Four hundred (400) more beneficiaries received Philhealth Indigent cards from the city government at the mini-program held at the lobby of Olongapo City Hall last July 22, 2009, led by Mayor James “Bong” Gordon, Jr.
Recipients of the said assistance and their qualified dependents will be able to use their cards in aid of healthcare expenses until the 15th of April 2010. Said distribution was the 4th part of the series of allocation for 2009 and one to many batches of allotment for the last years wherein thousands of families already benefitted.
“Thru the initiative of Mayor Gordon, the hospitalization expenses of the grantees and of their dependents in times of need will be less worrisome because of this healthcare insurance in coordination with James L. Gordon Memorial Hospital (JLGMH),’’ explained Lino Jose, in-charge of the city’s Philhealth Indigent project.
Meanwhile, the city government is set to grant more indigent cards to underprivileged individuals in the coming months.
