Vergeire, ready nang maging DOH chief

ni Lolet Abania | Enero 31, 2023



Handa na ngayon si Department of Health (DOH) officer-in-charge Dra. Maria Rosario Vergeire, kung at kailan siya itatalaga bilang susunod na kalihim ng kagawaran.


“Based from this 6 months or more, I am ready,” pahayag ni Vergeire sa isang interview ngayong Martes. “The hesitancies are there but sa tingin ko, baka kailangan ako ng Pilipino,” saad niya.


Nang maupo noong Hunyo si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. ay wala pa itong in-appoint na full-time DOH chief, na isang mahalagang posisyon sa kanyang gabinete.


Itinalaga ng Pangulo si Vergeire bilang officer-in-charge ng DOH noong Hulyo.


Ayon kay Vergeire, tatalakayin niya ang usapin kay Pangulong Marcos.


“It will go a process where I can discuss this with the President that I am now ready to be appointed if and when that would be his decision,” aniya sa press briefing ngayong hapon.


“For the past 6 months, I've experienced going to the ground... I’ve seen a lot of opportunity that I can change and lead reforms with,” saad ni Vergeire.


Sinabi ni Vergeire na ang kanyang tenure sa ahensiya ang isa sa mga rason ng una niyang pag-aalangan na tanggapin ang posisyon. At habang aniya, kaya niyang manungkulan sa anumang administrasyon bilang isang career official, maaari lamang siyang manatili ng 5 taon bilang health secretary at kailangang ma-secure ang kumpirmasyon ng Commission on Appointments (CA).


“The hesitancies will always be. There are a lot of issues, there are a lot of considerations, but syempre mananaig pa rin kung ano talaga ‘yung gusto mong gawin. Sa tingin ko, I’ve reached that point na ito na ‘yung time para makatulong talaga ako para sa ating bansa,” sabi ng opisyal.


“With all of these things happening at sa lahat ng trabaho na kailangan gawin for us to really improve on our healthcare system, sa tingin ko, this is the appropriate time for me to help the country,” wika pa ni Vergeire.
