MANILA - Public health centers in the country are still incapable of fulfilling the promised benefits of the Universal Health Care program, a Health official said Wednesday, 3 months after President R

odrigo Duterte signed it into law.

"Walang isang municipality, lungsod o lalawigan sa ating bansa na makakatupad na sa pangako ng Universal Health Care. Hindi niya kaya mag-isa," Health Dir. Eric Tayag told ABS-CBN News on the sidelines of an awarding ceremony in Quezon City. "Lahat kailangan pagtuunan ng pansin pero nagsisimula ang lahat sa governance and leadership sapagkat doon lahat nag-uumpisa: ang plano, pano isasagawa ang plano, paano gagastusan ito, paano malalaman ang dapat gawin," he said.

Twenty-three percent of health care facilities in the country have dirty toilets while another 4 percent have no toilets at all, said the the report by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund Joint Monitoring Program.
