Senator Bong Go renewed his call for reforms in the medical technology profession during the 5th National Summit of the Philippine Society of Medical Laboratory Scientists.
He emphasized the need to update the outdated 1969 Medical Technology Act through Senate Bill 172, which seeks to modernize standards and improve compensation.
The proposed law would establish a dedicated Professional Regulatory Board for medical technologists to better reflect current healthcare realities.
Go highlighted the critical role medical technologists play in ensuring accurate diagnoses and patient safety.
The summit provided a platform for collaboration and advocacy to advance the medical technology field in the Philippines.
