Share TweetBy Aaron RecuencoDefense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana vowed Saturday to expand the medical benefits of the retired soldiers that include more free medicines and even a veteran’s ward in some of the government hospitals. Lorenzana said the veterans’ main hospital for instance, the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC), is already replete with funds following the declaration of President Duterte to give P50 million every month to the hospital in Quezon City. They will be given medicines,” Lorenzana said during the 77th Veterans Federation of the Philippines Supreme Council Meeting held in Quezon City. But the medical benefits plans are not only limited to those seeking medical intervention at the VMMC but also includes those who live in the provinces.
