Citizens given active role in probe of health centers
The Department of Health (DOH) is launching "Oplan Bantay Super Health Center" tomorrow, allowing citizens to report irregularities involving non-operational Super Health Centers nationwide.
Citizens can send reports, including pictures and videos, of inactive Super Health Centers in their areas using their phones.
This initiative, part of the "Citizens Participatory Audit" as advised by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI), aims to gather public feedback on the approximately 300 Super Health Centers that are reportedly unfinished or idle.
The enhanced Super Health Centers are designed to improve rural healthcare and reduce the burden on hospitals.
Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa formally reported the Super Health Center concerns to the ICI on October 17, and the agency will continue to build cases based on the investigation's findings.
