菲律宾总统小费迪南德·马科斯（Ferdinand Marcos Jr.）宣布，国营机构PhilHealth将从4月30日（周四）起推出范围更广、金额更高的生育福利，以应对与怀孕相关的高额医疗费用。此举旨在防止家庭因经济困难而推迟或放弃必要的医疗护理。
在4月29日（周三）发布的一段视频信息中，小费迪南德·马科斯总统强调，许多母亲因无力负担费用而选择在没有医疗协助的情况下分娩。
他说：“许多母亲在分娩时没有医生在场，不是因为她们不需要适当的护理，而是因为她们负担不起费用。这正是我们要改变的地方。”
新的福利将正常分娩的保险覆盖范围从此前的9,750比索提高至29,000比索。剖腹产的覆盖范围则从37,000比索提高至58,000比索至62,000比索之间。总统指出，即便是在私立医院，住院部病房的患者也有望实现零自付费用。
该方案还将产前检查从4次增加到8次，包括疫苗接种和实验室检查，并增加了3次产后随访。
马科斯补充道：“我们不希望任何人的生命仅仅因为缺乏资金而面临风险。”
这些改进预计将使更多菲律宾家庭受益，并降低因产前护理不足带来的风险，特别是对于那些经济拮据的家庭而言。
