One of the major thrusts of the Barcelona Administration is to provide the less privileged segment of the population with an improved and efficient basic social and health services. Part of which is the Philhealth coverage of indigent families based on strict Department of Health Standards and accreditation. Proud to say, we have enrolled as much as 8,000 deeply impoverished Escalantehanon for the Philhealth ng Masa accreditation.
SGB's scheme on enrolling more indigents were strongly criticized by the present administration because of allegedly obliging our beneficiaries to have there 50% share on its annual renewal, that is Php300. A blatant truth, every enrollee should have Php600 premium share from our Local Government Unit. But since our LGU has only limited resources for the indigent enrollment, Hon. Barcelona thru the LGU's Technical working group designed the PISO-PISO ADLAW-ADLAW scheme for the objective of reaching out more indigents. In fact, the said scheme was chosen as one of the DOH Best Practices 2005-2009 (see attached images above). Proudly, it was Escalante City's innovative strategy that served as a DOH model and could be replicated by other LGUs.
With your stand, we can help more and more of indigent Escalantehanon relatives and friends by allowing Hon. Santiago G. Barcelona (SGB) to have 100% Philhealth accreditation. His administration aims to attain an almost 100% coverage of PHILHEALTH by all households in Escalante.
We target to enroll 10,000 households under the PHILHEALTH SA MAHIRAP PROGRAM within his term of office; The remaining households shall be covered by their existing employment in the private and public sectors.
We have done it before, and with God's Divine Guidance, we can help more Escalantehanon's in the future!
Support Solidarity. Support Good Governance. All these for a Brighter Escalante!
