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.
