STATEMENT ON DOH MISMANAGEMENT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESPONSE

We are appalled by the extent of allegations of misuse of government funds by the Department of Health (DOH) as unraveled by the Commission on Audit (COA). “The Consolidated Annual Audit Report for FY 2020 for government agencies was released on August 13. The COA website disclosed that they have findings of deficiencies involving COVID-19 funds amounting to Php 67.3 Billion resulted from the nonsubmission of documentation or supporting papers, which the DOH may still submit in compliance with the auditor’s recommendation.”
