President Rodrigo Roa Duterte in his speech before the newly
appointed government officials in Malacanang Palace challenged each and every
one of them to visit government run hospitals and see for themselves the
sorry-state of Filipino patients there.
“Hamon ko lang ito sa inyo, hamon ko lang (This is just
a challenge to you). Try to visit ‘yung mga ospital lalo na kung may contagion. Nasa
sahig ‘yan sila lahat (especially hospitals where there is a contagion.
The patients lie on the floor),” Duterte said
“‘Yung ibang pasyente maghintay (Other patients who are
waiting), they are lying there in the throes of death on the floor. Tingnan
ninyong mabuti (Look at them properly),” he added.

The President even during his time as mayor in Davao City is
known for visiting cancer-stricken children in hospitals during the holiday
season.
Last December of 2019 the President signed the Bong Go
sponsored law creating the Malasakit Centers which serves as one-stop for easy
access to medical and financial assistance needed to receive health care
services in all hospitals run by the Department of Health (DOH) nationwide.
