According to organizer Natividad Sugguiyao, Provincial Officer of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), Kalinga Provincial Office, the activity is sponsored by the Philippine Sports For All Association (PSFAS) in cooperation with KASC, NCIP, and the Rotary Club of Tabuk.

She said the wellness forum will cover areas on women’s health concerns and free medical services for women such as pap smear, bone calcium examination and other medical needs to maintain women’s good health.

“We are expecting 300 women participants from all over the province,” Sugguiyao said adding that the forum will ride on a separate theme “I am fit for the 21st century”. She said the program will start with a fun run in the morning from Bulanao proper to Capitol Hills where the forum will be held.

A solon urges the government to support the medical tourism potential of the country to reap its economic benefits.

Congressman Ruffy Biazon, the proponent of House Bill 49, is pushing for the creation of a Medical Tourism Bureau within the Department of Health (DOT) to formulate policies relative to the development of the industry, implement plans and programs, coordinate and supervise all activities of the government concerning health and wellness or medical tourism.

The legislative measure designates DOT to facilitate the simplification of procedures and regulations for the availment of medical services by foreign tourists, returning OFWs and other Filipinos from abroad. More importantly, it shall formulate standards for health and wellness-oriented establishments to ensure that facilities, personnel and services are maintained in accordance with local and international norms in operations of tourism-oriented establishments.

Biazon’s proposal aims to address the confusion in the functions of eleven government agencies that comprised the Philippine Medical Tourism Program created by EO 372 by different agencies pertinent to the PMTP in one office. (more…)
