According to Jonathan Andal’s report on “24 Oras,” the insurance packages were proposed by PhilHealth and researchers from the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development.
“Mako-cover ng package even from the time na sumakit ang dibdib dadalhin sa ospital na maliit hanggang ma-transfer sa malaking hospital para makareceive ng treatment including the ambulance transport. And then siyempre ‘pag nakarating na roon sa mas malaking ospital, angioplasty o yung pampatunaw ng blood clot yung thrombolytic therapy hanggang sa rehabilitation,” Dr. Eric Oliver Sison of the Philippine Society for Cardiovascular Catherization said.
The institution also asked the Department of Health to have additional medicine for mental health patients, as well as the variant of drug they can acquire. “Depression or bipolar or schizophrenia so covered silang lahat, kasama na rin dito ang epilepsy, dementia. 'Di ibig sabihin kailangan nasa mental hospital or facility pero pwede rin sa bahay,” Dr. Lester Sam Geroy of the Alliance for Improving Health Outcomes said.PhilHealth will cover the rehabilitation session, doctor’s consultation, medicine such as painkillers and diagnostics, braces, and prosthetics.
