The PhilHealth Benefits Development Planning Protocol has been awarded the 'Continuous Improvement Recognition' during the recently concluded 41st Asean Social Security Association (ASSA) meetings. The Benefits Development Planning Protocol was acknowledged for its significant contributions and transformative impact in ensuring that PhilHealth benefit packages are equitably designed and developed, while also providing responsive benefits that translate to adequate financial protection to members against health risks. PhilHealth has expressed gratitude to ASSA for this recognition and reaffirmed its commitment to continuously improve health care benefits for all Filipinos, both domestically and internationally, in fulfillment of the objective of the Universal Health Care Law. The annual ASSA Board Meeting serves as a platform for member institutions and experts from regional and international organizations to share insights, experiences and updates on social security matters. This collaborative effort aims to strengthen the social security network and enhance social security management and services in its member countries, including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
