BP 702, enacted in April 5,1984 as amended by RA no.8344 has long provided that hospitals and medical clinics prohibited from refusing such emergency cases by first demanding deposits or advance payments. The intent of the law is to make the health care system inclusive ensure that immediate emergency treatment and care would always be available to a patient regardless of his economic stature. However, the steady infux of reports of cases to the contrary are evidence that not only are some hospitals and clinics violating this law but that the average Filipino is dangerously unaware of this law's existence and nuances.
