TF proposes to place PhilHealth under interim management
The Task Force PhilHealth has recommended to President Rodrigo Duterte that the state insurer be placed under an interim management committee.
Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, convenor of the task force, stated that an interim committee is needed due to apparent systemic problems that are difficult to resolve with the current structure.
The Governance Commission for Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GCG), under the Office of the President, has the statutory mandate to institute such organizational changes.
The task force is recommending that the GCG be directed by the President to consider this measure as part of efforts to strengthen PhilHealth.
Guevarra mentioned that the details of the interim committee, including its composition and terms of reference, will be determined by the GCG.
Part of PhilHealth's systemic problems includes the lack of a centralized IT system for tracking accounts and transactions.
