With this year’s theme for World Malaria Day, ‘Malaria Ends With Us: Reinvest, Reimagine, Reignite,’ the World Health Organization calls for a renewal of the global commitment to end malaria. In line with this, PhilHealth reaffirms the national commitment to eliminate malaria by 2030 through its benefits packages that cover services related to malaria. Earlier this year, PhilHealth increased its coverage for Diagnostic Malaria Smears; Rapid Diagnostic Test; Medicines (Artemether Lumefantrine); and Consultation, Patient Education, and Counseling from P780 to P1,170. Members can avail these benefits at 1,816 accredited facilities, including primary care facilities, outpatient malaria centers, and accredited Level 1, 2, and 3 hospitals. Additionally, coverage for malaria without complications is also provided at P5,460 at primary care facilities and P7,800 at hospitals. IMAGE FROM PHILHEALTH
