President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Wednesday emphasized the need for strong public-private partnerships in the healthcare sector to improve access to quality health services for Filipinos.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony of the St. Bernadette Children and Maternity Hospital in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, Marcos underscored the importance of healthcare and affordable health services, and called for cooperation.
“Kinakailangan natin ang suporta mula sa lahat ng panig ng lipunan—sa pamahalaan, pribadong sektor, sa ating mga mamamayan—upang magiging matagumpay tayo sa mithiing ito,” the president said.
“Sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan ng malalakas na pangangatawan ng mamamayan, maitatatag natin ang isang progresibong Pilipinas, kung saan walang mapababayaan at walang maiiwan sa ating pagtahak tungo sa mas maginhawa, mas ligtas na pamumuhay sa darating na panahon,” he added.
Marcos urged the private sector and medical professionals to support and promote the administration's healthcare programs, especially in the areas of medical services and investment in health infrastructure, particularly in far-flung and underserved communities.
He also asked the Department of Health (DOH) and the San Jose del Monte city government to collaborate with each other to ensure that the children and maternity hospital will be constructed on time and by current standards.
The St. Bernadette Children and Maternity Hospital is part of the administration's development programs aligned with the Philippine Health Facility Development Plan (PHFDP) and will be equipped with 65 hospital beds, operating room, recovery room, maternity and isolation facilities, clinical laboratory, imaging facility, and pharmacy.
