A group of doctors and health workers assailed yesterday the investigating teams that absolved officials of the Rizal Medical Center (RMC) in Pasig City where nine newborn babies died of sepsis two weeks ago.


In a statement, the Health Alliance for Democracy (HEAD) said the findings made by the teams are "a prescription for whitewash through victim-blaming, as shown by the deliberate misinterpretation of facts by government authorities."

Opposition congressmen are not about to give up their campaign to impeach President Arroyo despite appeals from administration allies for them to abandon what the latter describe as a "futile" effort.


"We are not abandoning the impeachment bid. We will pursue it because it is the right thing to do," Minority Leader Francis Escudero told reporters yesterday.

Dr. Gene Nisperos, secretary general of the Health Alliance for Democracy (HEAD), said the WHO proposes that five percent of a country’s Gross National Product (GNP) should be earmarked for health services.


"But the budget of the Department of Health (DOH) is a measly P10 billion. If we follow the WHO’s recommendation, it should be P86 billion," he noted.
