MANILA, Philippines — Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Francisco Duque III on Monday said the health agency “strongly supports” the proposal to appoint the Secretary of the Department of Finance (DOF) as ex-officio chairman of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) board. I will do my best in implementing Universal Health Care law,” Dominguez said.
