Universal healthcare in the Philippines may be gaining momentum through expanded PhilHealth benefits, but healthcare leaders say the path to affordable care extends far beyond the state insurer’s coverage packages.
Filipinos could see major changes in how healthcare is delivered and paid for over the next two years as the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) rolls out reforms aimed at strengthening primary care, expanding targeted benefits, and reshaping how hospitals are reimbursed.
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has partnered with Pretiolas Philippines Inc., operator of Auntie Anne’s in the country, to roll out BPI Salary On-Demand for its over 500 employees.
