“Santiago wants more support for
those who are seriously ill but cannot afford”, the senator will file a
bill for those who are seriously sick individuals.
Santiago introduced the “Senate
Bill 2284”, calls for all establishments and stakeholder for a
strategic summit, awareness initiative, health care training, quality life
education and a committee focused on palliative research.
“Those people living with serious
illness may experience insufficiently treated symptoms, uneven care, and poor contact
with their specialist” said Santiago, who is now battling with lung
cancer to improve lives of every patient and its families, a public outreach
and education on symptom management on those serious diseases.
Palliative care focused on relieving
those stress, pain and other symptoms that will lead to serious illness, such
as heart, renal, cancer, and liver failure, Alzheimer’s disease, lung disease
and other related dementias.
The sole objective is to mandate
DOH (Department of Health) to convene strategic stakeholder summit after a year
of effective of the bill, to analyze health system barriers and look for
strategic solutions.
