PIA-6 PHOTO ILOILO — Western Visayas has moved closer to universal health coverage, with 96.74 percent of its population now registered under the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) as of November 30, 2025, regional officials announced. The milestone translates to 7,830,132 registered members and dependents across the region, reflecting intensified enrollment drives and sustained public awareness campaigns aimed at expanding access to essential healthcare services. Acting Regional Vice President Lazaro Tabsing disclosed the latest figures, noting that the enrollment surge underscores Western Visayas’ strong compliance with the national government’s push for comprehensive health insurance coverage. Negros Occidental recorded the highest number of enrollees with 3,114,561 members, followed by Iloilo with 2,541,317. Capiz registered 790,523 members, while Antique posted 600,353, Aklan 598,559, and Guimaras 184,819. Tabsing emphasized that PhilHealth membership remains crucial, particularly for those who have yet to register. “By registering, you are taking a vital step toward ensuring your and your family’s health and well-being,” Tabsing said, urging residents to visit the nearest PhilHealth office to avail themselves of services such as hospitalization coverage, outpatient care, maternity benefits, and other medical packages. The region also now has 751 PhilHealth-accredited healthcare institutions and 3,277 accredited healthcare professionals, covering Level 1 to Level 3 hospitals, infirmaries, and clinics. Officials reminded members to seek services only from accredited facilities to guarantee coverage and quality care. Regional health authorities said the sustained enrollment growth aligns with the government’s broader strategy to ensure that nearly all residents in Western Visayas are financially protected from high medical costs — a key step toward strengthening public health security in the region./PN Citation Citation of the article Galigao, N.
