PhilHealth guarantees that not one Filipino is left behind

THE state health insurance agency Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) is leaving no stones unturned as it renews its commitment to providing all Filipinos with adequate financial access to health care. “The war on population coverage is already won, judging by the way health care is now accessed especially by the poor,” said PhilHealth’s new acting president and CEO Roy B. Ferrer. PhilHealth’s population coverage at the end of 2017 was at a staggering 97 million or 93% of the projected 2017 population of 104 million, but the government’s abiding support essentially ended all doubts about the program’s ability to reach all Filipinos far and wide.
