According to the three laws that I researched, I think that the Philippine law
can provide good quality of health care. The government and its power to impose
such laws enables medical practitioners to treat manage illness and preserve health.
They play the role of ensuring that good quality health care would be given by
hospitals/clinics/staffs to the patient by ensuring that the source of medical
treatment is fit for the job. The government makes sure that the laboratories,
hospitals and staff are fit to operate and function as seen in RA 4688. On the other
hand, the issue of licensing and maintenance and track of all types of hospitals un
the Philippines is under RA 4226 where in which the he Bureau of Medical Services
serves as the licensing agency and has the power and duty to monitor the hospitals.
Since health care is concerned in good and services designed to promote health
including preventive, curative and palliative interventions directed to individuals or
the population, RA 8344 suits the concept of non-discriminatory health care and life
saving medical treatment. The government protects the people by setting a law that
ensures that they would be given the needed medical treatment in emergency or
serious cases. It protects the people from the hospital/staff that would deny them by
stating the right of the patient and imposing punishment to the violators. In
conclusion, I think that the Philippine law can provide safe and immediate health
care through the implementation of the said laws. There are some loopholes to these
laws, which can be solved if it will be revised. The main problem of the laws
presented is how can it be strictly implemented and how can the law monitor all of
these agencies, hospitals, clinics and medical staff involved?
