Lee Links Red Tape in Worsening Struggles in PH Healthcare
Lee Links Red Tape in Worsening Struggles in PH Healthcare Manoy Wilbert “Wise” Lee underscored how red tape in government processes extends to healthcare, preventing Filipinos from accessing life-saving medical assistance. Through House Resolution No. 2051, Lee seeks to simplify and expedite government services to benefit citizens in need. “Many Filipinos, especially those who are sick, choose to endure their illnesses at home rather than seek medical help because of high costs and the tedious process of applying for assistance. This must change,” Lee declared. The Bicolano lawmaker has long been an advocate for healthcare reforms. He reminded the public of the commitments he secured from the DOH and PhilHealth to reduce medical costs and expand benefits, including free diagnostic scans and increased PhilHealth coverage for cancer and heart disease treatments by the end of 2024. Lee also celebrated his success in pushing for a 30% increase in PhilHealth benefits earlier this year. He reiterated, “The government’s funds are the people’s money. There is no reason Filipinos should not receive the services they rightfully deserve.” #HealthcareReform #GamotMoSagotKo #WiseLeadership Healthcare Policy Previous Post Latest Posts 20 Nov 2024 Lee Links Red Tape in Worsening Struggles in PH Healthcare 19 Nov 2024 Lee Advocates for Immediate Reform in Government Emergency Response 18 Nov 2024 Lee Urges Simplification of Government Services to Aid Filipinos in Need Categories Healthcare Policy Public Health Initiatives Healthcare Ethics and Legal Issues Healthcare Access and Equity Spread the News
Lee Urges Simplification of Government Services to Aid Filipinos in Need
Lee Urges Simplification of Government Services to Aid Filipinos in Need “Tulungan ang taumbayan, hindi pahirapan!” This was the strong declaration of Cong. Manoy Wilbert “Wise” Lee as he filed House Resolution No. 2051, pushing for the simplification of government processes and requirements. His measure seeks to ensure that Filipinos, particularly those affected by calamities, can access government services without unnecessary burdens. Lee’s resolution emphasizes the importance of effective implementation of existing laws like the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 (RA 9485) and the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018 (RA 11032). “Despite these laws, Filipinos still face excessive paperwork, long application hours, and unnecessary requirements, especially during emergencies when swift assistance is crucial,” Lee lamented. The solon also pointed out how inefficient systems foster corruption, calling for a decisive overhaul of government processes. “We need radical action to eliminate red tape and ensure government services are accessible, efficient, and corruption-free,” he said. As a staunch advocate for the Filipino people, Lee vowed to continue fighting for measures that make government services more responsive and people-centered, especially during times of crisis. #AntiRedTape #GovernmentForThePeople #WiseLeadership Healthcare Policy Previous Post Latest Posts 17 Nov 2024 Lee Slams DOH For Delays in Delivering Health Benefits to Filipinos 16 Nov 2024 Lee Demands Swift Action on DOH and PhilHealth Health Commitments 15 Nov 2024 Lee Criticizes DOH for Failing to Deliver Promised Healthcare Plan Categories Healthcare Policy Public Health Initiatives Healthcare Ethics and Legal Issues Healthcare Access and Equity Spread the News
