PhilHealth CEO considers taking a leave as investigation starts

Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) President and Chief Executive Officer Ricardo Morales is considering to take a leave once the investigation starts on the alleged corruption in the agency, in response to calls made by several senators to do so.

“Even if you change the PhilHealth president every week, this problem will not be stopped,” he pointied out.

He cautioned abrupt change of officials might result to more problems than solutions.

“If PhilHealth wants to reduce its losses to fraud and inefficiencies by developing a robust information system, it can spend up to P19.6 billion and still come out ahead,” the PhilHealth CEO added. – PTV News
