PhilHealth Boosts Malaria Care Coverage: A Step Towards a Malaria-Free Philippines
In line with President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.'s directive, the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) has taken a significant step towards combating malaria by expanding its outpatient coverage for the disease. This move supports the renewed global campaign to end malaria, which affects millions of people worldwide. With this expansion, more Filipinos will have access to quality malaria care and treatment, reducing the risk of complications and deaths. The enhanced coverage is expected to contribute to the country's efforts in achieving a malaria-free status, in line with the World Health Organization's (WHO) goals. By improving healthcare services and increasing access to malaria treatment, PhilHealth is helping to alleviate the burden of the disease on communities. This development is a positive step towards a healthier Philippines, with popular health insurance and medical care services playing a crucial role in the fight against malaria.
