EXPLANATORY NOTE
Article 11, Section 15 of the Philippine Constitution provides that `the State shall protect
and promote the right to health of the people and instill health consciousness among them." In
addition,  it  is  the  obligation  of the  State  to  prioritize  preventive  healthcare  over  curative
measures, emphasizing the need to improve health services for the people.
This  bill  seeks  to  renationalize  the  General  Emilio  Aguinaldo  Memorial  Hospital,
returning its management, supervision, and control back to the national government under the
Department of Health.
The General Emilio Aguinaldo Memorial Hospital, located in Trece Martires, Cavite,
is the only hospital operated by the government that serves as the primary tertiary healthcare
facility for the city and its adjacent municipalities. Under the DOH's guidance, the hospital's


medical persormel would have better access to updated medical practices and technologies that
would foster more skilled and knowledgeable frontliners. In addition, this would upgrade the
hospital's facilities and improve the quality of healthcare provided to the people.
Overall, this proposed measure will provide better and more efficient delivery of health
services to the people of Trece Martires and the people of Cavite.
In view of the foregoing, the approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
