MANILA, (PIA) — In a bid to enhance healthcare programs for its residents, the Malabon City government has partnered with Cocolife Insurance to provide health insurance for its employees.
Mayor Jeannie Sandoval announced the initiative, emphasizing the importance of employee well-being in delivering public services.
“Alam nating mahalaga na mapangalagaan natin ang ating kalusugan, lalo na ngayong pabago-bago ang panahon at patuloy ang ating pagseserbisyo para sa ating mga mahal na Malabueño,” said Mayor Sandoval.
(We know that it is important to take care of our health, especially now that the weather is unpredictable and we continue to serve our beloved Malabueños.)
“Mahalaga ang papel na ginagampanan ng ating mga kawani sa ating layuning patuloy na pag-ahon ng lungsod. Kaya naman ating sinikap na maipatupad ang programang ito dahil prayoridad natin na masiguro ang kanilang kaligtasan at matulungan sila pagdating sa kanilang mga pangangailangang medikal,” she added.
(The role played by our employees is crucial to our goal of continuously uplifting the city. That is why we have worked hard to implement this program, as it is a priority for us to ensure their safety and assist them with their medical needs.)
Under the Cocolife Healthcare program, all permanent, coterminous, temporary, and seconded city government employees will be covered by a comprehensive health insurance plan.
Benefits include in-patient and out-patient care, emergency services, preventive care, annual physical examinations, life insurance, dental services, and more.
Each beneficiary can access a maximum benefit limit of P80,000 per disability, with medical procedures for pre-existing conditions covered up to 50 percent of that limit.
Beneficiaries will also receive life insurance, which provides P20,000 for natural death and P40,000 for accidental death.
The local government noted that this comprehensive healthcare program aims to ensure employees have access to medical services and treatment, ultimately reducing absenteeism and turnover rates.
Additionally, the Malabon City government has partnered with the Philippine Red Cross to offer accidental death, disablement, and dismemberment insurance, along with burial aid for casual and job order employees.
“Naniniwala tayo na mas magiging maganda ang pagbibigay ng mga serbisyo at programa kung ang ating mga kawani ay malusog, protektado, at makakasigurong makakatanggap ng tulong sa panahon na kinakailangan nila,” said City Administrator Dr. Alexander Rosete.
(We believe that the delivery of services and programs to our constituents will be better if our employees are healthy, protected, and assured that they will receive help when they need it.)
“Sa ating pagpapatuloy ng mga gawain tungo sa mas magandang Malabon, makakaasa kayong hindi pababayaan ng pamahalaang lungsod ang sinuman at patuloy tayong magsasagawa ng mga programang pangkalusugan para sa lahat,” Rosete added.
(As we continue our efforts towards a better Malabon, you can be assured that the city government will not neglect anyone and will continue to implement health programs for all.)
