An Act Creating Regional Lung Center In Each Of The Administrative Regions In The Philippines, Providing Funds Therefor And For Other Purposes

• This bill aims to create one Regional Lung Center in each of the administrative regions in the country. 
• By doing so, the government will be able to bring the specialized lung and chest care closer to many Filipinos in the countryside as the LCP and other tertiary hospitals that provide quality medical care are mostly concentrated in Metro Manila. 
• Bringing this specialized lung and chest care will not only lessen the burden of our fellow Filipinos in terms of cost and time spent for travelling to the city, but it will also lead to more patients benefiting from specialized care, hence, will prevent the further spread of lung diseases. 
• The Regional Lung Centers shall be administered by the DOH and may be created within the existing DOH Regional Hospitals and Medical Centers. 
• The Centers shall be equipped with essential pulmonary care equipment and necessary medical supplies and shall tap the services of lung and chest specialists and other professionals who shall render services at a subsidized cost.
