Since the enactment of the Universal Health Care Act in 2019, the country has made significant strides, including the rollout of PhilHealth’s outpatient package, the Konsultasyong Sulit at Tama (Konsulta) program.
Unilab Center for Health Policy Leads Multisectoral Discussions to Strengthen PhilHealth’s Konsulta Implementation
To take the lead in addressing these gaps and support PhilHealth in expanding the implementation of Konsulta, the Unilab Center for Health Policy of the Unilab Foundation convened over 70 stakeholders from PhilHealth, NCR city health offices, private providers, and patient groups on September 13 in a roundtable discussion titled “Working Towards UHC’s Comprehensive Outpatient Benefit Package.
Launched nationwide in 2020, Konsulta aims to enhance health by preventing chronic illnesses, promoting early detection, and offering affordable medications. Through Konsulta, Filipinos can register with accredited providers to access a range of services including consultations, health risk screenings, 15 laboratory tests, and 21 essential medicines.
“The Unilab Center for Health Policy believes in PhilHealth’s Konsulta, which is why, when it was launched, one of UCHP’s first priority projects was to develop the Manual of Operations for the Konsulta package,” stated UCHP Program Director Ruben Basa.
