PhilHealth Sabado in NorMin set on June 25

At least 16 public schools in Northern Mindanao have been designated by the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth), region 10, as registration sites for the 2nd nationwide PhilHealth Registration Day on Saturday, June 25.

These public schools will serve as venues to accommodate new enrollees in the region and educate them, as well as existing members, about the medical care benefits under the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP).

The following schools in region 10 have been designated as NPRD of PhilHealth Sabado II sites:
Cagayan de Oro Service Office - City Central School, Velez St., South City Central School (CES), Nazareth, West CES, Carmen and East City CES, Lapsan.

Iligan Service Office - Iligan City CES and Iligan City North CES, Maigo CES and Lanao National High School in Baroy.

Ozamiz City Service Office – Ozamiz City Central School (CCS), Tangub CCS and Oroquieta CCS and Gingoog City Service Office – Lunao Elementary School.

Bukidnon Service Office – Manolo CES, Valencia CES, Malaybalay City CES and Maramag CES.
This massive registration dubbed as “PhilHealth Sabado, Magseguro, Magparehistro,” is an advocacy activity that aims to bring into the NHIP new registrants and ensure that all Filipinos have access to quality healthcare services through a universal healthcare coverage.

The 1st Philhealth Sabado was launched on October 2, 2010, in response to the order of President Benigno Simeon Aquino III during his first State of the Nation Address that all Filipinos should have universal health insurance coverage by 2013.

This time, it targets to enroll parents and family members of public school students who are not yet members of the health insurance program. (PIA-10)
