00:00The DOH is to focus on policies that are implementable and readily felt within the next two years.
00:10And we want to prioritize the following, continue expanding zero-balance billing,
00:18revisit primary health care registration,
00:23to address fraud on implementation of field health case rates, for example, in YACA.
00:34Monitoring of service quality, complementation with HVET programs, among others.
00:44So, further directives is to strengthen the procurement systems to ensure protection of health workers,
00:54implement a catch-up plan for our budget utilization,
00:59focus more on strategic initiatives, dedicate special teams,
01:07and to focus on immediate distribution of commodities
01:12and communication strategies to align with program implementation.
01:19Well, sa meeting kanina, hindi na napag-usapan yung amendments that is being addressed by Congress.
01:25And in fact, bukas ng umaga, the Technical Working Group will be working on that.
01:29Aminado naman namin na hindi siya magiging mapilis,
01:33subalit, habang hindi pa matatag yung batas dahil nga sa dalawang killer provisions,
01:38the Department of Health Headed by Secretary Briggs Cujalte
01:41will now move forward para maramdaman ng tao ang kalusugan
01:45and at the same time, yung mga programang nandiyan dyan ay ma-maximize,
01:49at the same time, mabantayan.
01:52Kasi napakaraming programa ang magaganda, lalo na yung field health,
01:56na yung mga programang ito ay hindi nag-transcend ng buo
02:00dahil nga merong mga kailangang ayusin na buson.
02:05What I'm going to do in the next couple of months
02:09is may schedule na nga kaming gumawa, ginawa.
02:13Last week I already started with Mindanao
02:16and then next week it will be Visayas
02:19and then Luzon, then repeat
02:21until I finish visiting the different regions
02:28and we intend to collaborate with the local government
02:35and pag-visita nga namin may dala akong engineer
02:40to inspect or to help them
02:44with their local health facilities
02:48kung paano makakatulong ng DOH.
02:51That's one.
02:52That's one.
