Hi.Good morning everyone. I’m Irene of 10- Agoho.

Today our group will be discussing about the

Significance of Health- Related Laws in Safeguarding People’s Health. First ano nga ba muna ang:

REPUBLIC ACT NO.7394 OR CONSUMER ACT OF THE PHILIPPINES

 To achieve the objectives, the Act aims to protect people against hazards to health and safety,
and deceptive and unfair sales acts and practices. In this light, the policy mandates for information
dissemination and education to facilitate sound choice and proper exercise of rights by the consumer.

 The quality and safety of different products like food, drugs, cosmetics, and devices also
encompass the Consumer Act. The policy also promotes the protection of citizens against hazardous
substances that may be in the sale. Therefore, proper labeling and fair packaging are mandatory for all
the products being sold.-

 Aside from health information and products, health services also play an important role in
appraising and improving the well-being of a person. Health services, which are also covered under
the Consumer Act, are also availed by consumers. One form of health service is complementary and
alternative medicine.-

Ang Republic Act 7394 o mas kilala sa tawag na “PRICE TAG LAW”dito nakalahad ang mga karapatan
ng mga konsumer na maprotektahan laban sa pananamantala, gaano man kalaki o kaliit ang tindahan.
nakapailalim sa RA 7394 ang mga karapatan ng mga konsumer sa pagpapakumpuni, pagbalik, o pagre-
refund ng depektibong produkto.

Nilalayon ng batas na protektahan ang mga tao laban sa mga panganib sa kalusugan at kaligtasan, at
mapanlinlang at hindi patas na mga kilos at kasanayan sa pagbebenta. Sa ilalim nito, ipinag-uutos ang
patakaran para sa pagpapalaganap ng impormasyon at edukasyon upang mapabilis ang mahusay na
pagpili at wastong paggamit ng mga karapatan ng mamimili.

Ang kalidad at kaligtasan ng iba't ibang mga produkto tulad ng pagkain at gamot, pampaganda at
mga aparato ay sumasaklaw din sa Consumer Act. Itinataguyod din ng patakaran ang proteksyon ng
mga mamamayan laban sa mga mapanganib na sangkap na maaaring nasa pagbebenta.

Samakatuwid, ang wastong pag-label at patas na packaging ay sapilitan para sa lahat ng sapilitan
para sa lahat ng mga produktong ipinagbibili.

Ginampanan din nito ang isang mahalagang papel sa pagpapahalaga at pagpapabuti ng kagalingan
ng isang tao. ang mga serbisyong pangkalusugan, sa ilalim ng pagkilos ng mamimili, ay sinusuportahan
din ng mga mamimili. ang isang uri ng serbisyong pangkalusugan ay komplementaryo at alternatibong
