Ang ceremonial signing ay opisyal na binuksan ng pagbati ni Dr. Josephus Sibal, Head of Ancillary Services ng OFW Hospital na sinundan ng mensahe mula kay Mr. Henry Almanon, Acting Vice President ng PhilHealth Regional Office 3. Ipinahayag ni VP Almanon ang kanyang pagbati sa OFW Hospital bilang isa sa mga kauna-unahang ospital na accredited PhilHealth YAKAP provider at tiniyak na patuloy na makikipagtulungan ang PhilHealth para sa serbisyong medikal na abot-kaya at de-kalidad. Ipinaliwanag naman sa isang overview presentation ni Ms. Elizabeth Capuli, PhilHealth LHIO Head ang saklaw ng PhilHealth YAKAP.

Ano ang PhilHealth YAKAP?
Ang PhilHealth YAKAP (para malayo sa sakit) ay bagong mukha ng dating PhilHealth Konsulta. Bukas ito para sa lahat ng PhilHealth members at kanilang dependents.

Ito ang mga benepisyo ng PhilHealth YAKAP:
✅ Regular na Check-up
✅ Laboratoryo kung kinakailangan
✅ Mas pinalawak na 54 + 21 gamot
✅ Cancer Screening Tests tulad ng:
• Breast Ultrasound
• Low-dose Chest CT Scan
• Alpha Fetoprotein
• Liver Ultrasound

Ibinahagi rin ni Dr. Sheryan R. Dela Peña, Head ng Benefit Administration Section A ng PhilHealth RO3, ang bagong Outpatient Essential Emergency Benefit kung saan saklaw na ng PhilHealth ang gastusin mula sa ambulance transport hanggang sa pagdating sa emergency facility.

Nagtapos ang programa sa mensahe ni Dr. Rowena S. Zabat-San Mateo, Acting Branch Manager ng PhilHealth RO3, na nagbigay-diin na malaking hamon at responsibilidad ito sa OFW Hospital dahil tatanggap na rin ito ng mga pasyenteng non-OFWs na registered Philhealth members. Tugon naman ni Dr. Patrick Louie C. Maglaya, Acting Medical Center Chief ng OFW Hospital na handa ang ospital sa malaking hamon na ito na makapagsilbi sa lahat.

Nagpasalamat din si Dir. Redina Manlapaz ng OWWA Regional Office 3 sa PhilHealth at OFW Hospital para sa pagtutulungan tungo sa mas malawak na serbisyong pangkalusugan para sa ating mga OFW at pati na rin sa kanilang mga pamilya.

Isang makabuluhang hakbang ito tungo sa mas malawak at mas maaasahang serbisyong medikal para sa lahat!

***Ang YAKAP Clinic ay bukas tuwing Sabado at by appointment lamang. Magchat sa aming opisyal na Messenger account para matulungan namin kayo sa pagbook ng appointment.

Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and their families are assured of affordable and quality medicines and health care services following the partnership between the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) and the Philippine Pharma Procurement, Inc. (PPPI).
DMW Secretary Hans Leo J. Cacdac and PPPI President and CEO Maria Blanca Kim B. Lokin signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that paves the way for healthcare access by the OFWs and their families under the “Botika at Bakuna para sa Mamamayan” initiative, formerly known as Botika ng Bayan.

“Primary healthcare and reliable delivery of health services are at the heart of our commitment to OFWs and their dependents. This partnership addresses long-requested services and complements the continuing upgrade of our OFW Hospital, which aims to add advanced facilities such as MRI and mammogram units to achieve Level II hospital status,” said Secretary Cacdac.

Part of the collaboration is the establishment of mini-botikas or small pharmacies, which will start with pilot outlets in Makati that will eventually expand into the BBM Pharmacy Program. These will be operated through OFW cooperatives or franchises to serve as both healthcare access point and sustainable livelihood opportunity for migrant workers and their families.

“All medicines are legitimate and, most importantly, affordable. That is our mandate and our commitment together with the DMW,” PPPI President Lokin assured.

Also, under the agreement, 70% of procurement of medicines and medical supplies will be handled by PPPI, while the OFW Hospital will focus on provision of health services.
The full establishment of BBM Pharmacies is also targeted by May 2026 under the phase 2 of the partnership.

Also, future projects under the collaboration include the establishment of a medical waste reduction facility at the OFW Hospital, which is projected to cut waste by 80% and support environmental sustainability.
Dr. Goldwin Z. Posadas, Head of Ancillary Services at the OFW Hospital, meanwhile, noted that the partnership aligns with the government’s efforts under Bagong Pilipinas to integrate health, livelihood, and logistics support for OFWs.

The partnership also involves market sampling and study activities beginning September 12, ahead of a Health Forum in October to be held in partnership with The Manila Times.

“This is not just about medicines and medical equipment supply,” Lokin added. “We are committed to bringing pharmacies even to far-flung areas so that OFW families can benefit directly.”

The collaboration between the DMW, PPPI, and the OFW Hospital represents another concrete step toward accessible healthcare, livelihood support, and sustainable services for OFWs and their loved ones, as directed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to ensuring the holistic welfare of OFWs and their families.

𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 2025

Every year, the month of August is observed as Lung Month in the Philippines, highlighting the importance of lung health and the prevention of respiratory diseases. This celebration aims to raise awareness about common lung conditions, promote healthy lifestyles, and empower communities to take proactive steps in caring for their respiratory well-being.
For 2025, the OFW Hospital Respiratory Therapy Unit celebrates Lung Month with the theme:
“𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬”

This theme emphasizes that good lung health knows no boundaries—it is essential for everyone, whether here at home or abroad. It also reflects our commitment to provide respiratory care and education that extends beyond limits, ensuring our OFWs and their families have access to the knowledge and services they need to stay healthy.

The celebration includes:
Lay Forum (10:00 AM) – An informative session designed to educate patients, families, and the community about respiratory health, preventive measures, and management of lung diseases.
Zumbaga & Fun Booths (2:00 PM) – A wellness and engagement activity to promote physical activity, enjoyment, and community involvement in sustaining lung health.

By combining education, advocacy, and fun, Lung Month 2025 reminds us that breathing is life—and protecting our lungs is protecting our future.

Today, we remember the late Susan “Toots” Ople — a true champion of overseas Filipino workers.

As the first full-fledged Secretary of the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) appointed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., she dedicated her life to protecting and uplifting the lives of OFWs and their families.

Her vision also helped bring the OFW Hospital closer to reality, a lasting legacy of care and compassion for our modern-day heroes.

May her memory continue to inspire us to serve with heart, humility, and purpose.

The AVF (Arteriovenous Fistula) Mission is taking place today, August 18, at the OFW Hospital in collaboration with the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI). Present at the event are NKTI Executive Director Dr. Jose Dante P. Dator, together with DMW key officials ASEC Violeta D. Illescas and DMW Region 3 Regional Director Atty. Marion S. Sevilla.

The AVF procedure is a minor surgical operation that connects an artery to a vein, usually in the arm, to create a reliable access point for hemodialysis treatment. It is considered the gold standard for dialysis patients because it provides better blood flow, lasts longer than other access options, and lowers the risk of infection.

Through this mission, OFW Hospital and NKTI reaffirm their shared commitment to improving access to quality kidney care for our Overseas Filipino Workers and their families.
