My friend just gave birth through cesarian section here in Thailand. We’ve found out that the package fee for a Cesarian section has already increased from 37 Thousand Baht to 40-45 Thousand baht. I remember that I only paid 32Thousand baht for my Cesarian section at the same hospital 2 years ago. So, I asked my friend if she has PhilHealth insurance in the Philippines. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have one. Our Philhealth insurance can actually refund us a portion of our hospital bills even if we got hospitalized outside the Philippines. I remember being reimbursed more than 20 thousand pesos for my operation.
During these days, getting health or medical insurance, life insurance or mortgage life insurance is no longer a luxury but as a necessity if we look at the future.
