WE WOULD LIKE TO CORRECT THE statement made about PhilHealth’s coverage in an advertorial by the Insular Life titled “Invest to manage the risk of adverse health.” (Inquirer, 7/1/10) The ad placed PhilHealth’s coverage at about a third or a little over 31 million of 94 million Filipinos.
We wish to inform Insular Life that PhilHealth has more than 20 million principal members from its five membership categories with close to 60 million qualified dependents at the end of 2009.
This translates to more than 80 million Filipinos now enjoying access to quality health care across the country, representing 86 percent of the entire population of 92 million, the projected population for 2009 according to the National Statistical Coordination Board. –Philippine Daily Inquirer
