Lawmakers are pushing for the establishment of specialty hospitals across major regions in the country to bring quality health care closer to people residing outside Metro Manila.

House Bill 6857 filed by Davao City Rep. Paolo Duterte, Benguet Rep. Eric Yap, and ACT-CIS Reps. Jeffrey Soriano and Edvic Yap aims to establish these specialty hospitals in Northern Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas, Northern Mindanao and Southern Mindanao.

Duterte said their proposed law will “ensure that affordable, quality healthcare is accessible to most Filipinos.” HB 6857 states that once it is enacted into law, the regional branches of specialty hospitals shall be built within three years. Under the bill, all tax exemptions and privileges enjoyed by the existing Metro Manila-based specialty hospitals shall also be availed by their regional branches.
