PhilHealth has always been committed to making a beneficial impact to Filipinos by providing health insurance packages responsive to the health care needs of the people. Dedicated in its efforts to raise the quality of life through accessible health care services, PhilHealth works hand- in-hand with stakeholders to make sure that access to proper health care can be provided to everyone, regardless of their status in life.
With this in mind, the Local Health Insurance Office Calamba, in collaboration with the Provincial Government of Laguna, recently teamed up to give PhilHealth coverage to identified indigent families from the 1st to 4th districts of Laguna.
Headed by Laguna Governor Ramil Hernandez and PhilHealth Regional Office IVA OIC-Regional Vice President Edwin Oriña, MD, the partnership made health insurance accessible to the identified beneficiaries of the province.
The two-day event was held in separate venues: at the Cultural Center in Sta. Cruz, Laguna and at the Hectan Bldg in Barangay Halang in Calamba City where members were provided with information on their PhilHealth coverage. The activity was also highlighted by the distribution of their Member Data Records (MDR) and a brief orientation on benefits and availment procedures.
Driven by a common goal, PhilHealth and the Province of Laguna showed that to make a difference in the lives of Filipinos, it is important that every citizen feels that he is part of the community so that he will be involved in making the country a better place for the next generation.
