The Red Cross
Boracay was asked to also delve into the private clinics in the island.
This followed
after some reports regarding the costly amount that some private clinics are
charging for the patients’ use of the ambulance.
Because of this,
the Municipal Council queried Malay-Boracay Red Cross Administrator Marlo Schoenenberger
during the council’s 8th Regular Session where he presented a report
of their accomplishments for 2012.
For having supervision
over one of the ambulances in Boracay, Schoenenberger clarified that private
clinics indeed are requiring Ambulance Fees.
On the use of
the Red Cross Ambulance however, he explained that they have a fix rate of Php1500
charge for tourist patients who has travel insurance.
On the other
hand, if the emergency vehicle is being needed by a Boracaynon, they are
requiring no fees.
Nonetheless, SB
Member Jonathan Cabrera requested Schoenenberger to monitor the clinics in the island
if they are charging a justifiable amount in every service of the Red Cross
Ambulance.
SB Member Rowen
Aguirre, also previously expressed disappointment of why some clinics and or
infirmaries in Malay and Boracay still doesn't have their own ambulances.
