As stated in the resolution, the HFEP is a DOH program that aims to improve and upgrade health facilities in order to sufficiently provide emergency and primary health care services to people.
BM Baniqued noted that the HFEP’s budget has been allocated for infrastructure projects for local government units in the country to include Pangasinan as one of the beneficiaries for three years now.
Dr. Cielo Almoite, Asst. Provincial Health Officer, disclosed that the other seven provincial hospitals have earlier received the same projects in the past year. Cost of funding per hospital, she added, depends on the identified needs each hospital as assessed by the Provincial Engineering Office (PEO). Copy of approved program of works and detailed estimates, plans and specifications will be forwarded to the DOH regional office.

HFEP was crafted in 2008 mainly to align the nationwide government hospital system with the Health Reform Sector Agenda. Priorities for funding were the upgrade of licensing classification and PhilHealth accreditation of government hospitals and expansion of services in tertiary hospitals to provide higher quality care.
