Hataman takes CHED to task for untapped medical student subsidy program

Deputy Speaker and Basilan lone district Rep. Mujiv Hataman on Monday frowned over the Commission on Higher Education’s failure to disburse a single centavo from its P250-million subsidy intended for medical students in state universities and colleges.

“Kaya mahirap lunukin ang katotohanan na may pondo para pag-aralin ang mga gustong mag-doktor pero walang naging iskolar noong 2018 ,” he said, referring to the Student Financial Assistance Program and Tuition Subsidy for Medical Students. In 2011, the then-ARMM average of the doctor-to-patient ratio was 1:45,224, with Basilan having a 1:58,664 rate, according to figures from the Mindanao Development Authority and the Department of Health .

The former ARMM governor said CHED should study why there were no medical scholars in 2018 when many young Moros wanted to be doctors.
