News Update Lanao Sur Pushes Philhealth Listing

MARAWI CITY (PIA) - The head of the Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO) is encouraging Lanao del Sur residents to go out and take advantage of the government's universal health program to secure their healthcare needs. "I'm calling all our constituents, especially non-members, to visit designated registration desks on Saturday, October 2, and avail of this opportunity to be registered with the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), stressed Dr. Alinader Minalang. He is encouraging those employed but have not yet enrolled in the program as well as those who have not renewed their membership to go to the registration desks at the PhilHealth Marawi Service Office and Amai Pakpak Central Elementary School, this city.

For constituents outside this city, designated registration desks can be found at the Malabang National High School and Wao District Hospital, he added. The IPHO chief is also inviting financially-challenged individuals not included in the list of indigents identified by Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to go to the designated service desks and fill-up the registration forms so that their registration can be validated by the DSWD and PhilHealth.
