Economically-disadvantaged patients of the Mandaue City Hospital will now receive greater support after a P10-million fund was turned over to the facility.

The fund, part of the Medical Assistance to Indigent and Financially-Incapacitated Patients Program (MAIFPP), was handed over to hospital chief Dr. Ligaya Lakambini Dargantes.

Dargantes said the MAIFPP will help patients settle hospital bills, especially amounts not covered by PhilHealth.

“Inig discharge sa patients, naa na silay PhilHealth coverage, ang per case naa na siyay kantidad. So for example, kani nga case kay P20,000 ra ang ma-cover ni PhilHealth but then the bill is about P50,000, so ang nakanindot ni MAIFPP pwede ni siya maka-cover sa katong extra nga dili na masagot ni PhilHealth. Mao nay purpose ni MAIFPP,” she explained.

She added that the hospital has also been using MAIFPP to support Outpatient Department patients.
