THE Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) has assured the country's elderly citizens of its continuing commitment to their health and well-being by ensuring adequate financial protection when availing of inpatient care and primary care benefits in accredited facilities nationwide.

The assurance was made as the country wraps up its observance for the Filipino elderly this October, which kicked off with activities that include the signing of a partnership agreement with the National Commission of Senior Citizens on the sharing of information and statistical data on membership and health status of senior citizens in the country.
