THE Private Sector Advisory Council (PSAC) Healthcare Sector welcomed the continued progress of PhilHealth's YAKAP Program and related healthcare reforms aimed at reducing the financial burden on Filipino families, following the 10th Meeting of the PSAC Healthcare Sector held at Malacañan Palace on May 13, 2026.
During the meeting, the PSAC Healthcare Sector reviewed the gains achieved under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s healthcare agenda, particularly stronger PhilHealth support, faster reimbursements, broader patient coverage, and expanded access to medicines through the YAKAP and GAMOT programs. What is important is that healthcare reforms are felt by Filipinos in practical ways, and the stronger PhilHealth support, faster reimbursements, broader coverage, and expanded access to medicines through the GAMOT and YAKAP programs are helping reduce the financial burden on Filipino families, and the private sector remains fully committed to supporting the government in achieving these goals
