There's also the fact that we can do prevention,
00:58 like vaccination and other things that you can do.
01:02 According to Health Secretary Chedoro Herbosa,
01:05 President Marcos also discussed with them
01:08 the installation of health facilities in five islands known as tourist spots.
01:12 These are Coron, El Nido, Siargao, Panglao, and Buracay,
01:16 which are geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.
01:21 DOH will also study the installation of floating clinics
01:25 in local governments on the islands.
01:27 Is the government proposing to have floating clinics in our highland LJUs?
01:31 Your reaction on that, sir?
01:32 Yes, because I announced the mobile clinics that will be launched soon.
01:37 So we have the first deliveries of this.
01:40 The mobile clinics have x-ray, ultrasound, hematology, chemistry,
01:46 and then there's a generator.
01:48 We will have this delivered to the communities.
01:51 We procured about 83 of these and these will be delivered in batches.
01:56 Under the administration of President Marcos,
01:59 Dr. Herbosa said that more state universities and colleges
02:04 have been allocated medical professionals
02:06 compared to the previous administration,
02:09 while they are also addressing the lack of medical staff in hospitals.
02:13 Very soon, we will announce that we are actually allocating with DBM
02:19 money to get health insurance.
02:22 So we will give a subsidy, it's small,
02:24 but it will allow them to get health insurance for themselves
02:27 and even their families.
02:28 So they already have a fill-out, they can get health insurance.
02:31 The other one I'm doing is trying to provide housing
02:34 for our healthcare nurses.
02:35 The KALIHIM admitted that dentists in the country are lacking,
02:39 especially those working in the government.
02:41 They should be studying for a degree.
02:44 The Philippines should also focus on dental care.
02:48 Herbosa also mentioned that HIV cases are increasing in the country
02:52 and he believes that education should be the main focus of this disease,
02:56 especially for the youth.
02:58 HIV is not something to be afraid of.
03:01 HIV was the COVID of my time when I graduated medicine.
03:04 In 1983, they discovered this unique illness, AIDS,
03:08 and everybody was scared.
03:10 But now, we all know you will live a normal life
03:13 if you are given an anti-retroviral treatment.
