MPs (Magsaysay People) from Magsaysay Shipping and Logistics (MSL) were among the first to experience PhilHealth’s enhanced benefits through the pilot run of the Yaman ng Kalusugan Program (YAKAP). Launched in partnership with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and MAGSAYSAY at the Times Plaza Building on September 16–17, YAKAP aims to help Filipinos take care of their health at lower to no cost.
During the launch, MPs had access to:
- Free medical consultations
- Laboratory and diagnostic tests
- Health profile assessments
- PhilHealth registration and processing
- Prescribed medicines
PhilHealth representatives provided a comprehensive overview of the program, discussing the various benefits that all PhilHealth members and dependents can avail themselves of once registered to the program, including:
- Free consultations at accredited YAKAP clinics,
- Laboratory and diagnostic services for early disease detection,
- Expanded GAMOT package covering 75 essential medicines worth up to ₱20,000 annually per member,
- Preventive cancer screening services, and
- Zero-balance billing through accredited facilities.
While MSL MPs took part in the initial rollout, the program is open to all PhilHealth members.
The launch of YAKAP at Magsaysay showed the company’s dedication to caring for its employees’ health and reducing medical costs. With the help of PhilHealth and DOLE, YAKAP gives every employee and their family peace of mind through healthcare that is easy to access, preventive, and truly protective.
