健康团体推动PhilHealth资金增加和MAIFIP逐步淘汰,DOH拒绝后

在卫生部拒绝将MAIFIP资金转向PhilHealth后,由反COVID-19医疗专业人士联盟领导的68个健康专业团体敦促马科斯总统和国会充分资助Philippine Health Insurance Corp.,并逐步淘汰卫生部的“贫困和经济困难患者医疗援助”计划。

在昨天发布的一份声明中,正值2026年预算辩论进行之际——卫生部长Teodoro Herbosa因支付延误拒绝将MAIFIP的510亿比索拨款重定向至PhilHealth——该国的医学协会呼吁加强PhilHealth资金支持,同时逐步减少对MAIFIP的依赖。“政府应超越更大健康福利的承诺,确保充足资金来履行这些承诺,”这些团体表示。

众议院法案4058的双院会议委员会批准了697.8亿比索用于穷人的PhilHealth保费(增加165.2亿比索),但这不足以满足《全民健康覆盖法》对2450万间接贡献者保费全额补贴的要求,PhilHealth总计至少需要1470亿比索。

这些团体在承认MAIFIP扩展至120万菲律宾人的同时,强调不应削弱2450万贫困人口的保险保障。他们批评MAIFIP从基于权利的系统转向依赖个人酌情的系统,侵蚀了UHC在成本效益、可负担性和公平性方面的保障。

签署团体包括Philippine Medical Association、Philippine College of Physicians、Philippine College of Surgeons、Philippine Association of Medical Technologists、Philippine Society of Medical Oncology、私立医院协会菲律宾分会等。
