PhilHealth President & CEO Dr. Eduardo P. Banzon
delivered a nation-wide educational campaign called PhilHealth SHInES: Social
Health Insurance Educational Series last November 26, 2012 at Asian Institute
of Management (AIM). The said campaign was simultaneously broadcasted with the
six (6) Knowledge for Development Centers (KDCs) across the country via
videoconference.
The participants from SPUP-KDC composed of administrators,
faculty members, staff and maintenance personnel were further enlightened
regarding the new policies as Mr. Buddy De Jesus, the Press Relation Officer of
PhilHealth Regional Office 02, entertained their enquiries. Mr. Ronaldo Sumait, Knowledge Facilitator of the SPUP-KDC served as local organizer of the videoconference.
Dr. Banzon emphasized the philosophy behind social health
insurance – social solidarity and equity.
Through PhilHealth SHInES: all sectors are provided with the knowledge
and understanding of social health insurance.
It is hoped that through the SHInES, all Filipinos will now participate
in the National Health Insurance Program in a well-informed and responsive
manner.
The Philippine Health
Insurance Corporation together with the Department of Health, envisions the
country to attain Universal Health Care (UHC) or Kalusugang Pangkalahatan
(KP). Through the National Health
Insurance Program (NHIP), PhilHealth seeks to provide financial risk protection
to all Filipinos and ensure that no Filipino will be afraid of getting sick.
