Senator Raffy Tulfo eyes cutting the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ proposed P23.131 billion for 2023 by P2 billion and realign it to the National Children’s Hospital.
The neophyte lawmaker lamented the sad state of two major hospitals in the country namely the NCH and the Philippine Children’s Medical Center.
“The NCH, the health facility for the poorest and weakest, is in dire need of our help. Kung paano naghihingalo ang mga pasyente doon, ganon din ang paghihingalo ang pasilidad at sitwasyon ng NCH,” Tulfo said. “What kind of parents are we to these children? The therapy room is very small just imagine po halos kalahati lang po yan ng public CR natin dito sa Senado,” he continued.“Ipaglalaban ko po na bawasan ang budget ng DENR na para sa akin ay maraming pagkukulang.
Tulfo likewise challenged the Department of Health, Department of Budget and Management and his fellow legislators in the House of Representatives and the Senate to visit the NCH to see for themselves the real situation in the state hospital.
