Department of Health (DoH) Secretary Ted Herbosa and five other officials are facing multiple corruption complaints before the Office of the Ombudsman. The allegations center on the questionable allocation of P44.6 million worth of government-procured mental health drugs to the Rotary Club of Quezon City. The complaints were filed by concerned DoH personnel and healthcare governance advocates.
The core of the issue involves regulated and prescription-only psychiatric medications that were reportedly nearing their expiry dates. The complainants allege serious concerns, including misuse of public property, concealment of over-procurement, inventory mismanagement, circumvention of government disposal protocols, and violations of pharmaceutical and anti-graft laws.
