UHC law to facilitate Covid-19 vaccination rollout: Gordon
Senator Richard J. Gordon believes that implementing the Universal Health Care (UHC) law is crucial for a fast and organized COVID-19 vaccine rollout in the Philippines.
Gordon highlighted that the UHC law requires every Filipino to register with a chosen primary care provider, which would streamline vaccine distribution.
He emphasized that having registered primary care providers would simplify the process of identifying individuals who need vaccination and tracking those who have already received it.
The senator urged the Department of Health (DoH) to coordinate with various health care systems to deliver population-based health services as stipulated by the UHC law.
