House Senior Deputy Speaker Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has praised President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. before an international panel for having the “political vision” to fight deadly diseases other than Covid-19, particularly tuberculosis.

This took place during a Washington Post-sponsored forum on “Ending Tuberculosis” last Tuesday, Jan. 17. It was held on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.She reckoned during the discussions that having political vision was among the crucial political factors in the bid to end tuberculosis.

“And when we talked, when, when the health authorities of the Philippines were speaking out, they said that we have to go back to pre-Covid levels in healthcare. But our new President said, ‘No, pre-covid is not good enough. There has to be transformation,'” she recalled.Arroyo said there is a need to “realize that we may have to shift somewhat from a Covid-centric mindset to deal with other important and essential health issues, including tuberculosis”.
