Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said that the availability of budget for the program is still a problem, particularly on the succeeding years of its implementation. The DOH will start to implement the program next year.
“[That is] P257 billion in the first year of implementation with incremental increases of about 10 to 15 percent per annum, so all told, you’ve been talking about five year– 2020 to 2024– that will be about P1.5 trillion requirement to operationalize UHC,” he said. “I never said that there is enough money, in fact, I’ve been saying there’s not enough money but it does not mean that the implementation of the Universal Health Care law stops just because there is not enough funding. It will continue,” he said.
