gloriya arroyo administration in health
Answer:
President Arroyo formally launchedthe P3-billion universal health insurance coverage that would provide either free or subsidized hospitalization and other medical assistance to government and private sector employees and indigent families.
Mrs. Arroyo provided the funding for the program under Executive Order No. 276, which she issued to finance the government-subsidized universal healthier insurance coverage of all Filipinos.
The President announced this issuance of EO 276 in her speech yesterday at the formal launching of the PhilHealth Universal Insurance Coverage at the first national convention of the Philippine Social Security Association (PILSSA) at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) on Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City.
"For the head of the family, one day of sickness is one day without food for the family," the President said. "The objective of the ordinary Filipino is health, so I signed EO 276."
The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) replaced the Medicare system and was created under the National Health Insurance Act of 1995.
