Asistensi, Healthcare Plans For OFWs and Their Families

Inadequate health insurance coverage can be a barrier to access health services, from simple laboratory tests to medical procedures. In addition, the Covid-19 has challenged our healthcare system where rising costs were already a major concern. How to deal with this and how should we prepare for medical emergencies?

Asistensi Digital Healthcare Plans

asistensi, a global digital healthcare company that offers accessible digital end-to-end healthcare plans, has recently launched in the Philippines with a focus on providing healthcare coverage to families of migrant workers. asistensi is led by a group of healthcare professionals with nearly two decades of experience in Europe and Latin America. Given the significant population of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), the company decided to establish itself in the country with the goal of supporting migrant workers and their families with accessible quality healthcare designed specifically for them and will ultimately provide peace of mind.

Bjorn Pardo, Managing Director, asistensi Philippines said

“Every Filipino knows of someone who works overseas. Whether it’s a family member or a friend, it’s hard not to think about how challenging it must be for OFWs to juggle their many concerns while ensuring that they are able to provide financial support to those back home,”.

Most OFWs are breadwinner in their family. Unfortunately, they also faced many challenges and difficulties abroad that affects their health.

“Health is a priority but oftentimes only dealt with on a per-need basis and investments in this aspect often take the backseat to more pressing concerns. This is the gap we want to address - we want migrant workers to have the peace of mind that in the event of sudden need, their families in the Philippines can be covered by a healthcare plan that relieves them of immediate financial stress and allows them to focus on the health issues at hand,” added Pardo.

Asistensi Tele-Consultation
