Yet, this matter has arrived at the Office of the President and you can expect, we will have refreshes and will likewise explain this next time. Along with this, International concerns Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. what’s more Health Secretary Francisco Duque III were exchanging insults later Locsin said the Department of Health (DOH) failed” on a 50-million needle acquirement bargain.
Duque has said Locsin’s claim is a “lie.” Not only this, Locsin lashed back at Duque and said that Duque never question his thought processes.
In the interim, Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said the nation has an adequate stockpile of needles. Along with this, Vergeire clarified that albeit the ideal needle utilized for Pfizer antibodies would be the 0.3 ml, the public authority is utilizing another option the tuberculin needles in view of the worldwide deficiency of this clinical stockpile.
In the interim, the DOH yesterday guaranteed general society of full consistence with government obtainment rules in the crisis acquisition of needles for the immunization program.
In consistence with Republic Act (RA) 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act, the wellbeing boss said the DOH conveyed Requests for Quotations (RFQs) to the defender organization and 50 other neighborhood providers.
While the DOH got a proposal to supply 0.3 ml needles, the office can’t follow up on such a spontaneous proposition, as indicated by Duque. Duque added that the DOH reacted to the inquiries of the organization through its specialized staff, who are knowledgeable in the acquisition cycle for wellbeing products and are explicitly entrusted to address questions from providers.
At the point when the organization scrutinized the Approved Budget for Contract (ABC) or the most extreme agreement cost for being excessively low, notwithstanding, the DOH needed to repeat the arrangement on Ceiling at Bid Costs of the 2016 Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 9184.
There is by all accounts a series of false impressions in regards to this issue. For one’s purposes, the DOH isn’t obtaining 0.3 ml needles right now, as our CHDs and medical clinics have been given assets to acquire the accessible other option, tuberculin needles. What we are getting are 0.5 ml needles and, as a feature of our pool of providers, we welcomed however many providers as we can to get the best cost for the public authority.
The UNICEF-secured needles are 0.3 ml, and their cost isn’t similar to that of 0.5 ml needles where he added, alluding to the United Nations Children’s Fund, while noticing that the DOH had the option to obtain the 0.5 ml needles last April at P2.38 each and has since utilized such expense for its ABC.
Morever, Duque said there is no continuous acquirement of 0.3 ml needles as the DOH has as of now settled band-aid measures to guarantee plentiful stock of ancillaries considering the postponed conveyances of the secured supplies.
