Philhealth releases P500 M as partial payment to PH Red Cross - Manila Bulletin

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation announced that it already released P500 million as partial payment to its debt to the Philippine Red Cross .

It also made an assurance to pay the laboratories that were tasked to assist on the testing requirements of overseas Filipino workers and other returning Filipinos, which were originally assigned to the PRC. PhiHealth President and Chief Executive Officer Dante Gierran said that the agency “takes exception to the insinuation that it is reckless and is playing on people’s lives.”

Last October 15, the PRC stopped conducting COVID-19 tests funded by PhilHealth due to the latter’s more than P930 million debt.
