The Department of Health is planning to include all measures related to Covid-19 in other public health programs beginning next year.

“So Covid-19, start[ing] January, will be integrated already with our other public health programs. It is not going to be a special program anymore, it is not going to be specific only for Covid-19,” said Vergeire during a press briefing on Friday, Dec. 9. “Kasi ngayon yung mga gamit natin ngayon for healthcare workers, resources–lahat nakatuon sa Covid-19. Kailangan, magkaroon na rin tayo ng pag-iisip sa ating pagpapatupad ng programa na hindi lang Covid-19, there are still non-Covid illnesses that we need to address,” she said.The DOH once again urged lawmakers to pass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention bill before the year ends. This bill is aimed at addressing public health emergencies.
