Getting sick is really expensive not to mention the hospitalization cost that a patient may incur. If a patient doesn’t have insurance, there’s no other option but to shell out the amount from your own pocket.

Good thing is that the government created an agency that can help Filipinos to avail benefits in case of medical urgencies. PhilHealth offers medical assistance including outpatient and inpatient services in any accredited facilities.
