Go wants improved health care for newborns

IN line with his commitment to promote better health care services, Sen. Bong Go sought expanded benefits for newborn babies on Monday in support of the 22nd National Newborn Screening (NBS) Convention in Manila.

The senator, who has been holding regular public hearings to scrutinize various policies of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth), called on the state health insurer to include treatment of the 29 metabolic and congenital disorders that may be found among newborn babies.
