The DOH says it acted in the 'best interest of the thousands of cancer patients' relying on the DOH's cancer program.
MANILA, Philippines – At least five current officials of the Department of Health are facing a complaint for criminal and administrative offenses in relation to the alleged mismanagement of funds for cancer medicines.
Aside from the mismanagement, Cairo also alleged that there was a reduction of access sites for cancer medicines from 31 to only 19. He added there was a removal from procurement of cheaper cancer medicines with generic equivalent, in favor of patent rights owned by a multinational pharmaceutical firm.
“Thus, many of their CSPMAP-enrolled patients had to discontinue or abandon their treatment due to [the] unavailability of the lifesaving medicines,” Cairo said in his complaint.
