PHILHEALTH

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Phil Health ) aims to

create universal health coverage for the Philippines. It is a tax-exempt,

government-owned and government-controlled corporation (GOCC) of the

Philippines, and is attached to the Department of Health. It states its goal as

insuring a sustainable national health insurance program for all. [ 1 ] In 2010, it

claimed to have achieved "universal" coverage with 86% of the population,

although the 2008 National Demographic Health Survey showed that only 38

percent of respondents were aware of at least one household member being

enrolled in Phil Health. Nevertheless, this social insurance program provides

a means for the healthy to pay for the care of the sick and for those who can

afford medical care to subsidize those who cannot. Both local and national

government allocate funds to subsidize the indigent.
