Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) has officially opened its San Fernando Local Health Insurance Office (LHIO) to serve its members and stakeholders.
Acting Vice President of PhilHealth Region 3, Henry Almanon, led the inauguration of the LHIO at CyberHaus Property Holdings, Inc. Building along McArthur Highway in Barangay San Agustin, together with the officials of the agency.
Almanon emphasized the significant function of the recently established office in providing support and education to the public about the Philippine government’s Universal Health Care program.
City Mayor Vima Balle-Caluag, through a video message, imparted her regards to the PhilHealth community, thanking the office for its steadfast service in providing support to the health initiatives of the City Government and being its strong partner in delivering health insurance to the Fernandino constituency.
As the San Fernando LHIO moved to its new headquarters, another move was made during the activity—the ceremonial signing of a partnership—that will benefit select Fernandino members of the transport and vendors’ sectors as the agency plans to register them and provide them with free PhilHealth coverage.
PhilHealth is partnering with the City of San Fernando City Pampanga Federation of PUV Transport Services, Inc. (Jeepney Federation), the Pampanga Fernandino United Merchants and Traders Association, Inc., and the New Public Market Vendors and Traders Association, Inc.
Department of Health Central Luzon Center for Health Development Director Dr. Corazon Flores and City Councilor Dr. Ayzel Mari-Grace Macalino attended the event.
