AN ACT REGULATING THE EDUCATION AND LICENSURE OF PHYSICIANS AND THE PRACTICE OF MEDICINE IN THE
PHILIPPINES, REPEALING FOR THE PURPOSE REPUBLIC ACT NO. 2382, AS AMENDED, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
Status: Substituted by HB06403

The doctor-solon said that one step in deterring medical abuses is by enacting a law such as House Bill 6403 or
the Physicians Act.
To note, it was Garin who filed the Bill in the House of Representatives and was approved last week on second
reading.
“The Medical Act of 1959 is the only law governing the practice of medicine and sad to say, it has become
obsolete. Needs and problems on medical care have obviously evolved. The fact that non-specialists are
performing liposuction surgery without the supposedly required residency training increases the risk of botched
procedures,” the lady solon added pointing out the urgency of the Physician's Act.
Additional grounds to revoke the license of a medical professional are included in the current Bill. The changes
were incorporated in the proposed Physicians’ Act as opposed to the only three grounds stated in the Medical Act
of 1959. Included now is addiction to any habit-forming drug as a ground as it stipulates mandatory membership
in the Philippine Medical Association (PMA) as governing body in the practice of medicine, both in the general
field and the specialty field here in the country.
Garin emphasized that, “The number one unspoken rule in the medical profession is to ‘Do No Harm’. The
proposed Physicians’ Act seeks to further strengthen that rule as it provides precise regulations needed to
effectively go after violators and prosecute them. The proposed measure further professionalizes the medical
profession”.
