Victory for the Health Sector and the Filipino people. – This is what I shared with the hardworking midwives and other health sector stakeholders during the Midwifery Week and National Convention early today.
I urged our medical practitioners to do more and continuously work together especially now that our proposed landmark measure, the Universal Health Care program has been approved.
This issue of potential collusion between physicians and pharmaceutical companies is very concerning. Whistleblowers allege that doctors are marketing and prescribing drugs, which poses a conflict of interest and breaches ethical standards.
Eh sila po ang nagpapasok din sa ating bansa, sila rin ang nag-i-import, and they own the company. I believe this has to be investigated.
We already knew about it two to three months ago and we did some research. Initial investigations also revealed that luxury cars and other high-end items are being used for incentives.
Rest assured that we will investigate further to determine if there are indeed violations of ethical standards in medical practices and if there is a conflict of interest present.
