00:00 The Department of Budget and Management has allocated almost P10 billion in the proposed budget of the Department of Health for 2024.
00:09 Budget Secretary Amena Pangandaman said that most of the budget allocated this year are non-recurring expenses that were added by the Congress last year.
00:18 This includes the funds for health facilities, enhancement program, and medical assistance to the poor during the COVID pandemic.
00:27 The proposed budget of the DOH is P205 billion in 2024 or less than 3.5% of its approved budget this year.
00:37 Health Secretary Ted Herbosa said that they will adjust the amount of the budget to be approved.
00:43 The legislature divides the process. If they want to return the P10 billion that was allocated, we are happy because we will fulfill our mandate as Department of Health.
