Mayor Abby calls for PPP Code amendment for improved healthcare projects
Manila Bulletin
|May 7, 2025
Makati City Mayor and senatorial bet Abby Binay vowed to push for amendments to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Code to remove unnecessary roadblocks to the approval of healthcare projects, especially in rural areas.
"The Philippine PPP Code needs to be amended to address certain issues that hinder the establishment of meaningful partnerships between local governments and the private sector that can radically transform healthcare service delivery," Binay said on Tuesday, May 6.
She cited a provision requiring PPP studies to go through the PPP Center, which delays the approval process and causes bottlenecks.
