PhilHealth covers leptospirosis and dengue

Quick Summary:

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) has assured the public that it covers hospitalization due to leptospirosis and dengue, two common conditions affecting Filipinos during the rainy season.

On the other hand, the incidence of vector-borne diseases increases due to stagnant water that serves as breeding sites for mosquitoes.

Its dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic benefit packages are currently at P13,000 and P16,000, respectively while coverage for leptospirosis is at P14,300.
