Social Development

Social Development is UPLIFT's response to the growing needs of our partners in terms of health service and social assistance.

UPLIFT and PHILHEALTH PARTNERSHIP
UPLIFT, in partnership with PhilHealth, assists UPLIFT partners (and non-partners) become PhilHealth members for them to have access to its medical insurance. In addition, UPLIFT offers social development services called 'Oras ng Pamilya' by giving them counselling on health and other issues as well as referral to other services.

What is PhilHealth?
PhilHealth is a government corporation that ensures sustainable, affordable and progressive social health insurance. It is a program that gives Filipinos access to affordable, adequate and quality health care services. You may visit their website at: www.philhealth.gov.ph

ORAS NG PAMILYA (Family Time)

It is a counselling time dedicated to accommodate inhabitants of poor communities (partner/non-partner) to discuss their concerns regarding different social and health related issues. A Social Development Coordinator will identify possible solutions that would address their problems, particularly those related with health and family matters.

Every week the SD Coordinators assists the partners and PhilHealth beneficiaries during “Oras ng Pamilya”. We ensure that the partners have access to proper health services and assistance in administrative and social matters.
