Capitol Medical Center (CMC) is now a contracted partner for PhilHealth’s Z-Benefit package for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedures.
Capitol Medical Center is the newest contracted facility for PhilHealth’s Z-Benefit Package for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft procedures.
A significant 18.4 percent of total mortality nationwide is caused by cardiovascular disease, making it one of the leading causes of death in 2023, according to the Department of Health. Statistics show that cardiovascular diseases are more prominent in males compared to females. The CABG procedure is an integral part of the care for high-mortality cardiovascular diseases, providing hope and opportunities for better quality of life. Research shows that people who undergo successful CABG procedures can have a remarkable 20-year survival rate. This procedure not only saves lives but also creates better quality and more productive lives.
Dr. Joselito Atabug, CMC Section Head for Cardiology, stewarded the Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Procedure in 2017 and is now grateful and honored that PhilHealth has granted CMC accreditation for the Z-Benefit package for CABG. He and his team promise to care for patients with utmost excellence.
