The New Bilibid Prison hospital doctor who allegedly gave hospital passes to convicts and drug lords should be stripped of his medical license, Senator Risa Hontiveros urged. | DYGalvezINQ

During a Senate probe, Hontiveros said NBP medical officer Ursicio Cenas should be stripped of his license for “unprofessional, unethical, and immoral or dishonorable conduct.”Former Bukidnon mayor Jose Galario earlier alleged that drug lords pay a “considerable amount” to Cenas to be able to prolong their stay at the NBP hospital.

The senator said the PRC could strip someone of their license motu propio or by endorsement by a government agency. Citing a Philippine Center of Investigative Journalism report, Hontiveros said that three to five inmates in the Quezon City jail die because of “lack of ventilation and lack of access to medical care.”
