PhilHealth summit successful

OROQUIETA CITY – A huge number of people flocked to the Philippine Health Insurance Summit and Konsulta member registration in Oroquieta and Ozamiz cities as the two local governments and PhilHealth launched the event recently.

PhilHealth Konsultasyong Sulit Tama (Konsulta) is a comprehensive outpatient benefits as mandated by the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law which ensures that all Filipinos are guaranteed equitable access to quality and affordable health care goods and services, and protected against financial risks.

PhilHealth’s expanded and responsive healthcare commitment is in pursuit of the UHC Law, which aims to provide every Filipino equal access to quality health services focusing more on preventive rather than curative care.

Focusing more on preventive rather than curative care as mandated by the UHC Law, the Ozamiz City in partnership with the City Government of Oroquieta, held the summit and Konsulta member registration.

Oroquieta Mayor Lemuel Meyrick Acosta also urged employees to help the local government and, at the same time, use the benefits from PhilHealth. “Instead of giving kini atong packages, especially for manual checkups, to other service providers, atong ihatag sa City Health Office nato para mukita and atong city health laboratory, makapalit ta og bag-o ug moderno nga ekipo kay kini atong laboratory will not only serve our employees in the local government unit, but it will also serve the senior citizens in the city,” Acosta said.

During the PhilHealth Summit and Konsulta member registration, PhilHealth Accreditation and Quality Assurance Officer Dr. Francis Ramos discussed the importance of universal health care and the primary care benefit package that the public may enjoy and experience. “Importante ang Konsulta program kay i-support nato ang first client of health care which is in-demand karon sa atong country which is typical and regular consult so gusto namo tanang tao nga makahibalo na ang consult doesn't need to be a financial burden sa inyoha because it can now covered sa konsulta,” he said.

Local Health Insurance Office-Ozamiz City Chief Fetzi Gomilla said the summit and Konsulta member registration highlighted PhilHealth’s programs, benefits packages, and services in the context of UHC Law. (Shaine Mae Nagtalon)
