The DOH defended its purchase of ambulances that Sen. Panfilo Lacson claimed to have been overpriced by P1 million apiece. | maricarcincoINQ

She said each one included automated external defibrillator, a suction unit, oxygen and medicines.

Lacson told Inquirer.net on Thursday that the DOH bought the ambulances under its Health Facilities Enhancement Program at P2.5 million each, but he checked with local governments that procured similarly equipped vehicles and found out that the actual cost was only P1.5 million a piece. He did not cite figures on the total number of ambulance units involved in the alleged overprice, but noted that in the Calabarzon region alone, the DOH supposedly distributed 98 units, noting that fleet vehicle purchases usually include one free unit for every 10 purchased.
