PhilHealth extends coverage to MILF fighters

STATE-run health insurance firm Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) on Friday said a total of 11,000 members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will be assured of health services as part of peace dividends.

Lawyer Alexander Padilla, PhilHealth president and chief executive officer, said the government will fully subsidize the premium contributions of returning MILF fighters.
