Acting Department of Budget and Management Secretary Kim Robert de Leon stressed that free tuition must be matched with quality education, modern facilities, and effective training to produce skilled doctors and nurses.
During his visit to the University of the Philippines-Manila, he inspected medical and nursing simulation laboratories that prepare students for real-world health care.
De Leon emphasized that investing in health education helps improve the quality of medical services for Filipinos.
UP Manila also shares its expertise with other institutions through training programs, research, and health care services.
He added that quality education requires not only modern facilities but also competent teachers, researchers, and university staff.
