In a significant victory for Filipinos, Cong. Wilbert “Manoy” T. Lee of Agri Party-List has succeeded in his persistent push to increase PhilHealth benefits, reducing the hospital expenses of millions. The Department of Health (DOH) has committed to boosting PhilHealth’s spending from P140 billion to P250 billion for FY 2025, marking a major step forward for affordable healthcare. He likewise secured commitment for a 50% across-the-board increase in PhilHealth benefits, inclusion of costly diagnostic tests such as PET Scan, CT Scan, and MRI and eye care in the benefit packages, and increasing coverage of chemotherapy and heart procedures to 80%, among others.
“Natutuwa po tayo na matapos ang mahigit na ilang dekada ng paghihintay, nakuha natin ang pangakong ito. Di natin ito titigilan hanggang sa maisakatuparan ito! “ Lee said, highlighting the long battle to achieve more accessible medical services for every Filipino.
