Pasig, 01 June 2026 — 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 (UNFPA) in the Philippines, the UN’s sexual and reproductive health agency, and the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) ink a partnership to improve maternal health, family planning, and access for millions of Filipino women and families.

This major agreement comes right after PhilHealth expanded its maternity benefit packages in April, which now covers the recommended number of prenatal and postnatal check-ups and almost tripled the coverage for normal and cesarean births, showing a strong commitment to better health for women, adolescents and indigent Filipinos.

The agreement sets a long-term plan for both UNFPA and PhilHealth combining their expertise to support the realization of 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗮𝘄 (𝗥𝗣𝗥𝗛), 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 (𝗨𝗛𝗖), and the 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟯𝟬, focusing on reducing maternal mortality, improving access to sexual reproductive health, including family planning through smart investments and innovative solutions.

"The PhilHealth is an indispensable partner for making universal healthcare a reality in the country," says 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘂, 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲.

“This partnership is about expanding access to quality care, supporting healthier communities, and securing the lifelong wellbeing of every Filipino family. It is more than just reducing out-of-pocket costs, it’s for a life-saving cause," she adds.

𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿, 𝗗𝗿. 𝗘𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗠. 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗼, emphasizes the corporation's dedication to making healthcare easier to access for every Filipino, particularly those who need it most.

"Our ultimate goal is to remove costs and financial barriers, within reach, for every Filipino," Dr. Mercado states.

“Through this partnership with UNFPA, and alongside our expanded maternity benefits, we are making healthcare more inclusive so that financial hardship never stops a mother from getting proper medical care."

𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗣𝗔 𝗔𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿, 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗸𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿 "𝗦𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮" 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗼𝘇𝗮, witnessed the signing ceremony and congratulated the Philippines for its landmark achievement, acknowledging that it is a powerful example in the region of how working together can turn good policies into a life-saving reality on the ground.

Under this renewed partnership, UNFPA and PhilHealth work together to ensure health policies actually reach patients and benefit communities. The agencies will strengthen ties with healthcare providers and local government units (LGUs) to encourage effective and smart investment of local funds into sustainable health programs.

At the same time, the agencies are designing more affordable health packages to make maternal care easier to access, while integrating family planning and counseling into training programs for health workers. This partnership is a major step forward in protecting the health, dignity, and rights of Filipino women, moving the country toward a fairer future.

Through this engagement, we aim to strengthen coordination among all concerned parties and identify appropriate actions toward the efficient resolution of the matter.
