Dengvaxia Update: DOH & PhilHealth to Shoulder Patient Expenses

Were you or your children injected with Dengvaxia as part of the Department of Health (DOH) country-wide vaccination program?

Dengvaxia Watch with Department of Health

Aside from the horrifying issues surrounding the Dengvaxia project, the government should also give priority of remedying the problem at hand - which is the condition of the injected patients - and not just on the finger-pointing and blame passing between government officials!

We believe that the perpetrators or the responsible officials leading to the fiasco should be held accountable. Nonetheless, the 'victims', the children, and their families should also be assisted and taken-cared of.

It's actually a matter of life and death as disclosed by vaccine manufacturer Sanofi.

DOH & PhilHealth to Shoulder Dengvaxia Patient Expenses

If there's any consolation as of the moment, the Philippine government have made it clear that Dengvaxia patients' medical expenses in public and private hospitals shall be shouldered by the DOH and Philhealth.

Take note of that! We've heard incidents where Dengvaxia patients were not offered free services and were asked to pay by some hospitals.

Department of Health

You should be proactive enough and reiterate to the hospital that you are a Dengvaxia patient and the medical expense should be charged to DOH and Philhealth instead.

Kindly report to DOH or Philhealth if hospitals shall not honor this order. you may also report to us by leaving a comment below so we could assist you in the name of citizen fellowship.
