During his speech at the 27th National General Assembly of Midwives in Pasay City, Sen. JV Ejercito announced that he filed a measure aimed at providing job security to midwives who have been working in the healthcare sector for decades. He underscored the essential role midwives play in the implementation of the Universal Health Care (UHC) act, describing them as critical to achieving the program's goals.
