The House of Representatives on Monday unanimously approved a bill establishing specialty centers in hospitals supervised and controlled by the Department of Health (DOH).
Likewise, the bill provides that selected DOH hospitals will be designated as National Specialty Centers, Advanced Comprehensive Specialty Centers, and Basic Comprehensive Specialty Centers for each of the specialties in accordance with the Philippine Health Facility Development Plan.
In addition, the bill mandates the establishment of at least one specialty center in every region within five years upon the effectivity of this Act based on the top burden of disease and special needs in the area. It also tasks the state-run national specialty centers, such as the Philippine Heart Center, National Kidney and Transplant Institute, and Lung Center of the Philippines to lead in the development of policies, protocols, and training for the specialty centers.
