President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. said the lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic should prompt the Philippines to boost production of local medicines to have sufficient stockpile during emergencies.
Marcos directed the Department of Health and the Food and Drug Administration to work with the private sector to identify medicines that can be manufactured locally. The PSAC will monitor new technologies in healthcare that can be used for geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas and recommend those to the DOH and PhilHealth. It will also study the feasibility of establishing remote diagnostics centers and assess new medical technologies and their costs.
