00:00The Zero Billing Program of the Department of Health or DOH is encouraging it to become a law so that more Filipinos can be served.

00:07Details in the news of the country of Bien Manalo by PTV.

00:13Rolly Fausto has been a taxi driver for more than 20 years.

00:17This was his way to meet the needs of his family and to educate his children.

00:24But just last month, he was hospitalized due to over fatigue.

00:32I just felt that my body was weak. I just felt sleepy, so I went to sleep.

00:38That's all we do.

00:40But he is very thankful because he was not paid for his stay in the hospital for two days.

00:47This is because of the Zero Billing Program of the government.

00:51It's a big thing for our country. It's very helpful.

00:57A group is encouraging the Zero Billing Program to become a law

01:02that will greatly help our fellow Filipinos.

01:06Priority in the program are low-income individuals in government hospitals

01:10under the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients

01:16or MAEFIB Program of the Department of Health.

01:19If the Zero Billing Program becomes a law,

01:22the professional fee of the doctor will not be included in the patient's payment,

01:26aside from the hospital bills and other important medical services

01:31such as chemotherapy, dialysis, dental services, and laboratory procedures.

01:37This is a good way for our countrymen not to struggle

01:45when they need enough medicine but don't have enough money.

01:49Our countrymen are at the end of the problem.

01:53The Zero Billing Program is just one of the initiatives of the administration

01:57of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.

01:59in promoting and strengthening the healthcare system of the Philippines.

02:04In fact, during his day last year,

02:08President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ordered the Health Department

02:12to fund all in-patient, out-patient, and emergency services

02:17in 22 public hospitals across the country.

02:20More than P300 million was allocated for this.

02:24What are we aiming for now?

02:26First, to reduce the price of medicines.

02:30Second, to free all hospitals so that we can implement what we call Zero Billing.

02:38We are also monitoring our poor countrymen

02:42who need the support of their relatives.

02:46In addition, the group is also supporting the bill

02:50to remove the value-added tax on all medicines

02:53which is a huge reduction in the cost of our countrymen.

02:58From PTV Manila, BN Manalo, Balitang Pambansa.
