What is Healthcare in the Phillippines?
'''Healthcare in the Philippines''' is provided by the national and local governments, but people mostly have to pay for themselves. The '''Philippine Health Insurance Corporation''' was started in 1995 to set up to change this. It is a tax-exempt, government-owned and controlled corporation of the Philippines. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Philippine Health Insurance Corporation|url=https://www.philhealth.gov.ph/www.philhealth.gov.ph|access-date=2023-06-10|website=www.philhealth.gov.ph|language=en-US|archive-date=2023-06-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230610171705/https://www.philhealth.gov.ph/www.philhealth.gov.ph|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2023 many people are still not covered, and especially on the smaller islands, access to healthcare is very difficult.<ref>{{Cite news|date=2023-06-09|title=Agutaya archipelago doctor who cared for 13,000 people on her own|language=en-GB|work=BBC News|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-64948453|access-date=2023-06-10}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Philippines]] [[Category:Healthcare by country|Phil]]
