CITY OF SAN FERNANDO\u2013A group of farmers has expressed opposition to the proposed privatization of a regional hospital here.
\nFarmers from the Anakpawis Party-list in Central Luzon have opposed the move to privatize the Jose B. Lingad Memorial Regional Hospital (JBLMRH).<\/p>\n
Joseph Canlas, regional coordinator of the farmer\u2019s party-list, said JBLMRH is among the 26 public hospitals in the country targeted to be \u201ccorporatized\u201d through the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program of the Aquino administration.<\/p>\n
The privatization of regional hospitals is being pushed in the Congress under House Bill 6069 or \u201cAn Act Creating National Government Hospital Corporations.\u201d The bill was filed by Bacolod City Representative Anthony Rolando Golez, Jr., also chairman of the house committee on health.
\n\u201cIf you are to look at these hospitals, these are where we, poor people, run into in times of emergencies as we do not have the budget for private hospitals. If these were privatized, it is the same as the government saying to us \u2018let poor people die,\u2019\u201d Canlas said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe people of Central Luzon should strongly oppose this plan to privatize JBLMRH, as it puts us all in grave risk. We call on all sectors to act against the plan and demand for improved health service,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Aside from the JBLMRH, the following hospitals are also included in the house bill: Cagayan Valley Medical Center, Veterans Regional Hospital, Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center, Ilocos Training and Regional Medical Center, Regional Medical Center, Dr. Paulino J. Garcia Memorial Research and Medical Center, Bicol Medical Center (Naga City), Bicol Research Training and Teaching Hospital (Legaspi City), Quirino Memorial Medical Center, Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center, Rizal Medical Center, Amang Rodriguez Medical Center, San Lazaro Hospital, Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center, Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center, Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital, Western Visayas Medical Center, Northern Mindanao Medical Center, Southern Philippines Medical Center, Zamboanga City Medical Center, Cotobato Regional and Medical Center, CARAGA Regional Hospital, Davao Regional Hospital, Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro, Sr. Regional Center and Training Hospital.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were not born yesterday to believe the excuses of the Aquino government of simply \u2018corporatizing\u2019 or improving the management of public hospitals. Every indigent patient has experienced the inadequacies of public hospitals, not because of its medical personnel or doctors, but of lacking of facilities and services that are supposed to be supported by the government,\u201d Canlas said.<\/p>\n
The farmer\u2019s party-list also called for the scrapping of the PPP because \u201cit does not serve the people\u2019s basic interest such as health services.\u201d \u25cfCharlene A. Cayabyab<\/p>\n
